This tour was fantastic for a nature lover like myself! It was a one of a kind experience! Also, learning about the chocolate making process and getting to taste was so much fun! It was raining during our tour and they let us borrow walking sticks and umbrellas. I was a bit nervous since I am 6 months pregnant that the walking may be difficult but it was totally doable. All of the staff was excellent!It is quite difficult to answer the favorite part. It was all wonderful. -- the grounds, plants, knowledge and especially our guide, Heidi.
