5.00This was one of the many fun parts of our vacation. The guide tried engage everyone and we had a fun group. The only negatives were… it was very clean but hygiene could be improved a little( he seemed to use his gloved hands for everything but not sure if he changed gloves after handling money, also when a boy’s sleeve got in the chocolate he ignored it ) and during the tasting perhaps they could have offered more plain chocolate- varieties of plain dark chocolate perhaps- instead of just fruit . All in all I would recommend it!
Excellent

A Sweet and Memorable Chocolate Experience

4.00The chocolate-making experience at Nomé Chocolate was a delightful and memorable activity. My best friend and I discovered it while exploring the area on a walking tour, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our visit. The experience is especially well suited for small groups, couples, and families with young children, creating an intimate and hands-on environment that is both fun and educational. One of the highlights was learning about Panamanian chocolate and participating in the chocolate-making process. The tasting portion was equally enjoyable, featuring a variety of chocolates, including beautifully crafted bonbons with rich, creamy fillings and unique flavor combinations. It was a wonderful introduction to Panama's chocolate culture and a sweet experience we would highly recommend.
Show and tell.

3.00I thought it was interesting. You can't help but to love chocolate. I got more knowledge on how the candy is made and how cacao % is factored and how unprepared to prepared chocolate taste and how it works. I guess I thought we would learn more hands on chocolate making but it was more show and tell. That okay I guess but I thought the price for this was a little high to only get 1 candy bar at the end. $135 was the total for 3 persons and we got to put chocolate into a form and sprinkle on toppings and that was the hands on part. Still a fun cool activity to do in Old Town Panama. Just know what your getting and don't exspect anything like a cooking class. It's show and tell and a single take home bar for $45 each. There was also tasting of tiny slivers of chocolate pieces and a sip of wine. I would sum it up to say a very neat idea but not much there regarding delivery of a hands on experience. I also wish they would have us wash our hands before making a group project we will all be eating.....
Beautiful experience with...

5.00Great fun! I didn’t know Willy Wonka was from Panama.🤣 We learned the entire process from harvest to making our on chocolates with what you like (nuts, fruits, etc.) ended with a tasting of several other products filled with caramel and passion fruit. Can’t miss! 5 stars!

5.00Wonderful experience, learning about how there is a difference betwen chocolate and "candy." The host did a wonderful job breaking down the processes and having us use our senses along the way from the bean to the finished product.
