Why Book the Private Hobbitenango Tour
This is the only fully private, fully flexible day in our line-up. You can reorder the stops to suit you and take your time at each one — no fixed schedule, no shared van. It combines two very different Antigua highlights: Hobbitenango, a quirky mountain village famous for its giant's hand photo spot and hobbit-style houses, and Finca La Azotea, one of the area's most historic coffee farms.
With a small sample of reviews but a perfect 5.0-star rating, early guests praise the personal touch — one called it a "wonderful tour" and singled out the guide's photography skills, handy given how photogenic Hobbitenango is. Because it's private, it's especially good for families and groups who want to set their own pace.

Important Things to Know Before You Go
This tour is guided in Spanish, so it's best if someone in your group speaks some Spanish or you're comfortable with a relaxed, photo-led day. Hobbitenango sits high in the mountains and can be cooler and windier than Antigua, so bring a layer, and wear shoes suited to uneven ground at both the village and the farm.
Because it's private and flexible, tell your guide upfront what matters most to you so the day is built around it. If you'd prefer an English-guided group day with lunch included, the coffee and culture full-day tour is the better match.

What Guests Say About the Private Tour
Wonderful tour. Stephane is a very nice, sweet guide with excellent photography skills — perfect for all the photo spots at Hobbitenango.
Loved having the day to ourselves at our own pace. Hobbitenango was so much fun and the coffee tour at the farm was a lovely contrast. A great private day out from Antigua.
Being able to reorder the stops and take our time made all the difference with kids. The viewpoint and the coffee tasting were the highlights.
