I highly recommend this coffee tasting experience in Cartagena. Sophia was incredibly knowledgeable about the coffee, extremely kind and welcoming, and great to talk to about tourism in Cartagena.
Thank you for leaving your feedback! Yes, Sofia is a wonderful teacher with a kind heart and a passion for coffee. Thank you for learning about coffee in Colombia with us.
This was a very enjoyable experience. Our host was very informative and pleasant. We had a great time learning about Colombia coffee history while tasting some amazing coffee.
We're so glad you enjoyed learning about Colombian coffee as well as the history of Cartagena! Happy slurping!
A good experience. Our guide Sofia was very kind and spoke great English for non-Spanish speakers. Nobody else was in our group so it was very personal. We went to three coffee shops, two in the old city and one in Getsemani. They prepare the coffee right in front of you and it’s pretty interesting. A good experience.
We are so glad that you enjoyed the experience with Sofi! It's a great way to learn about coffee in Colombia and to see the beautiful city of Cartagena.
I absolutely loved this! This experience is both a coffee tasting (of various artisanal shops around the old city) and a verbal lesson on the history and cultivation process of coffee in colombia. I thought it was a very all-encompassing experience that left me with a far greater understanding of coffee and colombian culture. The coffe shops are super cool and the coffee itself was great at each stop. I’ve never been coffee tasting before so for me, I was able to work on refining my palate. Sofi, my guide is also so sweet, knowledgeable and accomodating. Would highly reccomend for any coffee lovers or anyone who wants to learn more!
Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the education as well as the shops we visited. And yes, Sofi is both sweet and knowledgeable about coffee! Happy slurping!
This was an amazing experience. Daniel was very knowledgeable and the coffee shops that we visited were gorgeous! I would definitely recommend doing this tour as soon as you get to Cartagena because it helps you to familiarize yourself with the city and the different places to visit.
Thank you so much for that wonderful feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your experience in Cartagena. And yes, doing our coffee workshop first thing is a good idea because along with learning the best places to have coffee, you also get to know the city quite well. - Karen
Amazing experience. Sofi was great and very knowledgeable about the history behind Colombian coffee.
Thank you so much for letting us know how much you enjoyed the experience. Yes, Sofi is very knowledgeable and a great educator.
It was a really nice morning out in Cartagena - both Old Town and Getsemani. We were joined by both Karen (founder and owner of Flavors of Bogota) and Sophia (our local guide). It’s important to note that it’s a specialty coffee experience - so no milk or sugar to start - but a very insightful and fun way to learn a lot about Colombian coffee in some beautiful shops with really interesting brews. ☕️🇨🇴😊 If you’re coffee curious or a coffee lover, check it out!
Thanks so much for letting us know how much you enjoyed the workshop. We had fun with you both. Thanks for spending your last hours in Cartagena with us.
Really good tour and knowledgeable guides! They were able to answer all the questions we had in mind. We tried three completely different coffees in cute coffee stores.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We had a great time with you discovering the ideal coffees for your preferences. Happy slurping! - Karen
Tour guide Daniel was fantastic. Interesting information about cafe , Cartagena and any thing else we wanted to k ow about the culture and history of Columbia. A great ambassador for the company and the country
We're so glad you enjoyed seeing Cartagena with Daniel. His knowledge does seem endless. Happy slurping! - Karen
Fantastic experience! Fun way to get lost in the world of specialty coffee - and Cartagena is the best place to do it. Great workshop learning how to distinguish the different flavor profiles, processes, and growing areas of Columbia. Sofi was a sweetheart and a great teacher. Just as complex as wine tasting, it's a great way to understand, appreciate, and enjoy a great cup of coffee! Highly recommend
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so happy you enjoyed learning about specialty coffee in Colombia with us. And yes, Sofi is a sweetheart with a love of coffee! -Karen
