Highly Recommend - My friend and I really enjoyed this tour! I don't even drink coffee and I thoroughly had a great time learning about the different processes and trying all the different treats. Ask for Samuel if possible, he really kept the energy up and kept us entertained! We never felt bored even though it was a lot for information. The horse riding was also a lot of fun. As it was our first time riding, the uphill path as a bit scary for us but we felt safe knowing that the trainers were walking along with us the whole time. We would've liked to begin on flat terrain but that is a small detail. Another small detail would be to improve the trainers picture taking skills, he offered many photos but unfortunately none are very good. I would highly recommend this tour! The finca was beautiful, everyone was so kind, and it definitely left a positive mark on our Medellin trip.

Fun time Horseback riding with friends - We had such a great time! The experience as a whole was incredibly educational and so fun! Renee our driver was super friendly and Samuel our tour guide was super interactive with the group. The lunch we were given was delicious and so was the coffee! The horses were really tame too! Overall I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin!

Amazing guided tour, would 100% recommend - 100% recommend me and my sister had an amazing time, from the beginning being driven to the place to the very end of the tour, our tour guide Lorena was super lovely and welcoming and super funny, very informative and always made sure we was taken care of. I would definitely recommend if not return again myself with friends and/or family.
The other members of staff I don’t remember all their names were also super friendly and made the experience worthwhile, really fun experience, they teach you a ton about where coffee comes from, how to taste it, how to differentiate good coffee and the horse ride was also very fun.
thank you to all of you guys 👏

Arriera experience - Very nice experience, picked up and taken to the hotel by Don Jesus, very punctual on both tours, a well prepared guide, Laura, who gave the talk in impeccable English, typical lunch and unforgettable riding.
We learned everything about coffee, its history and cultivation, the importance of the Paisa farm culture and why we should be proud of this product internationally.
Must-see plan!

Educational - If you don't know much about coffee, I would suggest you take this tour. I enjoyed the horse ride a lot. The driver is very kind and respectful. He even videotaped my horse ride.

Amazing Experience :) - We had a truly amazing and informative trip :)
The company whatsapp'ed us before to confirm pick up details, we were connected to our driver via whatsapp which helped with smooth pick up from the park. (we arrived early just to be safe).
We met other travellers on the car ride which was very pleasant and the time flew out and were at the coffee farm.
Everyone at the coffer farm were super friendly and spoke enough english that it was a enjoyable experience :)
We leant so much about coffee from planting (we got to plant too) to brewing and sipping. We sampled everything! fruit juice, tea and of course COFFEE!
Warning, there is a little bit of a hike on the farm as you pick your coffee beans but the guide will help you if you are a clumsy hiker like me. Thankfully i work my hiking shoes with good grip and we had good weather.
We purchased coffee sangria at the shop which was amazing :) You can purchase there products to take with you also. We were given a poncho, coffee and coffee bean chocolates to take away as part of the tour.
We are vegetarians and the lunch was great! however we couldn't finish it since we were full from all the tastings.
We ended the tour with horse back riding through the farm and town which was just lovely <3
My only recommendation for the tour is that the ride back from the farm to Medellin should be airconditioned as it was very HOT.

Positive: horse ride, my... - Positive: horse ride, my driver from Medelin to the farm Luiz was Fantastic!!, very generous gift from the farm, lunch was also very good. I Realy liked to keep the puncho.
Issues: the guide: speak too fast, don’t leave guest interacting between each other and keep interrupting discussions, doesn’t master the English language which lead to multiple missunderstandings, this gentleman would benefit to be mentored in order to become more proficient in his job. Lastly, Once at the farm, I had to wait an other 30 minutes before starting the tour. Logistically speaking, it could have been better executed.

Creepy Driver-Be Careful - I want to be clear that the tour at the coffee farm itself was wonderful. Lorena, our guide, was very well informed on the coffee making process and was kind and funny. The part I am specifically rating low is the driver, Rene, who was hired to take us two and from the coffee farm. He was meant to take us all the way back to the hotel and instead, halfway back, insisted that his car was making funny sounds and needed to take me and my girlfriend back to his house so that he could 'switch cars.' There were no signs of his car having a problem, it was not making any noises, and no lights were turned on on his dashboard. It was creepy, unprofessional, and his insistence was angering. We demanded he drop us off at the nearest metro stop and he finally agreed. Rene was a huge thorn in our side and made us feel deeply unsafe and disrespected. He has no business offering rides for respectable businesses doing their job and I think his employment should be reconsidered.
