Jardín Coffee Lovers Private Tour with Waterfall Option from Medellín

Our guide Daniela was wonderful. The drive is very long due to construction. The scenery was wonderful and worth the trip. The coffee farm is gorgeous and the host family are beautiful. The town of Jardin is magical with a fantastic cathedral. The people of Jardin are so friendly and warm. The hillsides are fantastic. Daniela and Jaime were the best.

Hello Last week, my fiance and I joined this private tour. The coffee finca was amazing...Don Jaime and his esposa was soo accommodating...we had a nice pastry and picked coffee beans and tried the coffee produced by Don Jaime plus a sample of the aperitif they make. The tour guide Daniella and the driver Jaime were very nice, genuine and informative. But. ... The ride was very very long due to construction and the occasional uncleaned debris from multiple landslides in the mountains. There was only 1 washroom break for the 4 hour ride there. And one for the 4 hour ride back. My fiance developed stomach issues and even though we paid to see the waterfall, we could not go...as only on the tour, and not in advance, did they inform us it was a ' 40 minute walk to visit the waterfall and return, excluding the time at the waterfall'., I was not offered a refund for the extra money we paid for the waterfall tour. If I knew in advance of this long trek, I would not have taken and paid for the waterfall option. If I knew there was only 1 washroom break every 4 hours, I would not have booked this tour at all. The guide told us,'sorry to treat you like children, but there are no washroom stops...you must hold it'....this is not what I expected from private tour.....seriously....it is disrespectful. I would recommend this tour to those who have strong bladders and those who dont mind a 40 minute trek plus visiting timd on foot to see a waterfall. I know we dont have the convenience of North America here, but to those who have even the slightest urge to use the washroom more than once every 4 hours; this may not me the tour for you....like it was not a good situation for us. It was over 11 hour tour total for 1 hour in le Jardin and maybe 1.5 hours at the coffee finca...do the math. I spend almost $500 US for 2 people..I felt like I could have spent my money better elsewhere..maybe a 1/2 day coffee tour and the rest for a nice meal....

We are now returned from our amazing trip to Colombia and back to our routine lives. But whenever anyone asks how our trip was, I mention this amazing tour! The colorful town of Jardin was the cutest ever. I want to go back! The tour of the coffee plantation was a must-do in Colombia. So interesting to learn exactly how my daily cup of java is made! Sitting on that wrap around balcony sipping the freshly made coffee while looking out at the amazing mountain views and colorful birds was something we will never forget. The massive waterfall was amazing. And our wonderful guide, Oscar, was with us on every step explaining the history and stories of the town making the experience so much more interesting. He was very helpful with my husband who has some trouble walking and very ready to take pictures when I asked. Thank you for the tour!! It was incredible!
