A very simple tour with a high energy guide in Roberto. Victor our driver was courteous and drove very safe. Great local tour for a relaxing day
Roberto was an excellent tour guide for the Azotea plantation. He had a lot of knowledge and took his time explaining everything. Driving through the city he also explained a bit of history. He had a very energetic personality and was easy to talk to in English. We would book with him again.
The visits were well-organized and seamless. Both tour guides at the respective farms were clear and informative. The settings were beautiful.
Price and duration was right. It was not a stressing 4-hr adventure near Antigua Guatemala where we were staying. Tour guides at the farms were very knowledgeable. Our driver to the tour sites spoke minimal English, but was very polite and courteous.
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
Julio was our driver for our tour. He picked us up at our arranged meeting spot. He waited for us during our coffee tour. He made sure we enjoyed our tours. As we drove to the macadamia tour he showed and talked about the history of the original capital of Guatemala before the agua volcano flooded the town. He made sure to guide us to the correct locations at each tour. We enjoyed a delicious meal at the macadamia plantation. Julio then dropped us off at our hotel. Greatly appreciate the kindness and hospitality shown. Highly recommend this service.
Both the coffee and the macadamia farms were interesting tours. We were surprised how both items are harvested and prepared for the market. Roberto was an informative and entertaining guide. We learned lots about his country and he was able to answer all our questions about coffee and macadamia nuts. It was a fun morning and we recommend Roberto be your guide for this mini adventure.
It´s a nice tour within Antigua, don´t expect to see a huge coffee plantation you will learn about the coffee process since the tiny coffee plant to a good cup of coffee. The macadamia farm is interesting, 20 minutes from Antigua.
Our guide Roberto was great, he taught us a lot! He told us about the culture and the country, he had a sense of humor and a lightness in his storytelling. Roberto was undoubtedly the greatest asset of the trip! However, we liked the trip itself less, it was quite expensive for what we saw and experienced. We spent a lot of time visiting restaurants, shops, where we also had to leave money. We would have gladly devoted more time and attention to what was the main topic of the trip. They took part in workshops, listened about production, saw the production process, etc.
Thank you for your thoughtful and honest feedback! We're so glad to hear that Roberto made a strong impression — his knowledge, humor, and passion for sharing Guatemalan culture are what make him such a valued guide on our team. We also appreciate your input regarding the structure of the tour. Your suggestions help us improve the experience for future travelers by ensuring we maintain the right balance between cultural exploration and supporting local businesses. We’ll take your comments into account as we continue refining our tours. Thank you again for joining us and for helping us grow with your feedback! Best regards, MB Guatemaya Team
I’ve travelled to Antigua several times, but this was the first time for my friends. Our tour guide, Roberto, was very engaging and knowledgeable about the area. We toured a coffee plantation and a macadamia nut plantation. We learned a lot and enjoyed all of the beautiful trees, plants and birds as we learned. I’m glad that we booked this tour and highly recommend it!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your friends had a great experience with Roberto. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the coffee and macadamia nut plantations, as well as the beautiful surroundings. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so glad we could make your visit to Antigua even more memorable. We hope to welcome you back on another tour soon! Best regards, MB Guatemaya Team
