This was a very comprehensive and engaging learning experience on the most ubiquitous of daily routines - enjoyment of a fine cup of coffee. Our guide Indira was very knowledgeable and eager to share her knowledge of the entire coffee growing process, defining the various origins of coffee right down to the multi-staged harvesting and roasting process. Her English was impeccable and her interaction with staff at the visited coffee shops was valuable to the learning experience.
Unfortunately my tour was delayed by the late arrival of other guests victims to Bogotá's notorious traffic, thus preventing me from visiting the third and final coffee shop with the rest of the group. As such, I don't feel I got anywhere near the value of the money spent had I been able to get the full experience I had to leave at the stated end time of the tour to pick up my kids from daycare, though we were only mid-way through the tour. Nevertheless, we tasted and enjoyed a variety of blends brewed methodically before our eyes by highly skilled staff, all of which was a valuable learning experience to me as a long term resident of Colombia.
To benefit more fully from the cost of this tour, be sure to arrive early and to not have immediate plans following the scheduled end of the tour. This is a tour to be savored and enjoyed!
