Bitter sweet chocolate fun!

Excellent experience. Rolando was knowledgeable, engaging and kept the tour entertaining. The cacao transformation to chocolate was delicious! And we were very close to our hotel so we were able to walk there and back. A great way to spend a few hours.

Excellent Chocolate!

Learning about making chocolate at Nomé was very interesting and a lot of fun. My son enjoyed it and we learned a lot about the different chocolates of Panamá. Would recommend this!

Interesting class, learned a lot

The make your own chocolate experience was informative, but not very interactive. We arrived to our group of 6 and, after brief introductions, began learning about the types of chocolate and how it was made. As far as "making your own," it was just us pouring the chocolate (that the host had already ground and mixed) into molds and then sprinkling from a few toppings. It was really informative and I learned a lot, I just wish it was a bit more hands on.

Wonderful Experience

The chocolate making experience was educational and interactive. Orlando explained the chocolate making process from beginning to end and allowed us to see and taste the various stages. Making our own chocolate bar was lots of fun.

Fun chocolate experience

This 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!

Educational, fun, and chocolate!

It was an educational and fun class, and the chocolate tasting after was great! In fact, I took the class last year and liked it so much, I came again this year!

A Sweet and Memorable Chocolate Experience

The 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.
