What an amazing tour day experience! after booking it, andre immediatly contacted us giving us all the information.
Oscar was a wunderful guide who really knows a lot about his country. His englisch was excellent and the way he explains things makes you even being more curious about everything. we started our journey by testing some exotic fruits, went to the el peñol rock, to guatape where we had a delicious lunch and at the end we went to a sweet coffee farm and learned everything about the production of the coffee!
at night, oscar even went back to the hotel to bring my sunglasses which I forgot in the car. we highly recommend this tour, its all in one and perfect for those who dont have much time in medellin.

This is the first time my girlfriend and I have splurged on a private tour (anywhere) and we can’t recommend this particular one highly enough. Spending a day with Andres is like hiring a new best friend for the day. He’s so much fun to be around and gives great insights about Guatape and Medellin. He’s thoughtful, funny, intelligent and the experience he’s crafted is anything but commercial. This was incredibly fun and memorable — would recommend to anyone interested in packing a lot of activities into one special day!

My friend and I went on the full day tour with Andres, and we had the best time! The highlight of the trip was the coffee farm, where we got to pick coffee cherries with the farmer who owns the land. Andres was very knowledgeable about the coffee, Guatapé, and even walked up all 700 steps of Peñol to help us take pictures at the top. He’s very kind and was constantly making sure we were okay throughout the day. I highly recommend taking this tour with him!

…
This was one of our very favorite experiences of our whole Colombian trip. It was the only tour we could find for our short trip to Medellin that had a coffee farm and trip to Guatape, and it was perfect. We were picked up at our apartment and the first stop was fruit tasting; what a treat! We enjoyed trying all of the new and unique types of fruit. Next was the coffee farm; we enjoyed meeting the family (even their grandson and puppy were in on the fun) and our kids loved picking and processing the coffee fruit. It was interesting to see the growing/cultivating process first hand, even getting to try a bit ourselves. The trip up Piedra de Penol was beautiful and the view from the top is worth every step. We had a great lunch at a local spot recommended by Andres, our guide and he gave us an informative tour around Guatape. Andres was a great guide and we enjoyed our day with him traveling around the countryside. We would definitely encourage anyone to do this tour.

We found Andres on trip advisor from his amazing reviews and he did not disappoint! He is very friendly, speaks perfect English, knows a ton about Colombian history and current events, and is very fun!
We went on the coffee farm and guatape full day private tour, so it was just me, my fiancé and Andres. He picked us up at our hotel, was an extremely safe driver, as he drove us 1.5hrs there and back plus driving in between. He found out our interests (trying new foods) and incorporated them into our tour! He took us to delicious restaurants and food stands at reasonable prices. He truly believes in all of the establishments we visited. He has great relationships with people at every place we went to which is a true testament to what a great person he is!
We learned so much about Colombian history, Colombian culture, saw a new part of Medellin away from the city and made a friend!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND- must do your tours with Andres! He can accommodate what you want to do, personalize your experience, and make you feel like you’re going on a trip with an old friend!

First off- I don’t usually go on tours. I like to do things myself, on my own timeline and definitely NOT in a large group of strangers.
I was hesitant to book this tour for those reasons but after a few online chats with Andres from Medellin Day Trips, all my concerns were addressed. That was only the beginning!
I was short on time so we had to limit the tour where we could. The amount of patience and understanding that I received made my entire trip to Colombia pleasant. I learned so much and had such a wonderful experience, and still got back to my apartment to get COVID tested well early enough to prepare for the flight back to the states.
We found the best cookies ever made in a
tiny shop in Guatape and brought some home. I even left my wallet in the van at the end of the trip and it was returned to me. If your thinking about booking this tour. Do it! You won’t be disappointed!

Guatape and Coffee Farm Tour Itinerary
All our tours are private and include pickup and drop off, so we start from your place at the time that is more convenient for you.
Then, we head east of Antioquia to start with our first delicious stop.
Exotic Fruit Tasting
Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production, as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory.
This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of them.
In this short stop we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn't even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.
These are some of the fruits we could try in our Fruit Tasting included in this Guatape and Coffee Farm Tour.
How many of these exotic fruits have you tried? Wait no more and try them with us, you never know if you will have another chance in the future.
After delighting the palate with these exotic fruits we are ready to head to our second stop: the Coffee Farm.
Coffee Farm Tour
At the coffee plantation you meet a lovely traditional coffee farmer that will walk us through the amazing world of coffee.
We start our coffee tour with an introduction in which we explain the different stages of coffee production from the moment they are planted to when they are ready to be picked from the trees.
After this complete introduction we start to pick coffee beans in the plantation.
After picking coffee beans we peel, ferment and wash them to remove the mucilage and continue to the next stage.
Drying the coffee beans
The coffee beans need to be completely dry in order to be processed.
To do this, a type of green-house called Marquesina is used, which keeps and increases the heat inside drying the beans faster.
Threshing, Roasting, Grinding and Packing the coffee
When the coffee beans are completely dry we need to remove the shell so we use a machine to do it.
The result of this process is the green coffee. This is the stage at which most of the Colombian coffee is exported.
However, in our coffee tour the process goes further with the roasting process having 3 different levels depending on your taste:
- Highly roasted.
- Medium-high (most popular one).
- Medium.
The next process is the grinder, where we put the brown roasted beans to grind.
Finally, the last process is packing the fresh coffee you just processed.
After our hosts pack the coffee you can buy it directly from them at a very fair price.
After learning everything about coffee, we go towards the Guatape Rock.
Climbing Up The Guatape Rock
At this massive rock you get the chance to climb up it. It's 749 steps and 50 minutes approximately to go up and down.
Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen.
This is not only our opinion but that of hundreds of tourists we have taken there.
However, our Guatape and Coffee Farm Tour still has more to offer.
Our next destination is Guatape, one of the most colorful and picturesque towns in Colombia.
Guatape Town The City of Zocalos
At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town's landmarks: church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more.
If you like shopping this is a good place to do it since there are a lot of hand crafted souvenirs and all kind of items to bring back home.
After we finish our visit in this beautiful Guatape town we head back in our comfortable private car.
This is a tour full of good memories and insights on coffee and the culture of this region that will leave you very satisfied.
