Shay made the the experience
From the exact moment we met Shay at the designated meetup location, she created an incredibly warm and welcoming atmosphere that set the perfect tone for our coffee tour. Her knowledge is truly exceptional—she effortlessly covers everything from the intricate process of growing the beans to the science of roasting and the art of brewing. What really stood out was how flawlessly organized she was at every single stop, making the entire experience seamless, relaxing, and incredibly enjoyable. I truly cannot emphasize enough how much Shay elevated this tour for us. She didn’t just guide us; she made the experience. If you are considering this tour, ask for Shay!

Wonderful tour of Getsemani and full of history
I had the privilege of making the route in particular! The guide, Alyer, was excellent. Coach of coffee, processes involving from planting to the modes of preparation at the table. Also knowledgeable of history, which to me, was primordial. Besides patient and attentive. We went to 3 cafes, where we tried experimental, more traditional and all very interesting cafes. It is important to emphasize that Colombian coffee is completely different from Brazilian, so you will have a completely different experience! I recommend! AMEI!
