Amazing Educational Tour - This tour is amazing! Very informational and the views are amazing. Travelers do need to be in some what of a good healthy shape. Very steep and slippery climbs and descends. Not recommended for elderly and definitely need to where the proper shoes.

A real coffee experience - An incredible visit to a coffee hacienda where guides take us hand in hand throughout the coffee process, where we learn first hand origin, tasting and identify a good coffee. The experience I recommend to everyone, they will leave very excited and satisfied with the tour

Overall a good tour.... - Overall a good tour. About 45 minute car ride outside of Medellin. A small coffee farm focused on tourism. Interesting and informative tour explaining the entire process, as well as some interesting products they make from the other parts of the coffee fruit. Biggest minus was that we were transported (4 visitors) in a very tiny and uncomfortable car with not enough room.

I do not recommend this tour company to anyone. - I would like to give this tour a 5 star rating due to the plantation tour. However, due to the transportation issues I would not recommend this tour company to anyone. I purchased the English speaking tour with transportation. The ticket said pick up was 9am from our hotel. No problem as we are always early. At 8am I started getting WhatsApp messages (in Spanish), again, no problem we were in the lobby having coffee. We met the driver in what I would consider the smallest beat up taxi I have ever seen. He spoke absolutely no English. The was already one person in the front seat. We leave and go to another hotel where one more person is crammed in with us. I’m thinking we are going to go to central transport place and get in a large tour bus. But NO, we drive 50 minutes to the plantation packed in like sardines with no air conditioning. On the drive back down in 85-90 degree heat I can assure you the ride was miserable. The driver also answered a text while driving down a winding mountain rode. Another lady who spoke Spanish told him to stop, nothing was more important than our safety.
As a flight attendant who reaches far, I can assure you I will absolutely NOT be recommending this company. It’s a shame because the plantation did a great job.
