Nice Tour of Local Towns
It was a great tour. We had a chance to visit a mcacaema farm and drove around local towns. We then had a detailed demonstration on the production of cocoa, but to be clear, cacoa is not grown in this region. So that part was a little weird. If you go understanding that you are not going to a cacoa plantation/farm then you are fine. The guides were all great!
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed visiting the macadamia farm, exploring the local towns, and learning about the cocoa production process. We also truly appreciate your clarification regarding cocoa not being grown in this region. We’ll make sure to communicate this more clearly so future guests know that the experience focuses on the cocoa production process and transformation, rather than a cocoa plantation visit. We’re especially happy to hear that you enjoyed our guides! We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Thank you for choosing Direct Adventure Guatemala, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! 🇬🇹🌿🏍️

Amazing tour de pueblos .Highly recommend.
Saúl was an outstanding guide in Antigua Guatemala. We did a buggy tour through the surrounding towns, and he made the whole experience engaging and smooth. He’s very knowledgeable, explains the culture and history of each place in a way that actually keeps you interested, and makes you feel taken care of the entire time. My favorite part was the chocolate stop, and I really appreciated learning about the unique culture of each town. Highly recommend Saúl if you want a meaningful and fun tour.

Awesome experience!
Paulo took us to an awesome spot and we hung out with the most fun cacao workshop host. The private tasting was so informative and was a fun time. Highly recommend this experience, just make sure to bring sunglasses because some of the roads get dusty.

More than a private chocolate tasting
We had an amazing time on this tour, which included an ATV ride through the countryside surrounding Antigua. We started by visiting a local macadamia nut farm, where we learned about their sustainable practices and community development efforts related to nut cultivation. The tour was comprehensive, and the grounds were beautiful. Afterward, we took the ATVs to a chocolate demonstration. Although it wasn't a farm or a production facility, we gained insight into historic chocolate production techniques and enjoyed a private tasting. Our guide, Pablo, was fantastic—punctual, helpful, and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring the local villages and their culture.
