“We had Cristian as our guide and he was fantastic, very knowledgeable, funny and welcoming with the group. Got to experience what the farmers have to go through to get the coffee and it’s hard work. We got to try the coffee in 4 different brewing methods ( you as team gets to decided) or he recommended on the method that you use that home which was nice. As a coffee lover, that is appreciated. We got treated to a yummy lunch and overall the family run coffee farm was a really good experience. It was recommended by a friend who was here last year, glad we did and I…”

Review of Medellín’s private coffee tour to Jardín, with farm activities, unlimited coffee, lunch, mountain views, and practical booking advice.
“Abbiamo deciso di fare questa gita fuori porta partendo da Medellín perché ci era stato consigliato di vedere Jardin, e ne è valsa veramente la pena. Jardin è un paesino meraviglioso, case colorate felicità e vita lenta, e grazie alla nostra guida Esteban che conosce benissimo la città, avendoci vissuto e amandola, abbiamo scoperto cose che difficilmente si trovano scritte sulle guide di viaggio. L’esperienza alla finca per vedere le piantagioni di caffè e tutto il processo di produzione è sicuramente molto autentica e indimenticabile, con calma e attenzione ci sono stati spiegati e mostrati tutti i passaggi dalla coltivazione alla tostatura, assaggiando alla fine un ottimo caffè, dopo un…”
Review of Medellín’s six-hour coffee tour, with hotel transfers, farm tastings, lunch, practical tips, price advice, and booking guidance.
“Overpriced for the experience. $124 included some coffee tastings and a light lunch but in a larger group setting, so for Colombia this pricing didn't make sense. Suggest to shop this around. Much better priced options out there. Others on the trip booked same experience for a lot less.”
Review of Medellín’s private coffee farm tour, with hands-on picking, brewing, family hospitality, transport, pricing, tips, and drawbacks.
“My guide for the day was Mario, scheduled with a 1:30pm pickup. Mario was on time to pick me up and arrived at 1:30pm. Throughout the day, Mario was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He not only has a deep knowledge of Medellin and coffee, but having spend considerable time overseas, his English is excellent. The tour of the farm itself was superb. An interactive experience in a family operated environment. I would highly recommend this tour and Mario to others.”

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…”
Ride ATVs through Guarne, then learn coffee from bean to brew on a private Medellín day tour with lunch, views, and bilingual guides.
“This was a great day with our guide Erika. The ATV ride was a blast, although we would have liked to stop one or two more times for photos. We had an amazing experience at a family organic coffee farm that included a delicious lunch, and learning all about the coffee making process from growing and picking the beans to the end product. We picked beans and learned to make coffee 4 different ways and enjoyed some fantastic organic coffee. There was a fair amount of time in the car but we didn’t mind since we got to hear about life in Medellin. It was an added bonus that Erika…”
