Excellent! Especially Mafe, our guide who made the activity very dynamic and interesting. It is possible to try different varieties of Coffee and in different places where the history and production process is known. It is a different and special way to approach the culture and diversity of a country as interesting as Colombia.

Our family loved this experience. It is in a nice dining room off the street level. We showed up early and they arranged to start early to accommodate us. Alejandra was so knowledgeable about the fruits and shared her personal experiences as a child trying these fruits. She knew all the various ways to enjoy them. The ice cream making was fun too
Great class for Coffee and Non-coffe drinkers

The tour was great and I'm not a coffee drinker. Alexis is very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. I have already recommended this tour to 5 other tourists.This was one of the best local experiences I have had since arriving in Columbia. I would highly recommend. The barista at Senior titis (named for an endanger Colombian monkey) was also a pleasure to get to know. I can't wait to go back and try the restaurant upstairs. It's a great cause with exceptional service. You won't be disappointed. Oh, Alexis also offers salsa dancing classes. Please check it out Experience Cartagena Tours.

The coffee tour in Cartagena was one of the best experiences of the trip. Everything happened in a relaxed and very authentic atmosphere, without forcing anything. We learned a lot about the coffee process, from how it’s grown to how it’s prepared, but the nicest thing was to do it closely, with people who really love what they do. We tasted amazing coffees, unlike anything we had had before. It was not only informative, but also very enjoyable. You leave with another look at coffee and eager to continue exploring flavors. I would do it again without hesitation.
