The Fast & The (not) Furious - The Fast & The (Not) Furious May 2024 We booked this tour for our last day in St. Lucia with a flight scheduled to leave in the afternoon. Our driver arrived on time, and when we hopped into the car, I heard the tune of 50 Cent. I felt my New Yawker vibe in the car and asked our driver, Sheldan, where he was from, and he responded that he was from St. Lucia but grew up in New York and is now living in St. Lucia. I will say that the best part of the chocolate tour was the ride with Sheldan. Don't get me wrong, making chocolate was great and educational (grinding cacao beans in a hot mortar, making a bar above the grade of 65%, etc), but being able to talk with Sheldan for almost 2 hours to and from about anything St. Lucia, is what I'll remember the most. When I told Sheldan we were limited with time because of a flight in the afternoon, he let us know the location of Project Chocolat was on the other side of the island and not close to our hotel, but not to worry; he'll get us there and back in time for our flight. We were in great hands with Sheldan. Our Fast but not Furious (very kind and sweet) driver was the right person for the drive because he's into cars and knew how to handle the winding roads…the roads that seemed to have cliffs that dropped off into the abyss and went up and down like a roller coaster ride. Sheldan was professional, personable and attentive. He offered us refreshments, talked about sights along the way, stopped for photos and in general, answered whatever curious questions I had. Also, during the chocolate tour, Sheldan informed the instructors of our limited time so they could adjust the chocolate-making experience class to our schedule. He took care of us so that we didn't have to worry about anything.

Great trip - Amazing experience! Would recommend to anyone interested in chocolate. Everyone was so kind. Chocolate was amazing it was cool to have it in it authentic form.

Chocolat and Rum - John our driver was very professional. Kept us safe on the winding roads. Patient too. Recommend this guy ...clean taxi and refreshments too . Nothing was any trouble and we all got on well

Highly recommended island tour- ask for Sheldon - I highly recommend this tour if you want a nice drive down the island with chocolate included. Our guide, Sheldon was AWESOME! He was very knowledgeable about all the locations and knew where to stop for the best views. We partook in the chocolate making experience at Hotel Chocolat and got to bring home our own chocolate that we made. On the way back we had an authentic St. Lucian lunch and stopped for great photos.
