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

5.00Victor was amazing and super knowledgeable of every step of the coffee growing, harvesting and roasting process. The coffee tasting experience also included the opportunity to harvest and peel the beans for a truely immersive experience. The experts at the chocolate and textile facilities/stores were just as amazing and they really enjoy showing off their crafts to visitors. If you want to experience true Guatemalan agricultural and artisanal methods this tour is a must do!
