5 tours reviewed
This is the shortlist for anyone with one free day: the 5 dessert tours in Playa del Carmen that are worth the drive, each with its price, its verdict from the people who went, and the one thing to know before you book.
Cozumel’s Mayan cacao and margarita workshop. Make a chocolate bar and chocolate margarita with a bilingual guide. Small group.
“So much fun! Learning about the Mayan culture related to the Cacao and then actually making chocolate. Would highly recommend!”
Tulum mezcal and chocolate tasting with five agaves, a seasonal mezcal cocktail, snacks, and award-winning pairings with Shamira.
“Shamira is absolutely delightful. She was throughly engaging and did a great job showing the entire process of mezcal and chocolate creation from plant harvesting to getting it on shelves. She also guided me through tasting 5 different mezcals and just as many types of chocolate in a way that made it easier to notice all of the subtle differences between each product. I would definitely recommend doing this while you're in Tulum.”
Guided Uxmal and Kabah ruins, Choco Story chocolate museum, and a three-course Yucatecan lunch. Merida pickup at 8am.
“Uxmal is incredible, what a beautiful place! Our guide Saul was great, very informative, he could answer every question, was always up for some fun, and he mastered the tour in Spanish and English simultaneously. We were a small group which made the tour even more private. Kabah and the Chocolate Museum are also a great places and worth a visit when you're anyway arouns. The food was very good, however, the whole lunch part felt a bit rushed. Overall an amazing day.”
Make Mayan-style chocolate at Stingray Beach, then pair it with red and white wine. Small-group 2-hour tour in Cozumel.
“We had a great time!!!!! We loved making, tasting and learning about chocolate. The lady hosting was amazing.”
Make a chocolate bar on Cozumel’s seaside terrace, learn Aztec and Mayan cacao methods, then taste it with red wine and a chocolate martini.
“This activity was so fun! It was the perfect mix of information, activity, and tasting. Wendy was a friendly and knowledgeable guide who shared her expertise and personal connections to the history of chocolate in the Mayan Culture. The welcome cocktail and wine were yummy and the chocolate was absolutely divine! I would strongly recommend this tour!”
