We found out about the El Toledo Coffee Tour when we stayed at B&B Atenas in November 2014, and we really enjoyed the very informative and educational visit. We had no idea how much work goes into producing the organic coffee. We met the Don Gerado family and also Lucy and Michelangelo who were volunteering at the farm - they were great at explaining everything for us! After the tour we had the chance to have a typical Costa Rican lunch in a family home. If you get the chance you must visit!

Our coffee tour was surprisingly unforgettable! It was one of the highlights of our whole trip! Very informative and eye opening to see how coffee is made and what it takes to run a sustainable farm. Everyone at Toledo was very friendly and accommodating. We also were able to sample delicious fresh fruit and coffee during the tour. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

This is one of the best experiences we had in Costa Rica. Gabriel and his extended family and volunteers welcome you to their small scale coffee farm where they practice permaculture and a range of traditional farming practices that we are now starting to learn are much better for our health, the environment and ultimately the economy. Truly educational but not preachy, vey genuine insights into the life of a local farmer. See the coffee production cycle from tree to cup and learn to taste the difference between blends....cry well done.If you have the chance, take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a tipico lunch for a small fee with Dona Cecilia, his aunt, at her home. She and her family are very gracious hosts and the green banana ceviche was amazing. Thanks again to everyone, including Gabriel, Don Geraldo, Patrick and Oswaldo, for a very memorable experience.

If you have the chance, you must do this tour. It is so enlightening to hear about the coffee industry and how labor intensive it is. Gabrielle and his family have struggled through changing their way of farming, and are now certified organic. The issues and controversy surrounding organic and fair trade coffee from a farmer's point of view,really makes you think. Gabrielle does a wonderful job of explaining his family's history and the current practices amongst farmers. This was one of the highlights of our trip. This family shares their life and home with you, with the goal of educating the participants. We were also served coffee by a professional Italian barista, Michelangelo, who described many factors influencing coffee's flavors. Very interesting!!He is volunteering for a couple of months at the farm. He and Gabrielle are benefiting from the shared knowledge.

Loved this tour. Very friendly people. Gabriel's (tour guide, farmer) viewpoints on organic farming were measured. There was no hard sell on the coffee. All in all a great way to spend a few hours. If you're on public transport you can catch the bus from Atenas to San Isidro. Thank you :)
