“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…”

“My wife and I are frequent travelers to many different countries and this was one of the best tours we have ever went on. The group was small and David our tour guide was knowledgeable but not too talkative and over the top. It was a relaxed pace and the sights were amazing. This was an excellent activity and well worth the money spent. There also wasn’t any pressure to spend any additional money and that was also appreciated.”

“My friend and I booked this private tour and immediately I knew it would be a great experience the moment Sara picked us up from our hotel! She is such a sweet, smart, knowledgeable guide, and we learned so much about the country on our drive to the coffee and chocolate farms outside of the city in the mountains. The 2 farms were so amazing with beautiful views of the mountainside and valley, and SO many stunning flowers and plants. The experience at both of the local farm owners was unique, leaning and doing the process that they do daily to produce the coffee and chocolates. Both farms had the…”

8.Chocolate tour near Medellin

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 90 reviews · 6 to 7 hours (approx.) · from $119

Chocolate tour near Medellín: hands-on cocoa picking and bean-to-bar making, tastings, and AC transport for a small group. $119.

“If you are frightened of heights then you might want to skip the tour of the farm because there are narrow paths on the edge of hills and one narrow bridge that was difficult to cross (they helped me). The whole process of making chocolate was explained (very similar to coffee) and you get to make your own custom chocolate to your specifications. Not bad! Yula is a world traveler and has spent a lot of time in the U.S. and Europe so she was very knowledgeable about cultures outside of Colombia and has plenty of interesting stories and advice to share.”

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

6-hour Medellín farm tour: donkey ride, coffee tastings, sugar cane processing, included lunch, and a Guatapé photo stop.

“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…”

Spend a full day from Medellín to a coffee finca and Jardin in the Andes, with unlimited coffee, hands-on picking, and lunch included.

“This trip was very well organized. We left on a Sunday, and the guides suggested we leave earlier to Jardin so we can make it back before rush hour. Esteban is very knowledgeable, and well placed as a tour guide given his history in and around the area. He genuinely enjoys taking care of others, and making them feel like family. The tour was unexpected and we have changed our view on coffee and the production process forever. Getting to see Jardin was a real treat too, this town is like out of a history book. Simply beautiful”
