Review of Medellín's D'Arrieros coffee tour, with farm walks, tastings, Paisa lunch, transport, optional horseback riding, and practical tips.

“I did a coffee farm tour in Medellín with Lorraina as our guide, and it was such a wonderful experience. Lorraina was absolutely lovely – very welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the whole process of coffee production with us. She explained everything clearly and with so much enthusiasm, which made the tour both fun and educational. The farm itself was beautiful, and it was fascinating to see each stage of how coffee is grown, harvested, and prepared. Getting to taste the coffee right there on the farm was a real highlight! I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín, especially with Lorraina as the guide. She really made…”

“Our street food tour in Cartagena with Alvaro (and Andres) was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Alvaro was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging from the first stop to the last. He not only introduced us to a wide range of delicious Colombian bites (seriously, come hungry — you won’t need another meal that day), but also gave us a deeper understanding of the history and culture behind each dish. The number of stops was impressive, and each one had something unique to offer. Alvaro went above and beyond by also giving us recommendations for what to do and where to go while we were in town. Bonus…”

“Daniel was my guide today, and he exceeded my expectations. He arrived on time, was genuinely friendly, and demonstrated deep knowledge about Bogotá and its culture. Even though my native language is Spanish, I requested the tour in English to practice my listening and speaking skills as a professional interpreter, and Daniel handled it seamlessly. I truly enjoyed exploring some of Bogotá’s most emblematic spots with him. I highly recommend both this tour and Daniel as a guide. Hope to see him next time for another activity. Blessings”
