    Excellent tour

    Very good tour, all well organized. We were picked up at the hotel at the agreed time, the meals we had during the day were very delicious. They cared about many details that made the trip very pleasant. And far and away the best was the guide Alex who handled the topics very well and cared to keep us comfortable throughout the tour. Fully recommended.

    Response from the operator: ¡Hola Camila! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que te sentiste súper atendida durante el recorrido y que tuviste una experiencia agradable con Parche Cachaco; desde el transporte, la guianza, la alimentación y todos los detalles en el medio. Siempre nos esforzamos para que nuestros visitantes vivan la mejor experiencia posible durante su estadía en Bogotá. Gracias por tu recomendación y esperamos volverte a ver.

    NOT an English Speaking tour ; did not follow itinerary

    This tour had many problems and was very disorganized; it was improvised every step of the way. Keep in mind : we had a manager of this tour company with us on the tour in addition to the driver and the guide. 1. Pick up was half an hour late (pretty standard with these tours.) However, we got to the plantation four hours later than on the itinerary. 2. When we finally got to town, we missed the tour we were supposed to go on at 11am and had to wait until 2pm for the next one. We did not "enjoy typical snacks" in the town and went straight to lunch. 3. Lunch food was good. 4. Plantation tour: this was the best and worst part of the whole experience. This plantation is absolutely stunning, beautiful views and many exotic plants. HOWEVER. The guide from the plantation itself speaks no English, so our guide was supposed to translate for us. Our guide spoke absolutely minimal English, definitely not at the level to conduct these types of tours. For instance, he didn't know the words "dry" "roast" "shell", and many others which are critical to understand the process. He kept asking a bilingual person on our tour to translate for him - what?? It was very upsetting to pay so much money for this tour to get this level of English. 5. We did not go to the Museum of Gold, but to a different random Cafe. This was a good tasting and latte art demonstration. The people at the Cafe spoke much better English than the guide. Overall, this was very stressful and frustrating. I recommend just hiring a translator and a cab to take you directly to the plantation, as it will be much faster and cheaper. It should only be about 1.5 hour drive and the tour at the place itself is much cheaper. This plantation is located in a safe area.

    Response from the operator: Hi Laura & Mariia, First of all, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We welcome all sort of feedback since it helps you see things that you might not realize due to bias or something of that sort. However, let us address each point you've made. Second, it's a pity that due to the reasons mentioned here, the itinerary wasn't met as supposed to and you didn't feel comfortable. Everything that Parche Cachaco Tours wants for its visitors is to be happy, and have a memorable experience. (Check out our other dozens of reviews) 1. Upon booking, I asked you for the exact location. You said it was Calle 187#45-57 nearby Centro Comercial Santafé, but it turned out to be wrong. It was actually Calle 187#57-45. So, it logically follows that it's going to take some time to (1) figure out the actual meeting point and then (2) get there (over 40 minutes). The guide took a photo of the actual meeting point to ensure that perhaps it had been my fault. No, it wasn't. I still have the conversation via WhatsApp with the wrong pickup details you provided on May 11, 1:38p.m—just in case TripAdvisor's team need/want to see it, or anyone who's curious. [A] Therefore, it cannot be said that it was improvised. 2. Interestingly enough, you didn't mention your friend had a stomach issue. Of course, it's going to take even more time to (1) find her a restroom somewhere by the road and then (2) wait until she felt better. Our manager asked if you wanted to eat some snacks and you said no; you had bought some on your own and said those were enough. As you said, the next tour at the plantation starts at 2 pm. So, why not taking lunch first to save time? Otherwise, it would've been at 4:15 pm or so. [B] Therefore, it cannot be said it was disorganized or that we left out something included in the price. Besides, you were offered some cake at the Cafe in Bogota, and you said no anyway. The others did enjoy the cake! 4. The plantation does have a bilingual tour guide. However, he's not available on Mondays (May 13). Although, you're right in saying those are critical words to have an in-depth understanding of the process. Does that mean that someone who has been speaking English for the entire day is defective at the language? 5. The Gold Museum closes on Mondays and Cafe San Alberto is located inside the facility. So, we took you to the other San Alberto Cafe located in Usaquen, which is way closer to the place you were staying at and were picked up. I mean, the correct one. [C] Therefore, it cannot be said that it was a "random Cafe." Very surprisingly, everyone was able to understand the stressing situation at the beginning—given by the fact that you provided the wrong information, which caused the issue, and had an unpleasant attitude during the tour. We all tried to contribute with a positive attitude; including the Canadian traveler who was on this tour as well, except you. I apologize if my argument sounds a little gruff, but I can't allow a negative review stain the name/brand we've worked hard to build so far, especially if it's been put forward out of context. Best regards, Miguel Q. Sales & Marketing Department

    Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic cost?

    +

    Prices start at $132 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Bogotá is not rushed.

    Is Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic?

    +

    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 Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic?

    +

    Around 2 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 Bogotá 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 Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic 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 Bogotá 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 Bogotá?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. 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 Bogotá?

    +

    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 Bogotá?

    +

    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 Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic?

    +

    Included: Entrance Fees; Hotel Pickup & Drop-off (Air-conditioned Vehicle); Farm´s guidance service; and Medical insurance. Not included: Gratuities (optional); Any private expenses; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 63 listed pickup locations in and around Bogotá.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic?

    +

    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.

    Is Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Hands-On Tour to Coffee Plantation from Bogota Option basic if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Bogotá. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
