The Plano tour was one of the highlights of our visit to all of Panama ???????? Being a fan of specialty coffee, it was really educational and informative, and gave me an appreciation for all the work that goes into creating some of the best coffee in the world. Would highlight recommend the tour to anyone visiting Boquete.

This has hands down been our favorite coffee tour! It ended up being about a 3hr tour but we were absolutely immersed in everything coffee! Our guide was insanely knowledgeable, from the history of coffee to the history of the Elida farm and their coffee processing. We walked through the whole property which was amazingly gorgeous then we walked through every building and learned about how they dried, fermented, roasted and packaged their own coffee! We also learned they they’ve won the award for best coffee internationally for their geisha beans! At the end we had a really informative cupping where we learned the scent, aroma and tasting of all their different beans and were so lucky to have met the owner! They also sold tea which was insanely delicious. Overall this tour and farm was incredibly impressive and cannot recommend enough coming for this tour!

Fantastic experience on the Torre. Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, open to questions and conversation as we explored. We even found out some of our local coffee shops in Portland OR get their beans from here which is awesome! I recommend this to any coffee or history lovers!!

Breathtaking property and unbelievably knowledgeable guide. Did the tour followed by cupping. Pleasant surprise was that we had the guide all to ourselves. If you really want to experience how high-end coffee is produced tree-to-cup, it’s definitely worth the extra few dollars compared to other estates.

We had a great tour through the coffee plantation telling all the history of the company and explaining the production process from plant to table and closing with a tasting of the different types of coffee including the Geisha one which they have the most expensive one so far at $6,000 / lb.

Exceptional visit not to be missed. There is probably no better way to immerse yourself in the world of coffee. A visit rich in experiences, well thought out, between the plantations, the production stages and the tasting. Our guide was fascinating and had exceptional knowledge on all topics related to coffee. To recommend without hesitation.

An unforgettable experience for any coffee lover! I had the pleasure of taking a private tour at Finca Elida, and it truly exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Orlando, is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also clearly passionate about coffee. He walked us through the entire journey — from the history of the farm to the harvest, processing, drying, and finally, an amazing tasting session. His explanations were clear, engaging, and full of insight. I learned so much and gained a whole new appreciation for specialty coffee. The setting is beautiful, the coffee is world-class, and the experience was absolutely enchanting. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Boquete — don’t miss this tour!

La Torre Tour is by far THE BEST tour in town if you want to learn about coffee. Covers everything, from history, processing, cupping and more! Our tour guides Eliseo and Florentino were super professional, exceptional and friendly! 100% recommended!
