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

I drank way too much coffee on my Don Juan Coffee Plantation Tour and also brought a lot of coffee, cocoa, coffee candles and soaps, at the shop there for family and friends. We arrived for lunch and tour and started sampling the various coffees right away. It is a very open space with the soothing Monteverde breezes flowing through.... More

My husband and I are coffee LOVERS and decided to take this tour after the one we originally planned to take was closed, and the other option started their tours too late. As customary in Costa Rica, the tour company picked us up at our hotel, and brought us to the location. We were the only two tourists, and had... More

My wife (non-coffee drinker) and I (big fan!) took this tour while in Monteverde. We found it to be really informative and our tour guide was really enthusiastic about the tour. We learnt about all stages of coffee production and also we got to see a bit of about chocolate production too although that's a bit of a sideshow really... More

Disclaimer: I'm not a coffee drinker. That said, this experience was well worth the price of admission! It was neat to see the process of coffee from planting to harvesting to production and the samples were delicious. The chocolate tour was a delicious bonus although it was weird to see what a cocoa plant actually looks like. Had a great... More

I don't drink Coffee and my husband is the one who wanted to do this tour - but I loved it! Don Juan himself even came by to say hello to the group, which is a little thing but made you feel like they really appreciated you being there! Our tour guide was also great! Very knowledgeable and funny! Great... More

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,...
