4.00Vic was very knowledgeable about the coffee making process! He met us at our hotel in San Pedro and took us by boat and Tuktuk to a few different places. He also took us to a textile and chocolate tour! Only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 was because he was 30mins late.
Great tour! Picked and...

5.00Great tour! Victor is very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned about the whole process from planting, harvesting, processing, classifying, drying, and roasting. I thought I knew quite a bit about coffee but I realized I didnt know as much. We learned about the different types of coffee beans, how it started here in Guatemala, and learned about the cooperative here and their sustainability ways. . We had hands on experience with harvesting and peeling the harvest to reveal the beans. It was such a great learning experience. We also had a chocolate factory and textile tour. Overall, a wonderful experience.
I highly recommend this...
