Simply said, Great. Rich (owner) is a passionate for coffee. It is so obvious he does these tours to share his passion, not as commerce. He takes all the time of the world to answer questions. The roasting experience is the cherry on the cake. A pity he doesn't offer espressos ;-) Ps: we went with our 2yr old. No... More

I loved my tour that was given by the owner Rich. Our group was only 5 people but mind you it was Semana Santa (busy Holy Week) I liked every aspect of our tour. Rich is warm and easygoing. He answered many of my weird gardening questions (about the types of fertilizer, organic methods etc) He gives you a frank... More

Rich was so knowable, I had no idea that it took so may steps to make coffee. Thanks Rich for being a great tour guide. We came away will such a better understanding of the process of coffee making. If you are going to take a coffee farm tour this is the one to take.

My friend Ron told me about this tour. He said it was an "absolute must" that I visit "Finca Dos Jefes". So, on our first full day in Boquette, I spent an afternoon on the farm with Ron and my wife. We tasted coffee, walked the beautiful grounds and even had the opportunity to roast our own beans. Pretty standard... More

This was without a doubt, one of the best surprises on our recent trip to Panama. What a great afternoon spent with Rich at his beautfiul finca. We learned so much about the making of coffee - I will never take a cup of it for granted again! Rich has an engaging personality and you can't help but be enthused... More

The Boquete Coffee tour was outstanding. Rich takes you on a tour of the farm, showing you how coffee is grown and then for the highlight, you get to see (and help) coffee roasted. Don't miss this tour when you are in Boquete.

I went to my second tour of the "Cafe Ruiz" coffee plantation tour (one yr. apart) and found that I had missed some things the first time around. The tour guide is amazing and so friendly. A veritable encyclopedia of information and for a man who is an indigenous native called the 'Nogobe', Lot's of wry humor and no question... More

My husband and I took this tour with our two young kids and everyone enjoyed it. Rich promptly met us at our hotel and then spend the next 3 hours showing us his farm and chatting with us. The kids swang in his hammock and climbed in the tree house, and the grown-ups sampled coffee and talked. Rich was informative,... More
