Traveler reviews
Highly recommend this coffee tour
Could not recommend this experience more! My guide Marlon was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely friendly and shared a ton of information with me on how to grow coffee beans, roast them, and then prepare coffee. The coffee they make here is fantastic and was probably the best I had during my stay in Colombia's coffee region. There are a lot of coffee farms that do tours but this one really sets itself a part from the others due to the quality of its guides and coffee.
Brilliant morning spent with Steven
Neither of us entirely knew what we were letting ourselves in for with this tour, but we felt being in the coffee triangle we had to do a coffee farm tour, and it was an absolutely brilliant way to spend a morning. Steven, our guide, was just fab. He was knowledgable and engaging with so many anecdotes and insights into the whole coffee process; from growing, picking, preparing, drying, roasting and lastly enjoying a nice cup of fresh coffee! After an initial lesson into all things coffee, we got dressed for the part of coffee farmer before we headed out into the plantation to pick some of the ripe coffee cherries. We then got to see first hand what happens to the cherries once they are picked, helping to prepare the beans for drying and then roasting. The roasting process was impressive, and then the intricate brewing process made us all a very yummy cuppa It was a great tour, with the added joy of some tasty homemade snacks when we came back in from the coffee fields! I would 100% recommend this tour.
Amazing coffee and amazing tour!
This tour was amazing!!! The kindness and knowledge that Gregorio has showed through every single part of the tour! We were welcomed and felt like family and the information was amazing!
Great experience!
We very much enjoyed our tour, friendly small family business. We were able to discover and understand all the subtleties of Colombian coffee! Great guide!
Solid a bit pricey for what it is
It was a very good tour. The guide explained everything well and the transportation was adequate. I think it’s pricey for the offering and less than an hour tour on the farm, but if convenience is a priority highly recommend.
