Très bien !
MéLINDA BESSEAU: 25/04/2024
Nous avons pris la visite guidée et la dégustation. Ana notre guide parlait anglais français et espagnol. Elle nous a expliqué la culture de la banane avec beaucoup d’humour et de dynamisme . A la fin 8l y a une petite dégustation de bananes et produits à base de banane. Nous avons passé un bon moment en famille. Il faut compter 1h de visite + 30 min de dégustation. Il y a une petite boutique .See more

No se corresponde la visita
CLARA TORRES AREVALO: 09/05/2018
No hay visita guiada. Desde el sitio me dijeron que sólo se hacen visitas guiadas a partir de grupos de 10 personas, por lo que no cumplió mis expectativas ya que mi hijo es pequeño y no sabe leer carteles, lo que quería era que le explicaran todo el proceso. Desde el sitio nos lo explicaron y nos devolvieron la diferencia, pero por favor, modifíquenlo ya que la descripción de la excursión no se correspondeSee more

Tolle Erfahrung
GRUENLER OLIVER: 01/08/2017
Es war für uns ein sehr interessanter Blick hinter die Kulissen einer Bananenplantage! Auch wenn die gebuchte Führung leider nicht möglich war (Gelddifferenz haben wir sofort zurück erhalten) so waren wir mit der Selbstführung und den erläuternden Stationen sehr zufrieden, denn wir hatten am Ende die Möglichkeit, alle unsere Fragen beim Besitzer loszuwerden und bei der Verkostung noch mehr zu erfahren. Alles in allem eine tolle Erfahrung nur bitte verbessert die Ausschilderung und gebt auf den Vouchern auch die Adresse an - wir haben es nur durch die Hilfe eines Tankstellenmitarbeiters gefunden.See more
