“Joshua was an absolutely fantastic tour guide for our scenic horseback ride through the Colombian hills. The entire experience exceeded our expectations and was everything we had hoped for. The scenery was truly spectacular, a feast for the eyes, and Joshua's guidance made it even more enjoyable. He did an excellent job of making both my partner and I feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we met him. His knowledge of the area and the horses was impressive, and his confidence with the animals was reassuring. We felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the ride. We had a truly fantastic time and would wholeheartedly recommend this…”

Christian the son of the owner was our tour guide and was extremely enthusiastic and funny. Taking time to give us as much information as he could. We were dressed in ponchos and hats and walked and picked coffee beans and learnt the whole process of cofffee making. The whole operation is run by the family and neighbors and our lunch came in a banana tree leaf and we sat and overlooked the mountains. The transportation to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 82 reviews · 6 hours · from $76

Review of Medellín’s six-hour coffee tour with a mule ride, farm lunch, coffee tasting, sugar cane, and mountain views for $76.

“Loved everything about the tour! I would definitely say horseback riding is not very accurate as its donkeys but it was very enjoyable and fun. The donkeys were well behaved and easy to manage. Our tour guide was awesome and very thorough with the history and details of coffee. The lunch served in the plantain lead was delicious but would’ve been better if it was served a bit more warm. We didn’t learn too much about the panela/sugar cane but they served it with lime and it was a refreshing drink (served once you reach the cafe, after picking beans, and with lunch). Not too sweet which i loved. The…”

“Laura was an amazing guide! This was my second time going to Guatapé and I felt less rushed than the first time going with a group tour even though we started our adventure later in the morning. Laura knew which spots to focus on and took great pictures and videos of us so we could be fully present and enjoy the experience. We also got to ask more questions since she was guiding just the two of us. Traffic was also much better since we were navigating the roads in a car instead of a giant bus. My favorite part was the horseback riding! The horses were really sweet and…”
