5.00We had a wonderful time with our guide Arturo who is knowledgeable, professional and fun. Learning the intricacies of coffee production and "cupping" was really an eye-opener, and we highly recommend this tour and Arturo as an expert in all things coffee!

5.00I enjoyed this coffee tour from beginning to end. The whole experience was pleasant and the tour guide extremely knowledgeable and passionate about coffee and the process of making it. The booking was easy and when my friends and I got there, we contacted the tour guide immediately to make arrangements. We were there on time and so was he. The place is up on a mountain with beautiful landscapes. Would definately recommend.
