Coffee Tour and horseback riding - The coffee tour and horseback riding was amazing. We got some much history and information about coffee. We had so much fun picking the coffee fruit. The lunch they provided was delicious. After we got a free bag of coffee. After we got to ride horses. That was such a fun experience. All the staff was so friendly and kind.

Fantastic tour and Crew! - This tour was fantastic. Thank you for showing us your way of making coffee. 🙏 You could feel this fantastic crew’s passion for what they do and so much knowledge. Davido was an amazing host for our tour. He has a wealth of knowledge on the history and has a great sense of humor when explaining how coffee has come to be. I definitely recommend 👌🏽.

An authentic and fantastic experience! - Beautiful tour. This coffee farm is gorgeous, in the hills just outside Medellín. Crazy nature. They tell you the whole history of coffee and its importance for Colombia, a lot of very interesting things. You go to pick the coffee berries, you see the different processing phases, you understand how to evaluate their quality, you taste an excellent organic coffee produced here, you have lunch with the typical dish... Everything is beautiful! Plus the horseback ride around the plantation... something you absolutely must do!!! Highly recommended!!

Colorful Colombian Coffee - Awesome tour. Very informative of the different types of coffee. One is able to be submerged into the culture. Interactive with picking the beans and the horseback riding was fun, exciting & great views

Coffee College - The educational value of this trip is massive. We learned so much about the coffee bean itself, its history, and the process of turning it into the delicious drink enjoyed worldwide and how to prepare it accordingly. The staff is outstanding at welcoming everyone and keeping everyone entertained along the way. I could not recommend this experience enough!

Good experience and educational if one is serious about coffee - I've learnt something even more about coffee and what is considered to be a good coffee and what is considered a bad coffee. In my humble opinions, I still think that coffee we are drinking in Europe is a good coffee. But then what do I know 😀. Still it was very educational tour and now I know a lot more about coffee. The horse ride at the end of the tour was really fun.

Very long and very little coffee - This is hard to write because everyone there was so lovely, really nice kind lovely people. But it was so long. Could be 2 hours shorter. We sat for about 90 minutes on concrete being talked to. The info was great and interesting but far too much and too long. Then people dressed up and had fun. Then we did some coffee picking which was the best part but it was all rushed. Then we sat somewhere else and were talked to again for about 90 minutes .. it was so hot.. none of us could concentrate… we just wanted to taste a few coffees and learn the basics but we had one small espresso and small espresso size tea. The mules were very sweet and the guides were so kind and helpful but it was such a random mule ride.. up through the coffee farm and round to the main road and along the highway. Wasn’t sure of the purpose, wasn’t very scenic or what I pictured at all. Not related to the coffee farm.. again everyone was so nice so helpful such very nice people but it was my least favourite day in my 7 weeks in Colombia. I love to learn but the practical stuff was much more interesting and we really wanted to taste a few more coffees. In the intense heat it was too difficult to take in all the information.

Too much money for the experience…. - Our car broke down on the way to the tour site. We missed about 10-15 of the beginning of the tour. Horse back riding was average. Didn’t like part of the trail was next to a highway. Thought it was a little unsafe.
