Mr

Our guide Joyce was very professional; we learned about dozens of different spices - how they grow, look, test etc. Ice cream at the middle of the tour was delicious, the part devoted to cacao and chocolate (including dark chocolate test) was just a perfect finish of the tour. At the end we stopped at the small gift shop and purchased some unique chocolate and local spices.

Interactive, educational and fun.

My husband and I were staying near Manuel Antonia and wanted to do something different to the standard wildlife and scenery tours. Being a bit of a food enthusiast this sounded really interesting. It put lots of things into context for us, such as why vanilla is so expensive. Chris was super helpful, knowledgeable and made the tour interactive which was even better. Made a pleasant change from many tours we've been on that just feel as though someone has memorised a script. The farm itself is beautiful and it's lovely to see that so much of it is natural rainforest. The tastings at the end were all lovely too. Highly recommend.

Vanilla spice tour is a must when visiting the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area!

This is a great tour! We took our 3 year old and the in-laws and everyone had a blast. We learned so much about the history and production of these spices. The samples and the treats at the end were delicious!
