Best coffee tour! - Loved the coffee tour! Axel and Martha showed me the coffee plants as well as many other plants growing in the area. I learnt so much! I also got to try to make my own coffee from scratch, roasting and grinding and finally drinking it, it was delicious. And best thing is that this is a Guatemalan business, supporting the local community!

Excellent tour! - We had a wonderful time on our coffee tour! Axel was a wonderful guide. He was informative and very prepared with visual aides and all, providing information regarding the farm as well as the culture. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Filiberto and his family were excellent hosts. They were very welcoming and took us through coffee making from A to Z. I would highly recommend this tour!

The BEST Tour - The highlight of my trip to Guatemala! This was an amazing experience, we learned about the entire process of harvesting coffee from bean to cup hands-on. Axel was an amazing guide and spoke excellent english. He was able to answer all of my questions and was very knowledgeable. If you want to have an authentic experience this tour is it!

Amazing local experience! - It was an amazing experience! We walked through the coffee farm and learned about the process from a local farmer and learned about other plants along the way. We also learned about the culture of coffee. Afterwards we went to their home and watched as they made a fresh pot of coffee from start to finish. The family was so welcoming and provided coffee and some biscuits. We loved how local it felt and that the proceeds of the coffee we bought went directly to the farmer. Our guide walked us back to the meeting point and made sure we got into our taxi safely before leaving. Highly recommend!

A memorable coffee journey - I had a delightful and intellectual half-day tour with Axel and Marta a. We visited a coffee plantation at the foothills of Agua Volcano, where we learned about the cultivation of coffee beans. Afterwards, we went to Marta's home to experience the traditional coffee roasting process and enjoyed a pot of coffee that we roasted ourselves. The entire tour was very enjoyable, and Axel and Marta were incredibly warm and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it to travelers visiting Antigua!

Tremendous Experience, Would Recommend - I had a really tremendous experience. Both the farmer and guide/translator (Axel) were very informative and allowed me to understand in detail the coffee growing and processing process. Would highly recommend to all those interested in coffee and learning more about its influence on Guatemalan history/those looking for an experience in the Antigua area.

Fantastic coffee farm tour! - Delmy Santavi was a fantastic tour guide. Throughout the tour she not only interpreted for our coffee farmer, Cristobal, she also pointed cultural touch points that made the excursion more meaningful! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the farm to coffee pot experience for the small family farmers. It makes me appreciate my coffee that much more!

10/10 recommend for deep cultural learning - Honestly this was one of the coolest, most in depth and personal cultural experiences I’ve had! You meet your guide and you go on a small hike (it’s uphill so wear good shoes) to the farm. You get 1:1 time with the farmer to dig into all types of questions. You conclude the tour in his home, roasting coffee, sharing stories, and learning about his passion and dedication to quality. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour and if you’re looking for deep cultural immersion, this is it. Axel, thank you for your service and dedication to unique and special tourist experiences!!
