My husband and I booked the coffee farm experience and the tour of Comuna 13 as one combined tour as we didn’t have a ton of time in Medellin. Our guide was Daniel, and he was wonderful. He spoke perfect English and was friendly, fun, informative and seemed to know lots of people in Comuna 13. We even got to meet one of the neighbourhood’s most prolific graffiti artists because Daniel introduced us. He picked us up on time at our hotel in a clean air conditioned vehicle. We headed to Comuna 13 early which was great because it wasn’t crowded and the vendors hadn’t yet set up for the day so we were able to see and enjoy the graffiti murals.
We learned about the history of the community, the meaning behind the artwork and saw a ton. Daniel also took lots of great pictures of us and Airdropped them to me at the end of the tour.
He also got us an incredibly delicious popsicle from a local vendor made from green mango and passionfruit which is served with a cup of lime juice and salt for dipping. We caught part of a truly impressive breakdancing performance and then we left.
After that we drove over to the coffee farm which is a small family-run farm. They have some animals and they’re on the side of a mountain. They served us a delicious bandeja paisa for lunch with some of the ingredients coming straight for their farm (avocado, eggs, the leaves it was wrapped in).
We brewed their coffee in 4 different methods and got to compare them. We also learned a lot about the coffee industry, and the life cycle of the coffee plant. Then we geared up in rubber boots and traditional coffee harvesting gear and set off into the hills to pick some coffee berries ourselves and then go through all the steps of the process.
I would highly recommend Medellin Day Trips and Daniel specifically. He made the day really great.

We were very fortunate to have met our guide, Sara. Her passion and energy was key to our memorable experience. We gained a much deeper understanding and appreciation for Medellín and Columbia through Sara. Her acknowledgment of their difficult past was very helpful in getting the full picture about this country. Highly recommend Sara and this combined tour!

We loved our tours of Comuna 13 and the coffee farm. Sara, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and made the experience great. I would recommend this tour as a must do when in the Medellín area. Comuna 13 offers fascinating history and views & a lively atmosphere (Sara was wonderful at letting us explore wherever we wanted) while the coffee farm offers a more rural experience that is equally interesting, as you learn the process of coffee and even get to dress in farmer’s clothes. This is a great company and if I return to Colombia, I will book every tour with them that I can! They made us feel so safe and lucky to have a private tour at a reasonable cost!!

My family had a great time on this tour! Our guide, Daniel, was super informative and we learned so much about Comuna 13 and Coffee Farm. It was clear Daniel had so much knowledge and passion to teach us much as he could about both. Daniel was so patient with our three year old throughout and made sure he had a good time too! He also took amazing photos he shared with us after. This tour was a great way to maximize our short time in Medellin!

The experience was incredible!! It was so unique and we learned so much. Comuna 13 has an energy all its own and like nothing we’ve ever experienced – Sara gave us a deep appreciation of the area and the local and national culture that would have been difficult for us to understand on our own. And the coffee farm up in the mountains within the city was the best! Our kids said it was something they’ll never forget; we could have spent the entire day up there surrounded by its charm.

We (my husband and I with our two boys ages 6 and 4) went to Comuna 13 and a coffee farm just outside Medellín with Erika. What a beautiful day! Erika was informative, friendly and great with the kids. She kept them engaged while we all explored Comuna 13. Lunch at the coffee farm was delicious and filling! The farm itself was wonderful, it was a delight to learn more about the process. Highly recommend Medellín Day Trips!

Our tour with Erika through Comuna 13 and the coffee experience was absolutely incredible—without a doubt, the best tour of our entire stay in Colombia!
From the start, Erika made sure everyone in our diverse group felt comfortable, from a toddler to older members, even going above and beyond to take care of a member who was injured. Her attention to detail and genuine care for each of us made her feel more like a family member than just a guide. It wasn’t even part of her job description, but she made sure everyone’s needs were met effortlessly.
Beyond her kindness, Erika is an exceptional storyteller, weaving history, culture, and personal insights into the tour in a way that kept us completely engaged. She also had the perfect balance of flexibility and time management, ensuring we soaked in every moment without feeling rushed.
The coffee tour was equally delightful, and our guide Alexa (or Aleha) was an absolute joy—sweet, funny, and knowledgeable.
If you’re visiting Medellín, this tour is a must-book experience. It was the perfect way to end our trip, and we couldn’t recommend Erika more highly

Our private Comuna 13 and Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin is the best combination possible to visit two of the most sought-after activities of visitors in Medellin.
You get the chance to visit a family's farm to witness and participate in a non-touristy coffee farm and have a traditional deliciously fresh lunch.
But you also get to know first-hand the real transformation of a neighborhood.
Comuna 13 used to be very violent and now is stepping forward for a much better future for its community.
Its colors, its people and its history will make this part of the tour also an unforgettable one.
As we combine the best of both atmospheres: Nature and urban history, we promise you will not be bored.
We have one of the best ranked coffee tours in Medellin, this is the same tour that provided the experiences that hundreds have rated as 5 stars so you can be sure this is the best alternative out there.
Comuna 13 and Coffee Farm Tour Itinerary:
All our tours are private and include pickup and drop off, so we start from your place of stay at the time that is more convenient for you.
So after we pick you up we start our day with the Graffiti tour in Comuna 13.
First Stop: Flying over hundreds of houses.
Throughout the ride in the cable car you will see lots of houses stack on top of the other.
Many of these houses were and some still are illegal settlements that belong to displaced people from rural areas as a consequence of the internal conflict.
Your guide will explain the origin of the war, its effects in the current city's situation and the free housing program undertaken to help them.
We are going to the last station where you can see many of the free houses. The whole ride is around 30 minutes, going up and down over the green mountains.
After we come back to the metro station and now that you have more context about Medellin, its social system, its means of transportation we head towards the Graffiti tour in Comuna 13.
Second Stop: Graffiti Tour in Comuna 13.
Our Graffiti Tour in the Comuna 13 is a must do activity when you travel to Medellin.
The violent past, the beautiful present and the promising future of this district makes it a magical place and an unforgettable experience.
The street art throughout the whole neighborhood makes it more mind blowing knowing that most of them have a special meaning related to its history.
Comuna 13 is the place where the first open-air electrical escalators in the world were installed.
The escalators had a cost of USD 3,5 million and were built to help locals avoid walking up 350 stairs in a very steep hill.
Besides the escalators that became one the biggest touristic attractions in Medellin, Comuna 13 is also one of the biggest street art district in Colombia and Latin America.
Half of the neighborhood displays meaningful graffiti and you get the chance to learn their meanings in this incredible tour.
The history, the art and the progress in this neighborhood are the reasons to visit this unforgettable place.
Third Stop: Coffee Tour
After the graffiti tour in Comuna 13 is finished we'll have a traditional lunch at the coffee farm with an amazing fresh organic lemonade juice grown in the farm.
The coffee you enjoy every day has taken a long journey before being in your cup.
With this coffee tour in Medellin you get to know this amazing journey in detail.
The major attraction in this coffee tour in Medellin is the coffee farmer's family, they are passionate about what they do and keen to make you feel part of their family.
To contribute to a better digestion we start our coffee tasting lessons with a Moka and an expert will give you an introduction into the world of Colombian coffee.
Then we start planting coffee seeds in a germinator to see the whole timeline until it grows into a tree.
Later on, we make our way to the coffee plantation to start picking beans by ourselves with a bucket and a farmer's hat. Then you will depulp, ferment, dry, thresh, roast and grind the coffee beans.
This is a unique farming tour where you will experience a real non-touristy farm where we grow and process the coffee beans to produce a premium product.
If you are planning to spend around 2 or 3 days in Medellin this tour is really your best option.
