Don’t have anything to say except UNACCEPTABLE customer service! 8am pickup doesn’t mean 9:40!!!!
Was told that the tour pickup at reservation was 8:00. Got a text saying the pickup was going to be 9:40. This is unacceptable! People who are visiting plan their days around the initial times that are stated, not what you tell us. Absolutely horrible communication!!! Requested my refund and still waiting for decision! Never again will this website be used!
Response from the operator: Hello Jackie, sorry for this inconvinience, we have several shifts from 8 am to 2 pm, remember we sent you the 10:00 am shift like 15 days before of date's tour to checked it if was ok for you, since this is the most preferible shift for all our clients, but we did not receive any answer from you until a day before of the tour we told you that we can change it to 8 am but you told us that you already booked another tour. But sorry for the inconvinience again

Take Home the Orange Chocolate
This was a fun morning excursion. We were picked up at our hotel and bussed to the Don Juan plantation. There, we learned about how coffee is produced and the process for making chocolate. The tour was very informative and the people were great. We even go a photo op with Don Juan, himself. The souvenir shop is full of great gift ideas to take home, but the dark orange chocolate was my favorite. Unfortunately, none of the chocolate made it back home since it was so good to eat in the evenings with a cup of tea.

Interactive, informative tour
The tour is very interactive. You help create a drink from cocoa beans, you get sugar water out of sugar cane, you help pick coffee beans. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Monteverde.
How much does Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena cost?
+
Prices start at $81 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Monteverde usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena 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 Monteverde is not rushed.
Is Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Monteverde, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena?
+
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 Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena 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 Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena?
+
Around 2 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 Monteverde 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 Monteverde and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena 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 Monteverde 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 Monteverde?
+
On Outty we rank every Monteverde experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Original Canopy Tour Monteverde, Zipline, Monteverde Cloud Forest Guided Tour with Expert Naturalist, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Tour (Regular). 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 Monteverde?
+
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 Monteverde?
+
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.
What is included in Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena?
+

Does Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Monteverde. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Coffee and Chocolate Walking and Sightseeing Tour at Monteverde Santa Elena offered in?
+
