Louka is the best guide we've ever had -and the cutest- it was his first tour and he was up for almost half of the tour, which was impressive for an 8 month old baby (actually he was our guide's son, but we still really enjoyed your company). In all seriousness, this tour is unmissable, we tried a wide variety of comfortable ones that we would never have ordered on our own, there was food for all tastes and all the portions alone were more than satisfactory, at the end of the tour we needed to sleep for a couple of hours because we couldn't move anymore from having eaten soooo much. Freddy was a great guide and we had a lot of fun on top of the great food. 1000/100 this experience

Such a great experience! It was so fun to learn all about the culture around coffee in Columbia. The coffees we tasted were excellent and it was very cool to learn new ways to brew coffee.

We had a great time with Marcela. We could try 4 traditional Colombian breakfasts. She also made sure to take care of our dietary restrictions. Overall very great experience.

Super fun! And our guide Cristian was awesome. He was knowledgeable on the sport and a good teacher

The guide Nathaly was wonderful and gave lots of info's. Absolutely loved the tour.
