Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This was one of the best tours we have ever taken. We learned about the entire process of how chocolate is made, from the flower to the finished bars and drinks. Our guide for the day was Allyson, and she was very warm and friendly. Back to the farm. We saw many different types of fruit trees while we were there, and had the opportunity to try some of the fruits we’ve never had before. Back to the chocolate process. This was extremely interactive, and our son, who has ADHD, was engaged the entire time. You really use your 5 senses to make the chocolate. There is a lot of hard work and time that goes into it. We had a couple of chocolate drinks (one cold and one hot), and both were great. I don’t want to give too much away as it was a very special tour. We did get to put our own ingredients in a chocolate bar to take with us. Lunch was wonderful! We had some allergies and food issues in the group, so they had to make a variety of items that tasted great. Everything was fresh, and the presentation was incredible. They served limonda at lunch which was really good too. For those wondering, they use filtered water, so it’s safe to drink. But bring some water with you on the tour, as it does get hot in the sun. You are in shade quite a bit, but water will help. Also, don’t skimp on the mosquito repellant. The organic ones don’t work well. There are a lot of mosquitos, but they also have mosquito spray that we used, and that stopped them from attacking us. My best advice is it’s annoying (and only for the first 30 minutes of the tour), but forget about it, and enjoy the farm. It’s amazing!

Through Fragoso Tour, we carry out a visit to the Cocoa Farm and City tour. The guide João was incredible! We learned a lot about the Cocoa culture and history of Ilhéus! The visit had a different shine with so much knowledge and knowledge! Congratulations ! It elevated our trip! I recommend Fragoso Tour!

We last visited Ecuador in August 2015! I wrote a review about our fantastic time when I was eight months pregnant! Because of Mario, we couldn't wait to revisit Ecuador! He has a way of making his country the most beautiful and exciting one in the world. On this trip, we returned with a party of six. I (39 years old), my sons (ages 8 and 9), my parents (ages 67 and 72), and my sister (age 38). My oldest son has significant mental health issues, and my sister is mentally delayed. I say this because when traveling, people often shy away from groups with developmental disabilities or handicaps. This is NOT the way with Mario! He was so accommodating! My oldest could get very moody and dark; Mario knew when to give him space and when to engage with him. Mario was always aware of his surroundings and would give him gentle nudges if something wasn't 100%.
We went on three tours with Mario and Hacienda Cocoa y Mango, and it was our final day! We had already been traveling for ten days and were on the edge of being sick of each other. The reason I write this review isn't because of how fantastic the chocolate-making day was but because of how excellent Mario and Gabby were with my sister and son! That day, we rode cooly in a van with driver Miguel alongside Gabby and Mario. Stopping on the way to grab bananas! Off the street, the boys were so impressed with the abundance of fruit! We then got back in to continue on our journey to the farm. The boys needed to run and stretch upon arrival as young kids did. Mario let them explore and engaged them in a scavenger hunt to find the perfect cocoa pod to crack open. The boys would swing while he gave the adults information about the farming process. He then engaged them in step-by-step instructions on how to make chocolate. The boys and my sister were involved in each process, from cracking the pop to roasting the bean inside. We couldn't wait to dive into the delicious fondue they had made.
Then, after making our chocolate bars, we sat down for, hands down, the best lunch I've had in South America! It was a three-course meal with so much food. But I have to call attention to the fact that Mario called ahead to ensure there was food my very picky American children would eat! We were so surprised to see homemade chicken tenders and french fries! It was so thoughtful! The food for the adults was incredible and was quickly the best we had in Ecuador on this trip!
The whole day was memorable for my family, and I am so thankful for Mario and Gabby's patience and kindness with our group!

Dear Mickey,
Thank you so so much for taking your time in writing this wonderful review.
I just want to say that at this point, you and your your family feels more like family me since we have had shared so many adventures together and fun times! Me and Gaby had a great time with you in the cocoa farm this time.
It was my honor to guide you again, and your family and meeting your sister who is a great person!
Best wishes and stay in touch for more future adventures!
Big hugs,
Mario

If you only have a few days in Guayaquil, you should definitely not miss this experience.
Mario brings a lot of knowledge about the economic context, life and culture in the city and the rural regions around Guayaquil. In a relaxed, chatty atmosphere, you can learn a lot about the local conditions and, of course, cocoa and chocolate production in just half a day.
An absolute must and worth every cent.

Do not miss this tour, and do not miss out on visiting Guayaquil! Mario has been guiding for many years now - he is super knowledgeable, speaks English as well as Spanish, has fantastic contacts to locals to offer this amazing experience (as well as a range of other things), and he can recommend anything you need for your travels (accommodation, other activities, safe taxi transport etc). I only had a single day free for a tour and it turned out to be election day in Guayaquil, and it was Sunday. I didn't think anyone would be able to arrange a tour on such day. Mario and the family who own the finca made all arrangements to offer me an amazing experience, despite me being the only guest on that day. I was collected from my hotel on time and we spend hours on the finca. I felt like a child in a candy store! The owner provided a private tour and shared his knowledge and passion about what he is growing - cocoa is just one thing, but he also grows a large variery of fruit, spices, vegetables, coffee... I learnt so much in these few hours, and got to taste just about everything he was growing. Super interesting. The chocolate making experience was so much fun and super tasty. Best chocolate I ever tasted! And we somehow managed to still squeeze in the beautiful lunch that was prepared just for us, by the wife of the finca owner. After the experience at the finca, Mario showed me around town, sharing info about Guayaquil's history, daily life, and where I can venture alone on my next day in town. Guayaquil has a fantastic waterfront, and there is so much to see and do in the city. I should have stayed a lot longer. Do not be scared off by reviews about crime in the city - as in any big city, use common sense and spend a day when you arrive with a knowledgeable local guide (like Mario) and explore this place. I had absolutely no problems as a solo female traveller. Mario's advice about where to go was spot on, people were absolutrly lovely, and there is visible tourism police all around town to help you if you get lost. I will definitely need to return, and take advantage of all the other experiences Mario offers. Thank you, Mario, to you and the owners of the beautiful finca. It was a day to remember. I really appreciate the hospitality and hope to return someday soon.

Incredible day with Mario learning about small-farming techniques on a local cacao farm. Great activities incl walking the farm, roasting beans to make chocolate, and custom chocolate bar making. Incredible lunch was also included.
Mario taught us so much about Ecuadorian life and was an incredible host. Highly recommend this tour if you have a some time in Guayaquil!

We had a great time with Mario and everyone on the chocolate farm were wonderful hosts. We especially appreciated the ability to make the meal vegetarian. During the one hour trip outside of Guayaquil to the farm, Mario taught us about the local landscape and even helped explain recent political events. We would highly recommend this tour!

Possibly one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Mario puts together an amazing experience at the cocao farm where he is an extension of the family there.
We began with a comfortable ride in a van while Mario provided information along our drive. He even stopped along the road to pickup bananas for our chocolate later. Because he hires a driver we were able to interact with him throughout, which was thoroughly enjoyable.
At the farm we took a short tour to see the wide variety of crops they grow and animals raised for the family, which is quite large. We broke open a ripe cacao fruit and tasted the fresh seeds (you suck on them, not chew).
Next we learned about and participated in the roasting and grinding of the beans. This was followed by tasting of the chocolate in various combinations with other items. We drank traditional drinks as well which were great.
Next we went to see you they turn the ground chocolate into a liquid form, cool, and we made our own bars by adding fruits and other items.
Finally, we enjoyed a wonderful 3 course lunch, sourced with ingredients from and around the farm and prepared with family recipes. The owner who runs the restaurant stopped by to make sure all was good and to tell us about herself and the recipes.
Mario clearly works to provide a premium tour and works hard to make sure we all enjoyed. This particular tour is one of his passions as he has a history with cacao farming. I would highly recommend any tour he offers!

Super friendly Mario took us on a tour of the Cocoa farm, a small independent operation near Guayaquil. It was a magical experience and we learned all about the farming of cocoa pods and making the purest chocolate I have ever had. Then we had an all organic lunch prepared by the gracious hosts. The farm is self sufficient and everything is produced there. A family run operation, it is a text book model of micro farming. When you are there you kind of wish the whole world was like that.
Mario is an expert chocolate maker and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the country and Latin America. The Lonely Planet calls him the best tour guide in Ecuador and it is a well deserved reputation. We traveled all over the country and his advice and help in planning was invaluable. This is only one tour he does and at the end of the day you will have a smile on your face.
