5.00Such a great time! Perfect duration of tour! I learned a lot, but also it didn’t take all day and that is just what I needed. He showed us where the coffee started, in the farms, and took us step by step until we were drinking coffee at a cafe! I reached out even before the tour because I was traveling to San Juan from Pana and he responded promptly and answered all my questions.
Just book it!

5.00This tour was worth every penny! Victor and the chocolate/textile guides were super informative and led an excellent tour! We got to try product of each type and see hands on each process and learn about the history of the industries in each case, highly recommend!
Waste of time

3.00Our tour guide was very nice and friendly, but the tour seemed almost like a waste of time. It seemed like they were just there to sell us things. Despite what the tour states there is nothing actually included and everything costs a fee. For instance they advise that cofee is included but we had to pay. All in all you are better off exploring San Juan on your own than paying for this tour
Great tour
