This was an amazing tour thanks to our guide, Yen. He went above and beyond to explain the chocolate and coffee manufacturing process, answered all the questions we had, interacted so well with our kids, and even let my wife try all the various fruits that grow on the plantation, which wasn’t even part of the tour itself. We all had a fantastic time, learned a lot, know so much more about all the coffee we drink, and left with some awesome treats. Thanks to Yen!!

Coffee and chocolate
Rhonda_G, Apr 2024
This is a great tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and provided us with a tremendous amount of background information. Then, to be able to see the process of coffee and chocolate production from the plant to product, and to be actively involved in it, was truly fun and fascinating. Great tour! A ‘not to miss’ one
Amazing, educational and fun
lisa_d, Apr 2024
What an amazing experience this was! Very educational and fun all wrapped into 1. Our guide was wonderful and super knowledgeable about the whole process of growing the beans to making coffee and chocolate. It will definitely make you appreciate each cup of coffee you drink or chocolate bar you eat. Highly recommend this.
A worthwhile tour!

Great guide! Loved the hands on experiences and tastings! Walked away with a deep appreciation for the growing of coffee- the process to ready it and the different times for roasting!
What a great time!

This was one of the best and most informative tours! You also got to see other species of fruit trees, and some nature watching. Yen was a great guide and answered all our questions. Well worth the time and money.
Authentic tour.

A sweet tour

Everything I expected and wanted out of a coffee + chocolate tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable not only about the product but about the local flora and fauna as well. We had a great time tasting fresh coffee and chocolate.

Dibier was our guide. He was amazing! So very full of information. He went above and beyond our expectations. I learned so much today and we even got to see a sloth!❤️
My tour guide needs a raise!
Brittani_R, Jul 2023
My husband and I came to Costa Rica for vacation and we signed up for this tour. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Our tour guide was Alex who provided us with in depth information on how chocolate and coffee is grown, processed, and made into the products we love so much. Their coffee and chocolate are very good too. I bought a bunch to take back home. Thank you again Alex and remember folks, don't forget to tip. I bring extra tipping money for those who have strong work ethics.
Informative and fun for kids
Antoinette_A, Jun 2023
Our guide, Alex, did a fantastic job of telling us about the coffee and chocolate growing in Costa Rica. We got to see everything from the berries in the trees, to the drying and roasting in different stages, to the tasting different types of coffee. Same with the chocolate, in addition to making our own chocolate bars. Highly recommend for families.
Great
Lillian_J, May 2023
The tour was very informative and interactive. We got to make our own chocolate bar to our own personal taste and my husband even added cinnamon and vanilla to his.
Awesome coffee tour!!!
Jonathan_S, Apr 2023
My girlfriend, 2 friends, and I went on the tour. We absolutely loved it! The coffee tour takes 1 hour and the chocolate tour takes 1 hour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned so much! We made our own chocolate, coffee, and got free samples of bananas, chocolate, and coffee. We highly recommend!

Our tour guide was amazing. He was so informative and insightful. We were even able to make our own chocolate bars from scratch & taste fresh coffee.
Fun and informative experience
Bill_G, Feb 2023
It was very cool to learn the history of chocolate and coffee. It was even more cool to see how both are made. Walking away with our own handmade chocolate was amazing, though I much prefer eating the chocolate from the gift shop. Yen was an awesome tour guide!
Fun Day with Friends

Yen was so knowledgeable and we made our own chocolate! The coffee was amazing! Guess what bug is the only bug to pollinate cocoa plant!
