Outstanding Day - My husband and I and two sisters had a wonderful day with Erwin Rivas, a phenomenal guide. He provided an engaging history about Antigua, Guatemala, coffee, weaving, agriculture—you name it! He answered all questions and was always interesting. We went to a coffee plantstion, a macadamian nut plantation and a weaving studio and museum of an outstanding weaver. A great tour! We highly recommend him and the company.

Interesting and unique - It is a fun and different type of tour. Learned alot of things and our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. I recommend waiting for this tour to buy your authentic Guatemala clothing souvenirs. There is a huge difference in the quality of the clothing at the Weaving Museum vs the markets/stores in Antigua. You can tell that it is truely handmade. Also both the coffee and macadamia farms are beautiful and very interesting. The coffee is delicious. Highly recommend this tour.

A must do tour in Antigua--coffee, macadamias and Guatemalan culture and history - We had an amazing day with Erwin! We learned so much about local coffee and macadamia production along with learning a great deal about Guatemalan history along the way. Plus we made an additional surprise stop at Carolina's textiles--a truly remarkable place where we were able to watch Mayan weaving and enjoy learning about their customs and be surrounded by the beautiful artistry of their work!! We will return. Highly recommend to do this tour when in Antigua!
