If you’re looking for a coffee tour that will deepen your knowledge and expose you to interact with local communities off-the-beaten-path, this is for you. The tours take place in the community of San Miguel Escobar in the outskirts of Antigua (20 or 30 minutes) where the coffee growers will lead you through their fields, explain the work behind cultivating coffee, walk you through each processing step from bean to brew, and finish the tour by joining you for a coffee in their home. Along the way, you’ll learn more than just the process behind coffee--you’ll have authentic and transparent conversations with small-scale producers to hear firsthand about their obstacles, triumphs, and goals as coffee growers and experience their persisting enthusiasm and dedication to the coffee industry.

Amazing and unique experience with a passionate and local coffee farmer!
Manuel was so friendly, informative, energetic, and passionate about growing and producing coffee. He and his wife welcomed us into their home with open arms and were eager to answer our many questions. This was a fantastic experience that we will always remember! Luis was a wonderful translator and was a great resource for clarity on the nuances of the whole process.

Fantastic!
Fantastic! The perfect combination of educational and intimate experience. Hearing about the details of the entire coffee making process from the actual farmer was eye opening for those of us who take our morning cup of coffee for granted. His daughter roasted and ground the coffee we then savored. Our English translator Angela was spot on as well as charming. Once in a lifetime don’t miss experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your thoughtful review about De La Gente's coffee farm tour in Antigua Guatemala! We're glad to hear that you had an eye-opening experience and enjoyed your visit!

Brilliant tour
We had an amazing tour with De La Gente. Our guide/ translator Angela and the coffee farmer Angel showed us the coffee plantation and explained the whole life cycle of the plants! There were only the two of us on the tour so we could ask lots of questions and even learned about Guatemalan culture and history as well. The coffee was delicious and we got to take two bags away. Cannot recommend enough!
Response from the operator: We're happy to hear that you had an immersive coffee tour experience with De La Gente! It's great that you communicated all of your questions with the producers and learned a lot about Guatemalan coffee and culture! Thank you for sharing about your experience with us

Why this scores 86
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.
How much does Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Antigua is not rushed.
Is Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 121 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers?
+
Around 42 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Antigua can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Antigua within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Antigua?
+
On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Antigua?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Antigua?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Snacks; Public transportation (bus, subway, cable car, etc.); and Tea and coffee. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
Shuttle pickup location: At La Ermita de Santa Lucía church located on the west side of Antigua at the corner of Calle del Espíritu Santo and Calzada Santa Lucia. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Antigua Coffee Tour by Local Producers?
