The tour was developed in an environment that stands out as one of the best in our culture and tradition; a tradition that has made this country one of progress and peace. The tour lasts for about 2 hours and it includes typical snacks and the option of an authentic home-made lunch. « less

My wife and I took the tour as part of a full day excursion, so I can't rate it on the individual cost as some have. But my wife and I truly loved our experience. Hopefully, you can request or will get Alex as your tour guide. He spoke great English, had a lot of knowledge to share and answered... More

Although this tour is a bit hokey and tries to cover a lot of ground, both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We learned a lot about coffee – from growing to picking to processing and we got a taste of Don Juan coffee when the tour was over. We also learned about cacao and got a taste of... More

It was an excellent tour! I learnt so much and it wasn't boring at all. Junior, the driver and tour guide, has a good sense of humour and explains everything so well. It's a reasonable price for the value. I even got to ride in the oxcart. This is definitely a must do tour when you are in the area!

I think this tour would have been better if they had just focused on coffee, rather than trying to discuss chocolate and sugar cane as well. It was would have flowed better if they had finished one topic, then moved on to each individual one, rather than jumping in between them. I enjoyed sampling the sugar cane juice, the chocolate,...

We really enjoyed the coffee tour, mostly thanks to Junior, our guide. The tour is really well done, interesting and eye opening about coffee and chocolate processing. But it's especially our guide that made this experience unforgettable.

I am a huge fan of coffee so when we were recently in Costa Rica we took this tour. The guide was great and learned a lot about the whole process for making coffee and chocolate. We got free samples of the chocolate and coffee at the end of the tour and it was delicious. We also got to see... More

We went there to see what it was like and compared it to the other finca down the road and this one was by far over exceeding my expectation. I didn't go on the tour, instead enjoyed a free cupping and sampler on their balcony with a free guide and looked out over the plantation. Tip: buy cheap 2$ coco... More

After driving on the bummpy road, the turn off for Don Juans place is welcome respite. Turned into a little gem - coffee plantation tour with Cocoa and sugar cane tour as well. You get to try cocoa as it is produced and see the process for it all. Bonus, a sloth in the tree on the property and Don... More

I loved this tour. I learned so much about the delicate process of coffee and I am so much more appreciative than I was before. And can I say "yum" to both the delectables but also the view!

Did tour as a bit short of something to do but really enjoyed it. Learnt about how coffee is made and where the different tastes come from, Also learnt about chocolate. Tour round gardens and a short very uncomfortable ride in a wagon pulled by ox. All part of the fun though! Highly recommend the tour. Not cheap but then... More
