5.00Awesome experience Ian is an awesome tour guide. He is super personalable native of Costa Rica. He really knows the county. He took us to a knowledgeable cigar roller and we got to roll our own cigar while we smoked a cigar. He then took us to Hacienda El Viejo where we got to eat authentic Costa Rican food and went on a tour and we were told on the history of Rum making in Costa Rica and the process in how it's made. A very great experience highly recommend to anyone who enjoys cigar and rum or wants to a great experience in Costa Rica
Best tour of our Costa Rica trip!

5.00What a great experience - we met our host Ian at the cigar workshop and he helped translate as we learned more about the sourcing and preparation of the tobacco, the filler layers and process of rolling cigars and finally the finishing tobacco wrap. We got to enjoy a cigar while we rolled one ourselves, which we got to take home. We also bought a collection of hand-rolled cigars made by Delys, who is one of the workshop owners. Next we drove with Ian to a sugar cane farm where we first had a great lunch in a beautiful old manor house. We then got a tour and learned about the growing and harvesting process and tasted the sugar in various forms as it's processed. Finally, we tasted several infusions of rum that they distill on site and ended up purchasing a few bottles to take home. I can't say enough positives about the tour or our host Ian and CR Limo Company. The tour was easy to arrange and communication was excellent. Ian is a fun host, native of Costa Rica and very knowledgable - and fun to talk with. Highly recommend this tour and company.
Friendly, informative, Genuine, Worth every penny!

5.00We were anxious initially as we had never visited Costa Rica before and are from North Dakota. We met at a nearby store and confirmed our guides were the correct people based on their license plate. Our guides were Ian and Patsy. They were extremely friendly and welcoming and instantly put us at ease. They were very personable, told many funny jokes, and were EXTREMELY knowledgeable on everything from the cigar making process, the rum making process, the history of Costa Rica, and even the wildlife. Anything you wanted to know, they knew it in great detail. You can tell they genuinely like people and love where they live. We started this tour expecting a generic cut and dry "lets rush them around and get the next people in" type situation, but we visited for hours over cigars and rum, and even had lunch together. After everything was said and done, we left the experience feeling as though not only that we learned a lot but that we genuinely made friends. Also... just buy the rum bottle before you get there. Because you're going to buy it anyway, haha!
