Very pleasant and interesting workshop. - Really recommend this workshop. Found out a lot of things about cocoa and chocolate. Furthermore each of us got the chance to work on his chocolate and experience the process. Andres, our professor was very nice and speaks good English. We were at no moment in a hurry and everybody got to do each step.

Delicious! - Had a great time making chocolate. It would definitely be fun as a group, but I ended up with a private session after another group cancelled, which was fun too. The guide/instructor was excellent - very friendly and knowledgeable. The shop was easy to work with in setting up the reservation time, just email them and they're very responsive. Most importantly, the chocolate was delicious!
