Coffee and horses - Learned a lot about local coffee growing and brewing. Got to try the tea and the coffee. Lunch was delicious. Also opted for the horse riding which I was nervous about because of the pitch of the climb but was a great experience

Amazing experience - Our driver Guillermo is the man. Very knowledgeable! Guillermo gave us tips where to visit, the history of Medellin. We learned so much about coffee from our tour guide Isabel. Isabel is truly the best of the best! She so passionate and goes in detail making of coffee. We opted for horseback riding. The two ladies and gentlemen very experienced in guiding horses. We had an amazing time and will treasure our experience for ever!

Amazing - I had a great time during this tour my guide Lorena was amazing. everyone in the farm were so nice. I learned a lot about coffee if you love coffee I highly recommend this tour, they take the time to explain the full process, is a whole experience where you can walk around the farm, try coffee and a local drink. take beautiful pictures and videos. they provide lunch (delicious) they also gave us a gift (small bag of coffee) and they have a store there where you can buy coffee and the most important thing they accept credit cards and they offer worldwide shipping. I also rode a horse for the first time ever, there was a guy with me at all times and I feel safe . when I come back again to Medellin of course I will do this tour again.
Español:
Mi guía Lorena fue increíble. Todos en la finca fueron muy amables. Aprendí mucho sobre el café. Si te gusta, te recomiendo ampliamente este tour. Se toman el tiempo de explicar todo el proceso. Es una experiencia completa donde puedes recorrer la finca, probar café y una bebida local. Tomar fotos y videos hermosos. Ofrecen almuerzo (delicioso), nos dieron un regalo (una bolsita de café) y tienen una tienda donde puedes comprar café. Lo más importante es que aceptan tarjetas de crédito y ofrecen envíos a todo el mundo. También monté a caballo por primera vez; había un acompañante conmigo en todo momento y me sentí segura. Cuando regrese a Medellín, por supuesto, volveré a hacer este tour.

Real Coffee Comes from Colombia! - I had a great time. We learned so much about coffee and how it is made on a Colombian farm. Our tour guide was named David I think. He had braces. He was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. I was picked up at my hotel and taken to the farm. It is about 40 minutes away. When you get there, they go over the traditional clothing and then you get your own to go pick beans. We tried a drink made of the shell or muselin. It was cold. We also tried the muselin alone. Our guide was great. He knew everything about coffee. He took us up about 7 levels to pick beans and then we put them in the machine to separate the beans from shell. We saw how they sundried the beans and were offered candies. After picking we were offered coffees to taste and smell. They also served lunch. It was traditional. If you are picky, take a lunch. I def recommend taking water. After lunch we rode the horses and mules. They are very broke and gentle. The climb up and down the mountain is a little intimidating, but there is a guide with you the entire time and he takes photos. It was a good experience especially for the price. They sell souvenirs as well. And take you back to your hotel or where ever you need. Great Experience. You must do it once in your life.

Glorious experience. Must do!!!! - So absolutely engaging, fun and educational. To know about coffee allows you to experience coffee at a new level. I learned so much. The finca and the crew were all remarkable and so giving. I am vegan and they accommodated me. Their coffee tea is to die for. An absolute hit with my adult kids. We topped it off with the horse back riding into the amazing hills. Must do to feel the vibe of this glorious country.

Coffee School - Our driver was excellent, but the coffee experience was just ok. We spent a lot of time in “coffee class,” listening to a very long lecture on coffee, parts of which were very hard to follow and confusing. I think it would have been more enjoyable and fun if the experience was more interactive and perhaps in smaller groups.
