Wonderful experience - Great tour! Victor is very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned about the whole process from planting, harvesting, processing, classifying, drying, and roasting. I thought I knew quite a bit about coffee but I realized I didnt know as much. We learned about the different types of coffee beans, how it started here in Guatemala, and learned about the cooperative here and their sustainability ways. . We had hands on experience with harvesting and peeling the harvest to reveal the beans. It was such a great learning experience. We also had a chocolate factory and textile tour. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Very knowledgeable and kind guide! - Vic was very knowledgeable about the coffee making process! He met us at our hotel in San Pedro and took us by boat and Tuktuk to a few different places. He also took us to a textile and chocolate tour! Only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 was because he was 30mins late.
