    Nice tour, great meal

    Nice overview of the coffee farming and production facilities. Guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Great lunch provided, one of the best meals I had while in Kenya. Only downside was the cost of this tour booking through TripAdvisor -- another person on the tour booked directly with the farm (albeit without transportation) for far less than half of what I paid through TripAdvisor.

    Response from the operator: Dear great Client, The Kenya bush expeditions family is excited to read this wonderful review. Thanks for letting us know that the guide was knowledgeable and perfect to his duties. We feel greatly complimented for the great food you enjoyed at the coffee farm. For sure, we serve the best food on this Tour! We will be more than happy to welcome you to our other tours!

    Won’t recommend

    The driver was late. Then, we realised he didn’t know where we were going- he was bringing us to the tea farm when we booked for coffee farm. Need to do a U turn. We were very late to the coffee farm. We missed the 1st part of the visit! No excuse received and or refund received from the tour operator. Highly not recommend this tour operator.

    Response from the operator: Dear madam, Much apologies for the confusion that happened during your tour. You were picked for tea farm because we had similar booking for tea tour in the same hotel which was last minute booking and we had to plan quick pick up. After this confusion, your vehicle was changed to tea farm, and vice versa. Much Apologies and this was accidental and not intended. We have put enough measures to make sure this never happens again.

    Excellent Tour

    The tour company picked us up promptly and the driver was very nice. We felt extremely safe and in good company. Karunguru farm tour is worth every penny. The family that owns the farm is very kind, generous and full of stories. The tour was very informative and provided a wealth of knowledge from coffee, to everyday life in Kenya.

    Response from the operator: Dear Winter, We are glad and humbled by your great review. For sure, we do our best to make sure you are safe in all our tours. You booked your coffee farm tour with us and it was great to learn the agricultural history of Kenya. It is wonderful to hear that the tour was informative and rich in history of Kenya coffee plantation. Thank you very much and welcome back .

    Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

    How much does Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Nairobi is not rushed.

    Is Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City?

    +

    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 Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City?

    +

    Around 1 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 Nairobi 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 Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City 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 Nairobi 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 Nairobi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. 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 Nairobi?

    +

    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 Nairobi?

    +

    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 Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City?

    +

    Included: Light refreshments; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; Bottled water; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 642 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French 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 Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City?

    +

    Is Coffee Farm and Factory Tour from Nairobi City wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
