This was easily one of our best experiences in Costa Rica. The coffee tour is so informative - history of coffee, process, extraction, cooking class. My kids were engaged for several hours. Tio Leo is so affable and knowledgeable. A must attraction if in the area. Only regret, not purchasing more coffee to take back with us.
Interesting and informative tour

Fantastic tour. Tio Leo and family are fin, entertaining and very generous. They were super sweet with our kids and had special treats for them. The tour itself is long and very interesting. We cook empenadas (recipe included!), we grind chocolate, we make sugar cane juice, we taste coffee and we walk around the plantation to get coffee beans and différent fruits. I suggest you take the afternoon tour as it lasted one hour longer.
Great tour and experience

Amazing experience! Leo and his family are so cute and the coffee is good. Interesting experience, best empanadas ever! I'd highly recommend taking some time to hang out and sip some coffee and chocolate
Cheaper to book with the farm

The tour was authentic and Tio Leo provided a lot of information about coffee, history, and costa Rican culture. He has a shop that you can buy souvenirs. It would be helpful if they sold bug spray. I didn’t realize we would be walking through his farm, picking coffee berries and learning about all of the trees and herbs that he grows on his farm. He was friendly, it was interactive, and an enjoyable experience in the rain. The mosquitos are not so fun- so wear appropriate clothing.
Was beyond our expectations!

What an amazing surprise. We didn't really know what to expect but our visit to Tio Leo Coffee was way beyond those expectations! Everyone was generous with their time, their knowledge, and their stories. I would highly recommend stopping in and give yourself plenty of time as the tour is best savored, not rushed!

It was such a special treat to be the only couple on the Tio Leo tour. It was a full afternoon of education, humor and good tastes. Beyond coffee, we enjoyed plantains and empanadas, plus chocolate and sugar cane drinks. The coffee scrub was a remarkable treat. What a fun, fun day which we highly recommend!!

This was my second time taking the Tio Leo coffee tour, and it was just as wonderful as the first! Each visit feels like a mix of learning, tasting, and experiencing Costa Rican culture in such a genuine way. Leo is such a knowledgeable guide—he brings the history of his farm, coffee, cacao, and sugar cane to life with stories and demonstrations. We even got to grind cacao beans ourselves, press sugar cane, and learn a bit about natural healing practices, which gave the tour such a unique touch. Another highlight was Cindy, who makes soaps, skin creams, and other natural products. She is absolutely delightful! She was kind enough to invite me into her “lab” and even made a body lotion on the spot for me. I’ve bought her products on both of my visits because they’re truly high-quality, all-natural, and amazing for the skin. If you’re looking for an authentic Costa Rican experience that combines history, culture, food, and incredible hospitality, this tour is a must. I’ll happily come back a third time! BOOK THE TOUR! You will NOT regret it.
