Highly recommend this for a more personal tour. Estate manager gave tour in Rich's absence and he was great - very informative and personalized tour for our time constraints and interest. I learned so much about coffee and have new appreciation for art of making and drinking coffee. We roasted coffee and packaged it and got to take it with... More

This was a fantastic tour! Rich has an amazing farm and the passion and knowledge that he wants to share is amazing! Such such great value and when you go volunteer to help be the roasting assistant it's great fun! Must Go!!

We thoroughly enjoyed Carlos´tour of the coffee plantation in Boquete. The history of the area is fascinating and Carlos adds lots of extra information including the way the coffee is prepared but also about how the coffee plants grow and the work which Mr Ruiz does to keep the natural area as so much of Boquete is being sold to...

While staying at a hostel in Boquete we found about americans that meet every Tues. Went there and was talking about coffee plantation visit and a lady overheard us. She had a coffee plantation that she would take us to for a lot less money(we bought her lunch). It was a wonderful visit and it is up in the mountain... More

If you are travelling to Boquete do this tour. Rich picks you up, and takes you to his farm. He is very hands on with his guests. You will get to see the process from start to finish. When you leave you feel like you would like to operate your own coffee farm! I have done other coffee tours and... More

Rich has an amazing beautiful coffee farm the way it should be - sustainable and considerate to the locals. Sadly, this is not the case with all coffee. Rich does an excellent job at describing the world coffee epidemic, and how he is trying to make coffee ethically and sustainably. We are also Cal grads and instantly felt like close... More

Rich picked us up at our hostal in his own car. From the start we felt comfortable and Rich made us feel right at home. The tour was small, and ended with just my husband, myself, and Rich as he guided us through the process of roasting our own coffee beans. The tour took about three hours, and it was... More

This makes the listening for an hour very pleasant! he showed us around, were people are picking and drying... More

Finca Dos Jefes was hands down our favourite activity in Boquete. The farm is stunningly beautiful. The house-roasted Cafes de la Luna makes a mean cup of coffee. And host/owner Richard, shares fascinating insight into the world of independent coffee farming. On top of the tour, Rich picks you up and brings you back to your hotel or hostel, lets... More
