We loved it! From the day before, the communication was very good 📲 confirming and coordinating the last details, the pick-up was just a few minutes walking from the hotel 🏨 and they offered to pick us up at the hotel itself, so it started off very well, and the next day they picked us up super on time ⏰ there were 7 of us and the vehicle 🚗 was super comfortable, during the trip, the driver was talking and teaching us things about Colombia 🇨🇴 and we had a great time even along the way. Also, when we arrived at the horses 🐎 Alejandro was very attentive, taking photos 📸 and looking after us!, we had an excellent time!!! And the horses were very calm and easy to handle. I had Carmelo🐴 and he behaved very well 👍💞 The tour was very beautiful and lasted a long time, so we enjoyed it! Then we went to the coffee tour area ☕️ and the lunch they offered us was very delicious🍽️! And then the coffee experience began, and I do not like coffee; I went to please the group along with my husband, but I loved it! Because the flavors and aromas are very different, one learns a lot, and Alejandro explained it very simply so that we could learn. Even at the end, they gave us a coffee tea 🤯🤯🤯 that was spectacular! The farm is also beautiful and has spectacular views. We ended up buying coffee and tea to take with us! Everything was divine! 100% recommending ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ And honorable mention - Alejandro was very good at remembering names. It felt familiar. Thank you for the affection!
Amazing tour! Special thanks to our guide Erika!
We did both tours and it was amazing. Andres is the best and he makes you feel like family. He definitely goes rhe extra mile so that you have a good experience. My kids are 5 and 8 and it was their first time horse back riding. The horses were calm and we felt safe. The views were also breathtaking. Its a different side of Medellin. I loved that the coffee farm was 30 minutes away from where we stayed. It was educational and fun for the kids. They loved picking the coffee and even the limes. I learnt a lot about coffee as well and got two great bags of fruity coffee.
Yuly was a great tour guide. Awesome experience! Picked us up and dropped us off at hotel and was very knowledgeable about each tour we did. Would recommend to anyone looking to do a tour!
Sara was absolutely amazing; so knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming! She made us feel like family and kept us laughing the whole time. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great tour. Thank you so much, Sara; you’re incredible! 😍
We had Sara the whole day. Supergood english and so willing to talk about Colombia and the surrounding areas in general.
Wow. Thats all I can say! This experience was perfect… our tour guide was Sarah and she was amazing! She was both knowledgeable and PROUD of her country! We were able to learn so much about the area from her. But more than that, she took such good care of us, thinking of everything! The horseback riding had stunning views, and I was a little nervous at first because horses can be intimidating 🤣 but these were so calm and beautiful… Sarah was also WONDERFUL at capturing beautiful photos for us during each moment! And the coffee tour, what can I say… we felt like part of the family! Home cooked (and delicious) meals, then a big learning experience, I have a new appreciation for coffee and all the hard work that goes into it, as well as what I’ve been doing wrong my entire life when brewing it. We tried four different brewing methods and it was very hands on so you truly feel that you can replicate the experience at home! I only wish I could have purchased MORE of their delicious beans to bring home… next time I will bring an extra suitcase to check for the trip back!
The overall experience can be summarized by one word: Perfect! Andres picked us up in the morning to start the day with horseback riding. The horses were very gentle and extremely easy to ride. We strolled and trotted through the hills outside of Medellin for a memorable experience. Afterwards, we went to the Coffee Farm, where we had lunch and a in depth lesson on coffee brewing and making. I learned to appreciate coffee making even more after picking coffee beans and seeing the entire coffee making process from planting to roasting. Highly recommend to others!
The Coffee and Horses private tour was absolutely amazing. A definite highlight of the trip. We were picked up by our excellent tour guide Yuly and began the day with a tour on horseback through some beautiful terrain. Then we went to a coffee farm and saw the entire process of preparing world class coffee. We had a delicious lunch and were able to try a few different preparation methods for the coffee. Would definitely recommend! And Yuly is an excellent guide if you’re lucky enough to get her.
We had an amazing time on the trip!! Thanks so much to Andres for an awesome day. He was incredibly knowledgeable and a very nice guy to spend the day with. The horseback riding was so fun and scenic - and the coffee farm was such a unique experience and super cool. Would highly recommend.
