The tour was excellent and informative. It was pretty much what you would assume. Overall, it takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hours. You are invited to stay after the tour and walk the grounds for photos or to see the butterfly exhibit. Definitely stop to see the butterflies. It's a definite highlight of the tour.

It was fun getting to pick the coffee beans from the plant and touring the factory to see how the beans are separated, peeled, dried, and packaged. The chocolate and coffee tasting was a delicious ending to the coffee tour.
Nice plantation tour

Lovely plantation - we enjoyed the tour very much. Staff was very knowledgeable about the coffee process. We learned a lot!
Fantastic!

The experience was excellent. Andrea was an excellent guide. We learned so much about the production of coffee. We have since recommended the tour to people in San Jose.
Great tour, funny guide, but pricy lunch
Larissa_Z, Jul 2022
Great tour over the coffee plantation! We had a lovely and funny guide who told the stories about the plantation in a clear and passionate way with jokes in between. It was fascinating to see the process of coffee production from beginning to end chronologically. Actually the only downside was the price of the food. The lunch was buffet style, but in the end you were only allowed to walk to the buffet one time. Although the quality of the food was good, we found this a little strange. Nonetheless, we would definitely recommend this tour!
Coffee tour was wonderful! Sugar Cane tour didn't happen.

The coffee tour was fantastic. I learned so much about coffee picking and processing. The guide gave many interesting details. We got to touch the coffee beans at several stages, and we got to see much of the actual processing. The sugar cane tour didn't happen. There is an out-of-use partial mill on the premises, which we were welcome to go see, but there was no tour or information involved. I was very disappointed about that. I would love to see the processing of sugar cane.
