This is a canned elementary school level skit, designed to make visitors say they have been on a real working coffee plantation. If you think that its worth your airfare and time to visit Costa Rica, to see what Cafe Britt thinks its visitors should see about their staged coffee plantation, then by all means see the show.

Our group, of about 13 individuals, were in Costa Rica for various educational lectures. Part of our sechuled event was a visit to Cafe Britt. Personally, I found the presentation entertaining. The hosts used various humour and other methods of giving information about the history and process of making coffee in Costa Rica. At the end of the tour was... More

Did the Britt Coffee Tour and it was a lot of fun, the people are very carismatic and try to make the tour fun. What I did find was that it was not very authentic, it is more of a show than a cultural experience. There are other coffee tours (lots) in Costa Rica located in the rural areas that... More

This was the first tour we took during our two weeks in Costa Rica in late April. We opted for the basic tour with travel included. It was the perfect option for us as we had other commitments that afternoon. We were also hesitant to try driving so the pick-up option was great. We went on a Monday morning and... More

Spent several hours on a tour of the Britt coffee plantation. The two guides were great. It was very informative, fun, and educational. Free sampling of the coffee and chocolates at the end. More

This was a pretty good tour. The owners give you a tour of the place along with a theatrical look at how coffee is made and exported. They also give the audiance a chance to participate in tastings. At the end of the tour, you do end up at the gift shop but you can taste test all of their... More

I live in Costa Rica and when friends or family visit I take them to the Britt Coffee Tour. The tour takes guests through an area of coffee plants and professional actors make an informative presentation about coffee. The actors have fun and engage the guests in the conversation using humor. The actors presentation and then the indoor stage presentation... More
