Great fun - This was a super friendly and fun experience and the making of chocolate was explained very well by Rolando. There was a large group of people and all were accommodated with patience and kindness.

Super recommended!!! - Beautiful experience, they show you the step by step of preparing the chocolate bars and then you can make your own and take it for free (1 is only included in the price - if you want to make more than one can but it is paid separately). The best part was the tasting of the end, amazing!!! Highly recommended!!!

Educational and interactive for all ages - My family loved this experience at Nomé. We learned all about the process of making chocolate and got to taste the cacao bean at each stage. The guide made it fun and interactive and seamlessly transitioned from Spanish to English. Getting to make our own chocolate bar was also a cool experience. While our bars cooled, we had a chocolate tasting of all of the Nomé varieties. Highly recommend the Geisha coffee flavor. My kids are 12 and 8 and really enjoyed this experience.

Overpriced - OK - simply ok - do it if you want to kill time and waste your money. We learnt about the chocolate making process. But putting melted chocolate in a mold and sprinkling toppings on it was very basic and not worth the price. While I loved the taste of the chocolate, both my teen kids hated it. They refuse to eat the chocolate we made amounting to $180 (for 4 tiny bars).
