This was a winner! For reference- We had seniors and teens in our group- and a wide range of abilities to accommodate. This was a fantastic tour and very much worth the money. You see a lot and it is just gorgeous. In total you walk about a mile and the tour lasts about 3 hours. They provide umbrellas big enough for two and very nice walking sticks. The terrain is varied with steps, one brief incline, a few beautiful bridges. So if you have no someone with some mobility issues you way want to reconsider. You cannot bring on wheelchairs or walkers. You do sit for about 30 min half way through for the chocolate education/ tour. Also there is fruit tasting along the way. It rained hard halfway through but was not a big deal. Umbrella was perfect and there is so much cover from the vegetation it was not a problem. They have nice restrooms and provide bug spray. Book direct with them though! We booked w Viator and they over charged us by 30 per person. We didn’t even know that happened till the person checked us in at the farm told us, then said she was rebooking us direct so we could be issued a refund for the overcharge. That was so nice!
