Great tour, tour fee not included
The farm tour guide was very informative and funny. I enjoyed getting some steps in around the farm and learning about the coffee process, history, and some Swahili. We were under impression TripAdvisor cost covered the tour fee but we were charged separately$30 USD on site, and felt a bit ripped off.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent coffee tour at Fairview Estate. We are glad to hear that you found our tour guide informative, funny, and enjoyed learning about the farm's rich history and coffee-making process! As a tour agency, our standard packages for this experience covers transit, logistics coordination, and guiding services. The official farm entry fee collected directly by Fairview Estate is generally treated as an exclusion. Thank you.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Coffee Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Coffee Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting?
+
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 Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Coffee Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Coffee Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting 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 Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting?
+
Included: Pick up &Drop off; Admission/Entry Fee to Fairview; Professional Guide; and Coffee testing. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is Coffee Tour [Fairview Farm] With Coffee Tasting offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
