Great day out in Grenada. - Great day out with Jeremy. He was very knowledgeable about the island’s plants and spices. He was very engaging, passionate about Grenada and we learnt a lot about Grenada. Only downside was the service and food at the Belmont Estate which was very slow and expensive for what it was. On the plus side, the Estate’s tour guide worked on to ensure we could complete the tour. Otherwise everything else was great. Would recommend the tour and the company. Jeremy was a fantastic tour guide.

See how proper chocolate is made! - Very interesting tour about how proper chocolate is made. Cater for all dietary requirements too. Our tour host showed his passion and joy for working there.

Crunchy Chocolate Day - The chocolate factory tour of Belmont estate which also included stops at the Annandale falls and grand etang crater lake was what we wanted to do for a full day experience. We were able to learn about the process of making chocolate and in the end of the tour we had many samples to try. We bought some for ourselves and family back home. My husband was concerned about the heat melting the chocolate but the tour guide at the estate assured us that their chocolate doesn’t melt if milk was added. We arrived back at the hotel and it was as solid as we picked them up which was really great I love my chocolate crunchy. It was such a fantastic experience you’ll love every bit of it

A Great Day - We booked this tour to get an over all feel for the island and visit a few places we were interested in seeing. I would describe this tour as a "highlights" tour to see as much as you can in one day.
Jeremy was an outstanding, friendly guide with much knowledge on the history, horticulture, agriculture and governmental aspects of Grenada. His love of plants and trees and their uses shown through.
The Annandale falls is very pretty and somewhat touristy but worth the stop. We spent about 20 minutes there. The drive through the mountains was beautiful with a few photo ops.
The next stop was Grand Etang lake which is in a crater. While there we ran into two hikers who had tried to hike up Mt. Qua Qua and were put off by the deep mud(12 inches in some areas) and had to turn back. We were thinking of trying that hike until we spoke with them. Our guide said it is due to the rainy season just ending so maybe in a few weeks it would be better.
On the way to Belmont Estate chocolate factory, we stopped to see a few monkeys alongside the road in the trees.There was a guy who is the "monkey whisperer" who coaxed one from the tree
to jump into some tourists arms for a banana. Very cool to see.
The Belmont Estate was a beautiful place with a great restaurant. We ate lunch there and had a guided tour if the chocolate factory. I guess there are other areas to see but the tour took up all the time so we weren't able to see the rest of the Estate. Great tour and great chocolate!
The drive back was very picturesque. I would do this tour again but would probably try to spend more time touring the Belmont Estate gardens. Jeremy was a wonderful guide and excellent driver on the twisty, windy roads...he is perfect for this career!

An amazing tour of Grenada. - Jeremy is an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable and held great conversations about the history, culture and life on the island. We got to see the monkeys at the national park, and a talking parrot at Belmont estates! My fiancée and I were the only two on this tour, and we had an amazing time.

Skip the chocolate factory - Our guide was amazing. The chocolate factory was not as good as we expected and the restaurant there was expensive for not great food

Interesting tour and great to sample the different varieties of chocolate - The estate is beautiful and up in the mountains. We did a tour about the history of chocolate which was really interesting. We got to see the chocolate making processes and also learnt about the other plants on the estate. Our daughters loved walking through the cocoa beans.
We loved tasting the chocolate at the end and were surprised that there was also white chocolate.

good tour, spend more time at Belmont Estate - Jeremy is a great guide. Super friendly and knowledgeable. The Belmont Estate was a nice visit, and I wish we had more time there. In fact, I would spend more time at Belmont and drop Annandale Falls, which is, let's face it, a tourist trap. It's a small waterfall 100yds down a paved road lined with sellers hawking their wares. Grand Etang Lake, well, honestly it's just a pond with some koi in it. However, while we were there we did come across somebody who was able to coax a monkey down from a tree, and my wife got to hold the monkey, so that was worth it.

Disappointing experience - The visit to the Chocolate Factory was highly enjoyable and educational, the factory's guide was learned, enthusiastic and a joy. Learning about chocolate growing was tge highlight of this trip.
The trip's sightseeing experience was marred by a driver/guide who spoke broken English, did not know the flora or fauna (or the English words for them.) The "bus" was a 20-year old, beaten up Toyota with bald tires.
For the price, I expected a much better tour.
