Cannot recommend this tour enough. Not only is it delicious & fun, it’s extremely educational and we learned so much! We thought we knew a thing or two about coffee, turns out we didn’t! Jonathan did a great job keeping everyone engaged. Totally worth the time & money.

The most memorable part of the excursion was all the different chocolates, coffee tastings and Alberto!
Jay_B, Apr 2024
This was an awesome tour. We sampled many different chocolates, learned the process and were well informed. The coffee portion was super informative to understand the different methods, where they originated and how the compare. Alberto was super knowledgeable and engaged with the group.

Well-paced and informative tour of the north fields coffee and chocolate plantation. The tour guide was very friendly, passionate, and delivered the information in a way that was engaging to listen to. Delicious coffee and chocolate fresh from the plants you walk among. Plenty of shade so even hot afternoons are bearable.

We really enjoyed the tour and learning about coffee and chocolate production. The tour is around 3 hours and you get to try cups of coffee and some chocolate. I had a great experience!

Alberto was a great guide for this experience! He had a great demeanor and kept our group of 8 entertained the entire time. I left the tour feeling like I truly learned a lot. Would definitely recommend!

Dear customer
When you travel it is recomended to check locations and descriptions in advance.
We never get to know where in the world our customers are when they book.
Our tour description on viator says where we are located. (La Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica).
If you need to be picked up in the area we really apreciate you select the places that are listed on our description on viator.
We are so sad you did not get to experinece our nice place.
