The coffee tour was great and highly educational. We enjoyed the horse back riding, but as experienced riders we were nervous riding along the main road with cars just feet from the horses.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the coffee tour and found it highly educational. We also appreciate your honest feedback about the horseback riding — as experienced riders, we understand your concern about riding along the main road with traffic so close. We will take this into serious consideration as we review the route and safety measures for that activity. Your input helps us improve, and we truly value it. At ViajaMedellín, we hope to welcome you back for even better experiences in the future.
Very amazing. Pickup was easy, met some cool travelers, learned a lot about coffee from our very kind and funny tour guide Samuel. The coffee, food, and desserts were awesome, and riding the horse was pretty sweet (and terrifying). Highly recommend!

This was very organized and the food for lunch was super filling, the horse ride was very very safe and they have both English and Spanish sections to explain how a coffee bean becomes coffee. If I could change one thing it would be to try more coffee and different kinds and that they offered cream and sugar/honey. There are many free gifts for you and all of the people are extremely patient throughout :)

Samuel was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. It was the first time for me and my brother doing this tour. And even tho we are not big coffee drinker it was really good to learn the difference between good coffee and the bad one. Horseback riding was also alot of fun and definitely recommended this tour.

I loved the trip overall. They shared information about coffee including its history. The most fun part was gathering coffee beans and just discovering. Also, riding horses and just seeing the view was mesmerizing. Thank you for the experience - it was a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday!!

This tour is a great deal and well worth it. The transportation was punctual and kind. The coffee farm experience was fun and educational, we even got a diploma to be certified coffee snobs. The meal was delicious and traditional. I have always been hesitant about horseback rides, especially taking my daughter but each horse is hand guided by an experienced guide. I felt safe the entire time. The landscape is beautiful and the horse guided make sure and take pics for you with your own phone. This tour was a win win for me. I made a beautiful memory with my daughter. You will need to be able to do moderate activity with a short distance of climbing.

My friend and I really enjoyed this tour! I don't even drink coffee and I thoroughly had a great time learning about the different processes and trying all the different treats. Ask for Samuel if possible, he really kept the energy up and kept us entertained! We never felt bored even though it was a lot for information. The horse riding was also a lot of fun. As it was our first time riding, the uphill path as a bit scary for us but we felt safe knowing that the trainers were walking along with us the whole time. We would've liked to begin on flat terrain but that is a small detail. Another small detail would be to improve the trainers picture taking skills, he offered many photos but unfortunately none are very good. I would highly recommend this tour! The finca was beautiful, everyone was so kind, and it definitely left a positive mark on our Medellin trip.

We had such a great time! The experience as a whole was incredibly educational and so fun! Renee our driver was super friendly and Samuel our tour guide was super interactive with the group. The lunch we were given was delicious and so was the coffee! The horses were really tame too! Overall I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin!
