Super informative - Loved this! This was a super informative tour. Small size so we had more 1:1 action which was great. It was all at the same place which was super convenient. Note: this isn’t a tour of the farm but they have all the plants etc at the place.

Very informative - Very informative, learned a lot about coffee and cocoa. Eating real whole cocoa before it gets separated into oil and powder was amazing. Learned important facts on what makes a good coffee bean. Experience is right in town in coco behind Simbiosis bistro where they give you breakfast or lunch with the tour.

Just go! You will not regret it. - Excellent demonstration on chocolate from the plant until you consume it. The Coca tea was excellent, A non-coffee drinker, but after trying the coffee made the traditional way I could become a convert. The lunch that followed was very tasty. Wish had the tour on our first day not our last day.

Great local experience - Rosbin was informative, enthusiastic, and kind. I will never look at coffee and cocoa in the same way. Fun and full of interesting information, great tastings of cocoa, coffee, and beans, and the lunch was top notch. Recommended if you want an easy, engaging event in the Coco area, or if you just want to stop off for an espresso or a lovely costa rican lunch.

A feast for the senses - This is a very neat experience but I’m not sure that “tour” is the right word. It’s more of a demonstration/experience. It was great to see the different stages of chocolate and coffee in such a small setting so we got to feel and smell all of the beans and taste so many different flavors. The lunch was also great and we loved being able to purchase chocolate and coffee afterwards.

Good information - Speaker with a lot of knowledge. Gave us a lot of information about sugar cane, chocolate and coffee. You should know that everything happens behind the coffee shop, not on a plantation.
