Great for those who love History and Chocolate - Our tour guide Jose was the absolute best! We went to the Mayan Cacao Company and learned so much about Mayan chocolate and were even able to try some. A real treat if you're interested in some Mayan history and how chocolate came to be!

Very interesting and delicious chocolate! - Roberto was an amazing guide. We learned a lot about Mayan culture and history of chocolate. Got to taste great fresh hand made chocolate. We were really lucky to be only 2 on tour so got a private tour. Loved it! Thanks Roberto!

Chocolate tour - We did the general tour, we had our guide Paty all to ourselves on a 10am tour. If you are staying on the island get there early to avoid the cruise ship crowd! Paty was wonderful a very informative tour and she made chocolate for us from scratch it was delicious!! Also had tortillas and mole that were made that morning. We found the items in the gift shop to be reasonably priced. A quick 1hr tour and we had a great time!!

Great!! - Super interessant. We got a (private) tour from Paty, who explains everything clearly and in a fun way! And you get to taste the chocolate, too. Definitely recommended if you are on Cozumel.

Good for a quick trip - Interesting place with entertaining chocolate making demonstration. Some tasting and shopping. A chocolate tequila was refreshing if not very alcoholic.

The best staff! - Highly recommend the Mayan Cacao company! We did the general admission tour but wished we had more time to do the workshop. We were next door at Playa Mia at our cruise excursion and left to take the chocolate tour. Best part of our day! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our tour guide Roberto made the experience very memorable and the chocolate making demonstration by Paty was excellent!
