I would not recommend this tour while the highways are under major construction. This half day tour took 7 1/2 hours. We were picked up at our hotel on time at 8:25 but did not arrive at the hacienda until 11:15. The tour was over by 13:15 but we did not get back to the hotel until 15:50 so 5 1/2 hours of driving for a 2 hour tour. The driver Carlos did his best but was following trucks and buses belching exhaust - he spoke only Spanish. The tour was interesting. Juan our guide was knowledgeable and spoke English well but this is not a coffee plantation - it is an event space with coffee plants and gardens - they even have a chapel and guest suites. Not what we expected.
