Made us very happy! - Yuly came to our Airbnb on time and took us to the farm. We were surprised at Yuly's level of English, as she spoke it perfectly and was a great conversationist! The farm was up in the mountains, embedded in nature and was refreshing. The hosts (Sandra and her father) were gracious and passionate to show us everything. Quickly, we learnt how artisanal chocolates are made from scratch (unlike the industrial ones), and we got to made our own. Sadly, our own creation was not as tasty as those sold from the farm (our faults but we are sure practice will make perfection:-))). While we waited for our own chocolates to be ready from the fridge, we were offered with soft sweet bread and hot cacao, and Sandra's daughter showed us her bracelets creation, which made perfect souvenirs! The whole family together with Yuly, were all lovely people (including the dogs), and we were sad when the tour was over. Though we may never return to the farm again, we would not stop recommending this tour to everyone we know heading to Medellin. It was a fantastic experience, locally created and suitable for all ages!

Fantastic tour with Erika - I recently went on a chocolate tour in Medellín, Colombia, led by our fantastic guide, Erika. She was an absolute delight—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about everything chocolate-related. From the history of cacao to the intricate process of making chocolate, Erika brought it all to life with enthusiasm and expertise. She also taught us a lot about the history of Colombia, seamlessly weaving it into the experience. The tour was a perfect blend of fun and education, and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Five stars without hesitation!

Erica and our cacao farm experience were amazing!! - This was an incredible tour of a cacao farm, from growing and harvesting the cacao, to tasting it at every stage, including just harvested, after the fermenting period, after roasting, and then the final product, a chocolate bar! Erica, our guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about cacao, but also generally the history of the region and of Colombia and South America. She took very good care of us as well. She is a very safe driver, and she was early to pick us up and delivered us home exactly on time too. We highly recommend!

Highly recommend! - We’re so glad we did this tour, it was the perfect way to wrap up our stay in Medellin! Sara was an excellent guide — we learned so much during the hour-long drive to the farm as she shared some of Medellin’s history, like how the communas came to be. At the cocoa farm (where the views were breath-taking!), Sara, together with one of the farm’s owners Sandra, taught us not only about cocoa varieties and how chocolate is made, but also the farm’s ecosystems, like the other fruit plants around it, the local birds, etc. Making chocolate (roasting the cocoa nibs, de-husking them, grounding them and creating our own) was fun but the best part was experiencing the hospitality of Sandra, Alicia (another of the farm’s co-owners), and Sara. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Fantastic day trip! - We can’t say enough about Medellin Day Trips. Wow! What an amazing experience. If you’re looking for a private, incredibly curated, informative and fun tour stop your search. This is it. Our guide Laura was absolutely amazing, informative and an overall pleasure to be with. We did the chocolate farm/Guatape tour…10/10!

One of the highlights of our trip! - Our trip to Medellin ended on a very high note! This was an incredible experience that will remain as one of the highlights of a great Colombian experience. The tour guides you through the process of making chocolate, from picking it all the way through enjoying it in a nice meal and treat 🍫! Yuly was the heart of the event, she treated us like her friends, made us feel very comfortable. No wonder people around the site respect her. I wish we had met her in the beginning to make sure she was out tour guide through the beautiful places to see in Medellin. 5 stars is very well deserved.

Cacao, flowers, birds & so much more - This cacao tour was amazing! Thank you so much to Sara, Doña Alicia and Sara for this wonderful experience. Saying we learned about cacao falls short. We ate different types of fruits, saw flowers we had never seen, and heard birds we had never heard. This was a real experience where we learned about cacao and its process to become chocolate. I can't recommend it enough!

Chocolate Chronicles 😋 - Truly a wonderful experience. The farm was amazing and so peaceful. The Family was so welcoming and hospitable. The tour was very hands on and informative. Andres was great, super friendly and knowledgeable. A must do tour if in the Medellin area. You learn so much about what true chocolate is and makes you rethink eating regular store bought bars.
