We had an amazing experience! Our tour guide Oscar was very knowledgeable and did an amazing job of facilitating conversation between us(English speakers) and the owners of the farm. As someone who really loves Colombian coffee it was such a joy for me to experience and understand the entire process. 10/10 would recommend ☺️
Here’s the updated version: The tour was great. We enjoyed the farm and the entire experience. We tried different types of coffee and went through the coffee-making process. Our tour guide, Henry, was amazing. There were also animals on the farm, and the kids were very excited to interact with them. I highly recommend this tour for families with kids of any age.

Brilliant experience! Julio is perfect bilingual so we spend a good time chatting in English. Experienced a whole process from coffee bean to cup and learned lots of refreshing things about coffee and farms. Really meaningful and relaxing afternoon.
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the full coffee experience from bean to cup and appreciated Julio’s bilingual guidance. It’s great to know the afternoon felt both meaningful and relaxing.
This was by far the best tour that my friends and I experienced while visiting Medellín. Oscar was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly, patient, and spoke both English and Spanish. The coffee finca we visited was up in the hills with a beautiful view, beautiful scenery, and great service. It was an experience I will never forget.
Thank you for your review. We’re honored to hear this was the best tour you experienced in Medellín. It’s great to know you enjoyed the setting, the service at the coffee finca, and the guidance throughout the day. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience.
This was an amazing excursion, private, very humble experience, pace was relaxed with lots of memorable moments. Home made food, dessert, cocktail and coffee was served (extra), but totally worth it. Would recommend!
Thank you for your review. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the private, relaxed experience and the personal touches throughout the visit. It’s great to know the homemade food, drinks, and coffee added to such a memorable day. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
A delight of walking! We stayed around 4 hours in a “finca” of coffee listening about the different methods of making coffee and then we played to participate in the harvesting process. The owner's son is named Juan Pablo and is very friendly. We saw the machinery, walked through the farm (that 17 thousand feet of coffee) and at the end we bought a package of their brand. Simple and tasty! And the best part is that it's close to Medellin. I recommend! It's worth it! The guide Oscar is very nice, explains everything and was very attentive.
Muito obrigado pelo seu relato tão bonito! ☕🌿 Ficamos felizes que tenham aproveitado o passeio, desde aprender sobre os métodos de preparo até colocar a mão na massa na colheita. Juan Pablo e a família realmente recebem a todos com muito carinho, e é ótimo saber que vocês saíram com café e boas lembranças. Oscar também vai adorar saber do seu elogio—ele adora compartilhar e cuidar de cada detalhe. Esperamos vê-los novamente em Medellín para mais experiências deliciosas!
Erika is a wonderful tour guide! Very knowledgeable about the history and current events of Colombia. She shared both cultural and scientific knowledge about coffee cultivation. Highly recommend Erika and this tour for coffee lovers!
Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed Erika’s tour and her insights on Colombian history and coffee. Your recommendation means a lot!
This is one of those times that the tour guide enhanced the experience beyond expectation. Oscar hosted my private tour of the coffee farm in Sabaneta, just outside Medellin. He was prompt, courteous, and friendly. Most of all, he was incredibly knowledgeable of the history of coffee in Colombia and the growing process (production). He also knew everything about the business side of the coffee industry in Colombia and the challenges faced by small, independent growers like the farm we visited. The actual coffee farm was visually stunning, with an indescribable variety of vegetation and plant life. Many things grow on the farm besides coffee, which was fascinating. All in all, this coffee farm tour was the highlight of my trip to Colombia. Not to mention, the coffee was delicious! I highly recommend this tour and makes sure to request Oscar as your guide.
Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience! We're thrilled to hear Oscar made the coffee farm tour so memorable and that you enjoyed learning about the process and challenges of independent growers. Your recommendation means a lot!
Oscar picked us up at the hotel with a genuine smile. He asked in what language would we prefer the tour to be in; we said English. The tour to the farm was delightful; pointing out beautiful buildings and sharing is knowledge along the way. The coffee plantation was amazing. He showed us the process from planting the coffee seed all the way to the grinding and drinking of amazing coffee. They even showed us the different methods of brewing and how they affect the taste of the coffee. An amazing experience!
hank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that Oscar made you feel right at home from the start with his warm smile and thoughtful approach. 😊 It sounds like you had a wonderful time at the coffee plantation, from learning about the entire process to tasting the amazing coffee! ☕️ The different brewing methods are such a fun and interesting part of the experience—there’s nothing like a fresh cup of coffee after seeing all the hard work that goes into it. We’re so glad you enjoyed the journey, and we hope to welcome you again for more adventures and memorable moments! Warmly,
