Our experience with Mario and his team was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. From the moment he picked us up at our hotel in Guayaquil, we felt completely at ease. Mario is not only incredibly professional, but also warm, personable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. The drive to the cacao farm was seamless and comfortable, and Mario made the entire journey engaging by sharing so much fascinating information about Ecuador, the region, and the history of cacao. His knowledge is truly impressive, and he has a way of explaining things that keeps you interested the entire time. At the cacao farm, the experience only got better. Everything was beautifully organized, immersive, and authentic. We learned so much, and it was clear how much care and intention goes into every part of the tour. And the lunch, wow. The three-course meal completely exceeded our expectations. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I was genuinely blown away by the quality and presentation. It felt like a fine dining experience tucked into the most beautiful setting. Most importantly, we felt safe and well taken care of the entire time, which made it easy to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Mario went above and beyond in every way, and it is clear that his company takes great pride in delivering a top-tier experience. If you are considering this tour, do not hesitate to book it. Mario is exceptional, and this was truly one of the highlights of our trip.

What an incredible day, from pickup to return! This excursion combines learning about cacao and the culture around it, from walking through the grove of cacao plants, to turning it into paste, to eating different treats and dishes made with cacao. And finished with a home cooked meal. Extraordinary hospitality. Great value! Every person we interacted with was so passionate to share about their country, culture and special crop. We feel like we now have Ecuadorian friends! Great value. We can't recommend this experience highly enough!
Outstanding day of cacao and chocolate!

This was the best tour we’ve ever had the chance of taking! Our guide Alison was so personable and kind, and everything was at a pace that let us absorb the history and beauty of the land around us. We learned so much about where chocolate comes from, the cacao plants, the history of the industry, and the process of turning the cacao into chocolate. Allison was very knowledgeable and did a great job of including us in every part of the chocolate making process, which was a great hands- on experience for us. We didn’t know there were so many products and delicious things that come from cacao. Her expertise and friendly demeanor made this an overall amazing full day experience. We topped off our afternoon with a delicious home cooked 3-course meal on the premises among the breeze and the flowering trees. The food was delicious! Everyone on the farm was helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and happy to showcase their little piece of paradise. It was refreshing to experience such a welcoming and hospitable group of people working the chocolate making and also dining part of the tour. My son and I were the only two people on the tour this day, so Allison and her husband gave us a personalized educational day that could not be beat. We highly recommend this tour- and Allison as your guide.

Mario was a terrific guide and we had a lot of fun seeing the farm, picking a cacao pod, and grinding the beans! The chocolate and the lunch were delicious, and everyone involved was very friendly. The scenery of the farm was beautiful - we saw some gorgeous flowers and interesting birds like a kingfisher. Would love to go back and do more tours with this group.

It was an amazing experience! This is a hidden gem and a "must-do" excursion. From beginning to end, Mario was informative, funny and attentive. Along the drive to the farm, we stopped at one of the many fruit stands to purchase some fruit. Hacienda Cacao and Mango Farm is proud and passionate about their family planation. We were able to experience the making of chocolate from tree (the fruit) to chocolate paste. Mario provided various pairings of the chocolate with mango, solid sugar cane and bananas. We enjoyed each tasting. The cacao juice and chocolate drink were very tasty! Be sure to request for Mario booking this trip.

This was an unexpected, lovely experience. We drove one hour to a family farm, passed many fruit stands and local lands. Mario provided a well organized,safe trip. He provided the group with bottled water and animated narratives throughout the tour. The cacao plants and the chocolate making experience was great. The lunch was lovely, tasteful with beautiful presentation. Hacienda Cacao and Mango Farm is truly natural. The family members are welcoming and proud of their farm and products. The chocolate....Yum! Mario, thank you for your kindness and care. We all enjoyed our day.

Very much enjoyed this day trip from GYE. Left at 10 am, back at 4 p because we enjoyed it so much. ( if time is time is tight, it could be shorter, but we were all quite chatty). So much to learn about chocolate, cacao and life in Ecuador from this farmer and family. Hands on, personal and up close! English was very good. Entire experience was professional and hospitable, very casual. Also Expect a good lunch and exquisite chocolate dessert and take home chocolate bar. Accommodating for diet issues. Suitable for young kids. Just a little walking through cacao trees. There were a few mosquitoes, so bug spray would be smart…they had some to use as well. Good comms upon booking via what’s app. Better to spend day in farm country than the city! Very personal experience. Just our group of 3.

We were not sure what to expect when we booked this tour, but it far exceeded our expectations! Our guide Allyson Aleman was extremely knowledgeable and a joy to spend time with! We learned far more than we ever thought we would about cacao, chocolate, and South American agriculture! And the lunch was delicious. We highly recommend it!
