Colombian Coffee Class
Great experience! Learned a lot about coffee from the origin, history, processes, and in smelling and tasting. We had a great time
via Viator
Awesome and educational tour!
We had a wonderful and very educational session with Manuel. We were so excited to learn all about coffee, its history, how coffee tasting and roasting is done here and how to do the tastings. We were lucky our session was just the two of us. It was a quick walk from the port. Highly recommend doing the master class tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! 😊 We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed your session with Manuel. We’re especially glad you appreciated how close we are to the port, making it easy to visit us. It was a pleasure having such a great session with you. We hope to welcome you again soon! ☕✨

a great coffee experience
Manuel, our host, is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about the process of coffee, how it's harvest and roasted., etc. If you want to learn about the flavor profiles, how to rate them, it is a great experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Manuel. It’s great to know you learned about the full coffee process, from harvesting to roasting, as well as how to understand and rate flavor profiles. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another coffee experience! ☕✨

Thanks Manuel!
Manuel was fantastic. You could tell he was excited about coffee as we were. Really a fun learning experience. Aromas, flavor profiles, and different coffee bean treatments and roastings.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cartagena.
How much does Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cartagena usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cartagena is not rushed.
Is Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cartagena, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cartagena can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cartagena and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cartagena within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cartagena?
+
On Outty we rank every Cartagena experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Historic Center & Getsemaní Shared Tour in Cartagena, Cartagena Antigua & Barrio Getsemani group with audio system, Cartagena VIP Boat Tour: Rosario Islands & Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cartagena?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cartagena?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee?
+
Included: Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee?
+
We will meet at the cafeteria where we will carry out the experience. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Coffee beyond the drink: master's degree in Colombian coffee if the weather is bad?
