Coffee Tour Review – 10/10, Highly Recommend! ¡Pura Vida!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this coffee tour. From the start, the tour guide picked us up right from our cruise ship in one of the nicest vans I've ever ridden in—extremely comfortable and clean. The drive through the Costa Rican countryside was beautiful, and our guide made it even better with his clear, engaging, and knowledgeable commentary. He spoke the entire ride, sharing fascinating insights about Costa Rica in a way that was easy to follow and very enjoyable.

Upon arrival, the instructions for the tour were simple and easy to understand. Our on-site guide, a young woman who spoke excellent English, was fun, personable, and well-informed. She made learning about the coffee and chocolate production processes very enjoyable.

While I would have loved a bit more hands-on experience, the tour still delivers a lot of value for the price. I recommend having a few questions ready—it’s clear the guides are passionate and ready to share even more if you ask!

The tour finishes with a visit to a beautiful artisan furniture store. The bathrooms there were clean and well-maintained, and the adjoining gift shop was absolutely amazing. The variety of handcrafted goods was endless—seriously, take my money! It was also nice to have a place to sit, relax, and enjoy some light refreshments.

A special mention to our bus driver as well—he was excellent, and I felt completely safe the entire trip.

Overall, this tour was a pleasure from start to finish. If you’re considering it, don't hesitate. I highly recommend it—10 out of 10! ¡Pura Vida!

We loved this place even after we started off on the wrong foot (completely our fault). Because of miscommunication between my husband and I, we parked in the city and then began walking to the coffee tour. Do not do this! They have plenty of parking. Anyway, after walking up and down a mountain, we arrived at the charming coffee plantation and had time for a beer which we very much needed before our tour time. BTW, Google gives you the impression that there are tours every hour. There aren't. Contact them ahead via Facebook for info. They tipped us off to the fact that there were going to be crowds in the morning, so we did the 1:30 tour with just two other people. Our guide Ronny walked us around the plantation and through the coffee growing and processing steps. He was well informed and pleasant with outstanding English. IMHO it's a bit pricey at $23 per person, but you're supporting a local coop,...

We visited the plantation and were so pleased by the tour given to us by Ronny. We learned about the planting, the care, the harvesting and then the production of the coffee. There is a house where you visit and see how Costa Ricans used to live and there you learn how to make the best cup of fresh coffee. Some of the processes you learn show why there is a huge difference between very acidic "burned tasting" coffee and coffee which has a fantastic smooth taste and a truly wonderful aroma. The views are amazing....the mountains, the coffee trees, the flowers...everything is just beautiful. What we really loved was that this is a cooperative farm and many people reap the benefits of being a part of the farm and its production. Thank you to our guide and hosts...it was a really really wonderful time and experience. I would highly recommend...
