My tour guide was Anna. She was very professional, and knowledgeable. I learned so much about coffee I do not drink, but serve to the public. I get to return home with this wonderful information. Thanks for making it interesting.
Really such a great experience! Melissa, the tour guide, was incredible… and Somehow seeing how coffee is really made makes it taste better🤷🏼♀️ do the afternoon visit and spend some time browsing around the San Antonio park and station before rush hour!
It was better than l could have asked for. Appreciated the metro and the gondola ride and the tour of the neighborhood in Communa 8. Then the coffee picking and explanation by Rosa was nothing short of amazing. Thanks for the terrific day. Worth every penny.
We were a small group of 4 people. It felt personalized, and the explanations about places, processes, and stories were very good. It was a very connecting experience with history, and it felt very familiar.
Our guide Annie was amazing! Thanks for her intelligence and humor this experience was incredible! Medellin is incredible from that point and coffee farm and its hosts were very interesting 👍🏻
We had so much fun on this experince. Our guide Melisa was a dream. It felt more like we were spending time with an old friend than a tour guide. She was on time and made sure everyone was comfortable every step of the way. She was very knowledgeable, funny and over just a fun time. She kept us laughing and did an amazing job educating us on this history of the area and the coffee making process. The people at the coffee farm treated us with so much warmth it felt like being amongst family. I would highly recommend this tour. It is beautiful, well rounded and we ended up meeting some of the nicest people we have interacted with since coming to Medellin.
An amazing overall experience. Great guide, a well-rounded tour of the area before visiting the farm itself, and a super well-run few hours at the farm. Highly recommended!
Annie was incredible! She did such a great job explaining everything and was very knowledgeable on the history.
It is a well organized experience. Annie is very sweet. She does a great job translating from Spanish to English and she’s very easy to understand. She answered all my questions and wasn’t bothered at all. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer to pick the coffee beans and that the coffee wasn’t so hot. It was so hot you couldn’t drink it and then it’d be time to go. We spent 20mins picking coffee beans. That 20mins went by very quickly and wasn’t long enough. My group really enjoyed picking them. It was a great experience. I would recommend it!
Met up at a metro station and took the train up to the last stop. Walked the rest of the way to the coffee farm and the English guide walked us to the location and translated the explanations. We were able to pick our own coffee beans and watch the process explained about the steps of making coffee and of course taste the coffee. It was relaxing and overall fun experience
