Great Chocolate Walk with Paul and Oscar

My family group took a 2 PM chocolate walk with Paul and Oscar on 6/19. Our guides were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They made the walk and the chocolate tasting a real experience. The chocolate milkshakes at Caribeans after the walk were exceptional!!

Worth it for the air conditioning

There's several flavors of chocolate to sample. The staff was polite and helpful. They even explained our shipping options.
