Guatemala · COFFEE TOURS
Antigua’s coffee grows on volcanic slopes over 1,500 metres, and the fincas around town pour the evidence. The 15 below run from quick roastery visits to ATV rides between plantations, each with prices, cupping details and how far out of town you go.

Bean-to-cup coffee tour near Antigua, Guatemala. Walk San Pedro Las Huertas, meet a farmer, roast and grind, then taste fresh coffee.
“We loved this very personal tour that gives you very indepth knowledge on all the steps of growing and making coffee on a small local farm. We felt it was a great experience to see the more rural aspects of life in Guatemala and were invited into their home to roast and grind the coffee ourselves over their stove. The coffee itself was some of the best and freshest artisanal coffee we've had. We bought some to take home and have already used it all and now I am really sad I can't find coffee that tastes as good as Filberto's.”

“The farm tour was amazing! The entire family left raving about how much they enjoyed it. We loved the interactive experience of making fresh tortillas and coffee, and also getting to sample avocado and honey from the farm. Everything was delicious! This family business is clearly a source of pride and joy for Michael who is excited to share his tips and experiences with farming. My kids were encouraged to run, swing, play, and make friends with his daughter Elisa, and their dog Bingo. After the tour Michael gave us choices to make drop off location more convenient, and even detoured to a playground for a bit so the kids…”
Small-group Ruta de las Flores day trip from San Salvador: markets, murals, churches, and a coffee farm, with AC transport for $99.
“I am so happy that I booked this tour. It far exceeded my expectations! The Ruta de las Flores consists of several villages, each with its own beauty and character. I can't even decide which was my favorite. For me, Jocelyn was the perfect guide. She gave pertinent information and was quick to answer any questions that the group threw at her. Otherwise, she allowed for time to discover each site, on our own. Sandra was a delight behind the wheel. I felt safe the entire journey. If you come to El Salvador, don't miss the villages of the western mountains. the best way to see a lot in one…”

Antigua coffee and macadamia private tour, 4 hours: Finca La Azotea and Valhalla with guide commentary, hotel pickup included.
“This was too expensive for what we got. Could have taken an Uber to coffee plantation which was interesting but the only thing the guide really added was walking thru the coffee plants. Macadamia farm a waste of time. Guide Roberto was Oman’s enthusiastic but his car was extremely old and dirty, a bare metal shell on interior roof and drivers side back seat. I’ve never been driven in such a decrepit car and almost didn’t even get in. I expect Viator to do a better job of vetting its drivers and their vehicles”

Our host walked us through the entire process of growing and producing coffee, and he was incredibly knowledgeable. Sharing so many details in a way that was both interesting and easy to understand.
