Solo trip - It was a good experience, just that I was more prepared for a bigger mall, in 10-15 minutes I was done and ready to leave I love the chocolate I recommend the coffee oil

Very disappointed - Terrible experience because an unidentified person started messaging me via WhatsApp and saying they would arrive an hour and a half earlier than our appt time. We couldn’t agree to the new pickup time so the excursion was cancelled.

There was confusion with... - There was confusion with our booking, which I believe was due to Viator double-booking us with another company. I received messages from both companies, but we ended up with the one we hadn't paid for. When we realized we were with a different company, we contacted this company to take us from the Don Lucas parking lot to the correct tour we had booked. We paid $6 per person (for a total of 12 people) for this company to literally take us to a corner store. We did not visit Bella Mare as advertised, nor did we see any cigar rolling demonstrations, and the staff lacked knowledge about cigars. We received only a rum sample because we persistently asked for it. Unfortunately, we did not learn anything about chocolate during this experience. They did provide us with a few complimentary cigars to try at the store. One of our group members paid for store purchases using a credit card. She was quoted $63, but upon checking her billing statement, she found that she was charged $82. We tried to make the best of the situation because we just wanted to enjoy our trip. However, we do not recommend this company or this experience.

Don't do it - This was one of my most disappointing travel experiences. The guide informed us that Belle Mare was closed when he picked us up, leading us to a low-quality shack down a dirt road and directing us to just one shop. Although there were other shops nearby, he did not give us the option to stop and explore. We missed out on the promised rum and chocolate tastings and were driven back to the resort within 30 minutes. I cannot recommend this experience, and I believe guides should be thoroughly vetted to ensure that the services promised are actually delivered. Additionally, the store featured on the website did not resemble the place we were taken to.

Bad experience - This was one of the worst experiences I had on a trip - the guide claimed Belle Mare was closed at the time he picked us up & took us to a subpar shack down a dirt road & steered us to one shop. There were other shops nearby but he did not allow us to stop & browse. We did not have any rum or chocolate tasting. We were driven back to the resort within 30 minutes - very disappointing. Not recommend & guides should be vetted to ensure services are rendered. The store picture on the website did not match were we were driven to.
