Review of a private Medellín to Jardín coffee tour, with farm visits, tasting, cable-car views, lunch, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“O lugar realmente é belíssimo, porém a estrada é muito cheia de curvas, a viagem demora mais de 3 horas. Ficamos um pouco decepcionados com a fazenda de café era um lugar bem simples e não nos avisaram para usar repelente, estávamos de bermudas e fomos devorados pelos mosquitos. Na cidade a vista do topo da montanha vale a pena, o almoço bem caseiro.. nada de especial e não houve degustação de café fomos ao um lugar e cada um tomou um tipo de café.. nada diferente disso. Eu não faria de novo. Se tivesse com criança seria muito difícil de suportar a estrada. O nosso guia foi ótimo, mas…”

Review of the Doka Coffee, Poás Volcano, and La Paz Waterfall tour from San José, with food, timing, guides, value, and practical tips.
“The guide was kind and shared interesting stories, the driver was also responsible and did a good job. Our main concern was the structure of the tour: the main highlight was supposed to be Poas Volcano, but this is the place where we spent the least amount of time. Moreover, we went there in the late morning, where the weather notoriously turns worse, and as a result we could not see anything. Instead, we spent the first (very sunny) hours of the tour in the Doka hacienda. I suggest adapting the schedule of the tour to the weather conditions when appropriate, as Poas is the main attraction tourists are there…”

Visit a Jardin coffee farm from Medellin, taste fresh Colombian coffee, ride a mountain cable car, and explore a colorful hillside town.
“The worst experience we had in Colombia! A three hour drive to get to a coffee plantation ( ok scenery was good ) they said the tour would be bilingual, it was all in spanish, we were struggling to follow the tour… by the end of the tour we had to return ( thank God for our nice driver Ivan 🙏if it wasnt for him we would still be there) never saw Jardin and didnt have time for lunch! An absolute disaster… dont fall in this trap! Its absolutely impossible to make this trip in a day… we were never even informed the drive was 3 hours there and three…”

Review of a full-day Medellín tour combining a family coffee farm, Piedra del Peñol, fruit tasting, and colorful Guatapé.
“My brother and I really enjoyed the private tour. It is always our preference as the guides have more to share. Julio was awesome! He was very friendly, super knowledgeable, and spoke great English. Our day was not rushed. We were able to see and learn a lot. The coffee farm was unique and we appreciated that it was a family plantation and not a commercialized experience. The family at the farm was super gracious and coffee tasted great. I highly recommend this tour and if you get Julio, be ready for a good time.”
