5.00I’ve been visiting Medellin for over 20 years—my wife’s family lives here—and this is one of the best experiences I’ve had. You get to see a rarely seen part of the city, taking the tram and then metro cables up to the La Sierra neighborhood, and there’s a fair bit of steep uphill walking. Then you get this great experience of first sitting and having a cup of local coffee, then walking a short distance to a working coffee field and getting to pick and sample beans, then back to the cafe for a more thorough demonstration of coffee processing, using the very beans we picked. You end up with another fresh cup of coffee and a sweet treat while enjoying the magnificent view. I have visited the coffee farm my wife’s family owned for decades, and I learned more in this one afternoon. Great experience for our kids. Our guide, Daniela, was a gem. Very friendly and well informed, could explain everything in English or Spanish. The coffee demo by Rosa and her family was also great. Aside from the uphill walking, you need to be careful (as Daniela warned us) to look out for cars, busses, & motos while walking on some narrow twisty roads. If you can handle that, don’t miss this tour.

5.00Camilo was a wonderful tour guide. He knew most of the people in the neighborhood and stopped to talk to the children to help with their English. The coffee picking and learning about the process was very interesting. It was a special experience.
Great tour!

5.00Very well organized. The people were welcoming and nice. We loved the little stories that our guide Melisa told us along the way. The coffee farm was beautiful and a lot bigger than we expected. We recommend bringing a lot of water as the hike has a lot of stairs and the hill is quite steep. The farm owner explained every steps very clearly and we were able to taste their coffee a few times which was great. Overall very good experience! We highly recommend!

5.00This tour is just excellent. You experience the whole process of picking up the coffee beans from the tree to the final product, rosted coffee. Rosa was great in explaining the whole proces and our guide Julian was super nice and helpfull. He even helped us to buy tickets for metro rail since the machines were not working. One warning, you will get dirty when going into the coffee field to pickup the beans.
Fully recommended!

5.00Definitely a good tour. I had a chance to ask a lot of questions and gain a better understanding of coffee in Colombia. My favorite part was getting an opportunity to pick the coffee beans. My tour guide was very nice and spoke English to me the whole time. If you like coffee then this is a good tour.
amazing coffee tour

5.00wear comfortable shoes and bring lots of water with you because you do go up two steep hills and possibly a few hundred steps, aside from that it's a beautiful tour full of information about the coffee process, neighborhood, and plantation history. Annie was an amazing tour guide. definitely recommend.
Great coffee experience
