From bean to espresso - It was a fun and varied tour. Vick has a lot of knowledge and could answer all our questions smoothly. We got a bit smarter and enjoyed the coffee at the end! You can appreciate it even more if you know what work has gone before;) Recommended!

Amazing learning opportunity! - Vick was super great in giving a super informative and fun tour of San Juan and the entire coffee process! He went in depth from Guatemalas history as well as the coffee process from planting to roasting. We especially loved learning about the growing process and how the local culture plays a role in every step.

Coffee tour - amazing ! Great tour guide! - Vic was an amazing tour guide. Very gentle energy to him and he makes you feel very comfortable. We’re Canadian tourists and the experience we had with Vic let us see so much more of Guatemala - things off the beaten path that we would never go see on our own! We did the coffee tour and it was so interesting and informative to see the entire process of coffee plantation. He even added in a tour to see the local weavers. All in all, 10/10.

Amazing, comprehensive tour - This was by far one of the best coffee tours I’ve ever done. Victor was a wonderful tour guide. He picked us up from San Marcos and brought us to San Juan. He is an expert at the history, cultivation and production of coffee. The tour also included a lot of history and culture of San Juan which we really appreciated. I could not recommend this tour enough.
