Thank you Pablo for the tour. It was an awesome experience and to know that it was for a good cause just made it better.
I had a fabulous time with Diego. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and fun. I learned a lot on this excursion. I highly recommend it.
I had a great experience with the CA travelers team. One of the person travelling with us couldn’t attend the tour for medical reasons and they were very accommodating even if it was a last minute emergency. Thank you so much. The guide was so knowledgeable, the coffee process was explained and was so interesting all along the bike ride through the coffee plantation. We also got the details for the cacao process. We then continue our bike ride to go and try some local food and drinks. Overall a great experience.
Hairy bike ride thru city,but coffee plantation was awesome. Diego was very informative and patient with us.
Very interesting and fun and good guide
Great. Experience with Diego. Very pleasant; it is definitely worth it. I recommend doing it when you visit Antigua.
Guided by Diego: It was not just a CAFECICLETUDO ride. From the bean to the cup! I loved visiting the LA AZOTEA farm; I learned a lot about what happens before enjoying a good cup of specialty coffee (with tasting included). We left the tourist area to meet small local producers, we tasted sweets and fermented drinks. The treatment from the locals was very authentic and warm. I highlight Diego/agency for emphasizing support for the local community and showcasing its culture. 10 out of 10.
Diego is a great knowledgeable tour guide, he guided us throughout Antigua and introduced us to the history of Guatemala alongside the coffee and food culture!
Diego was an amazing tour guide. He learned us so much about the production and history of coffee. Also he showed us some other hotspots in Antiqua and surroundings. A really nice extra is that he made photos and videos and was sharing them after the tour. Thank you Diego!
Tour was excellent! Learned a lot about coffee and the culture including the great work the company is doing with the local school.
