Great History and Information; Minimal Tour of Coffee Farm
Aaron_G, Mar 2024
While the tour was filled with great information on the history of coffee globally and within Colombia, along with some great tastings and a tasty lunch, the actual visit of the coffee farm was very limited. We were hoping to really experience the actual farm but the tour was: sit down at entrance and listen to information on coffee, get dressed, walk up a small hill for pictures, then a quick walk in a single file line through one short path (maybe 100 yards all together), pick a couple coffee seeds (if nobody in front of you has already picked them), then sit back down for more background information on coffee. Neat to experience but less than what we were hoping for.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
I am sorry to hear that the visit to our coffee farm did not completely meet your expectations. I appreciate your highlighting the positive aspects of the tour, such as the information provided on the history of coffee and the tastings, as well as our delicious traditional lunch. However, it is understandable that you expected a more complete experience at the farm itself. Your feedback is valuable and will be helpful for us to improve and provide more satisfying experiences in the future. I hope that, despite this minor inconvenience, you were still able to enjoy your time on the tour and your visit to Colombia. Best regards. ViajaMedellin

Great Views
Gregory_L, Feb 2024
Amelia gave a great tour and explanation of the coffee growing to prep process in English. Be prepared to hike and navigate steep hillsides. Very scenic and the real thing.

It sounds like you had a wonderful experience with our guide, learning about the cultivation of coffee and the process of making it into the final product.

BEST Coffee Tour! Cristina was the best tour guide!

LOVED this tour! It’s so cool that we got to learn so much about the history of coffee in Colombia. We really enjoyed our tour, and our tour guide Cristina. She was very fun, and very knowledgeable.

Learn everything you don’t know about coffee
Joshua_D, Jan 2024
Such an amazing and informative tour! You get to learn about the history, farming, and making of coffee that is long overdue if you’re a regular coffee drinker. I’ve been roasting my own for years but learned so much more.

Learning about Coffee
Miriam_D, Dec 2023
We got a lot of history about coffee and how to choose your coffee. We had many tastings of coffee and other beverages. The lunch that was provided was typical Colombian and delicious. We even got samples of ground coffee to take home. My only concern is the understated 'treacherous' terrain. It only said to wear shoes and not sandals as the ground is slippery. This was an understatement. There should have been a warning that if you had heart/walking issues, you SHOULD not do this tour. Our driver had to help an older lady on the tour to get up the mountain and back down again.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
We appreciate your positive comments about the coffee and tasting experience, as well as the delicious typical Colombian lunch. We regret any inconvenience related to the terrain and appreciate that you mentioned it. We will take your suggestion into consideration to provide more detailed warnings in the future. Your safety and comfort is a priority. We appreciate your understanding and hope you enjoyed the overall experience, thank you for sharing your comments and for choosing our tour!ViajaMedellin
Definitely Recommend!
Jennifer_G, Dec 2023
Very informative and a great experience! Amelia was our guide (english) and we learned a lot from her introduction. It was a fun, immersive experience. We tried raw coffee beans, different types of coffee and tea, plantains, and had a tasty lunch

A Must-Do in Medellín!
mh5k6mjx5c, Nov 2023
This was probably the most interesting thing I did in my time in Medellín! The tour included everything from learning what the different stages of coffee beans look like to lunch, coffee tasting, and even some gifts to take home. I did the Spanish tour but they do have one that’s in English and had a blast. Honestly I would do this again if I could. Very nice and professional people, would recommend this to anyone.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
It is very gratifying to see how every day more and more people in the world learn and enjoy our coffee; this is a real experience in a coffee farm in our country, we are glad that you liked it and that you value our tour so positively, always welcome; coffee is a whole universe always waiting to be discovered and every day you learn a little more, best regards! ViajaMedellin
Knowledge Is Power!
Johanna_D, Oct 2023
Oh my goodness! What an amazing, immersive experience! Cristina is a really fabulous tour guide, and our driver, Juan , was fantastic. Every single person we met on the farm was so friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. This tour could not honestly have been any better. We did not know which tour to choose, but we hit the jackpot with this one. The knowledge we gained about coffee growing, quality and even brewing, will enable us to enjoy this beverage on another level entirely. Thank you so much

Melanie_B, Oct 2023
Wonderful experience! Learned so much about coffee. Climbed up into the bushes and picked coffee beans after learning how to select and dressing appropriately!! Tasting was quite interesting! and lunch was delicious. The young man who led our English-speaking group was the son of the owner and knew all of the ins and outs.

Best part of our trip!!
Farah_C, Sep 2023
The tour guide, David, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly an expert on the coffee farming process and it was a very fun experience! Lunch was absolutely delicious and they accommodated any dietary restrictions or allergies. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as there is a lot of very steep climbing up and down the mountain. We had 3-4 tastings (about a 2 once size each), a snack, and lunch. They also gave complimentary coffee bag, it was awesome !
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Farah, people like you, make every day our work worthwhile, we are excited to read your valuable contribution, it is really very important for us, it helps us to keep growing, we can only tell you, thank you for trusting us, we send you a hug from our work team Viaja Medellin.

Marisol_R, Sep 2023
Amelia was a great tour guide. She made the coffee making process fun. A lot of information is shared. I do not recommend if you have mobility issues as you have to climb, steep, rocky and narrow pathways. Otherwise worth the trip!
