Apa our guide was wildly... - Apa our guide was wildly engaging and made for an educational and fun tour. The tour was well organized. We learned about every aspect from seed/sprout to roasted and packaged. Apa took many questions and was happy to share his wealth of knowledge. The lunch was delicious. I would do it all again.

Great experience with Luis - We had a wonderful experience at the Britt coffee plantation tour. Our tour guide Luis was knowledgeable and very friendly. He made it interesting to learn about coffee and dispelled some misinformation .
He shed new light into how coffee was grown and how the inter actions of weather, soil, environment and luck go to obtain a great product !

A very pleasant visit. - The place is very cozy and nice. The tour is very pleasant and with very good information, with the opportunity to taste various types of coffee. Our tour included lunch, pretty good too.
They have the store with very good assortment of coffee and gifts.
The cafe offers drinks, meals and chocolates, with a beautiful presentation.
Be sure to visit the place with time and enjoy the estate and its surroundings, we loved the area with the butterflies.

Must see tour if you're in San Jose. - The coffee tour was pretty cool. I went with a bunch of people from around here, and the guides were nice enough to do the tour in both English and Spanish. The only downside was that it started an hour later than what TripAdvisor said, and they didn't provide transportation like they said they would. But besides that, the tour itself was really fun.

Good tour! Bad transportation. - Coffee tour was great! But the transportation provided by the tour was not reliable. The transportation arrived an hour after the scheduled pickup time. I had to call to verify if they were even still coming because we were not informed they were running late.
