    Nope - the 3 stars are generous!!

    David was a well meaning young man, however immature. The trip itself is WAY overpriced for what you get. There is no stay at coffee farms and a lot of wasted time. Day one we were picked up and drove to the Occidente bridge, which was nice. Then brought to our hotel in downtown Santa Fe (a 3 star at best hotel), not a coffee farm stay as promised in the write up , at about 1:30 pm. We amused ourselves the rest of the day, then met with David again in the evening for a short walk around town. The museum that is listed in the tour is closed on Wednesdays (something that should be known when booking the tour). Day two was driving to Jardin and stopping at a coffee tour. The coffee tour was one of the best parts of the whole trip. Then dropped off at our hotel in Jardin by 2:30 and left to ourselves for the remainder of the day. I really have no idea what I paid $1200 for on this trip as the hotels together were about $250, gas $80 for all three days and the time of the driver. He drove like he was auditioning for Nascar and when he was told this he dismissed us and said he drove good. When we had concerns he simply justified why it was his way and made no corrections. His car had troubles (tire, oil, coolant) and we often did not feel safe. Lastly, the description of this trip was not what we got and we had to work hard to convince our guide that we wanted to go to Jerico. He tried hard to justify why it was a waste of time and had long winding roads and would just be a lot of time in the car. We enjoyed Jerico and wish more attention was paid overall to customer satisfaction. For the money we spent it should have included more tours options or food. Overall, would not recommend without serious changes and attention to customer care.

    Response from the operator: Dear Anne_S, Thanks for the feedback, we value those words and corrective action is taken now in order to make sure everything goes well for future customers. Feel free to use promo code MCS and save 10% on future bookings.. Look forward to your soon return! Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®

    Coffee tour

    Can not say how much we enjoyed this tour. From the towns we visited to the two plantations we stayed at. The whole tour was an amazing experience and Julio our excellent guide and driver arranged us to do a horseback tour of Jerico and the hills. I commend Julio on his English skills, his knowledge of the history or the area and his passion for Colombia. I had many people question why would I go to Colombia and I have had just an amazing time. I will be back very soon.

    Response from the operator: Dear paul g, Thanks for these nice words, is our best reward. Great to hear you have enjoyed the overnight stay at the coffee zone, the real Colombia. Please keep us posted on your next visit! Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®

    Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,424 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Medellín is not rushed.

    Is Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation?

    +

    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 Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation?

    +

    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 Medellín 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 Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation 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 Medellín 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 Medellín?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. 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 Medellín?

    +

    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 Medellín?

    +

    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 Medellín: 3 Days Colonial Coffee Trail w/private transportation?

    +

    Included: 2 nights accommodation; Bottled water; Driver/guide; Breakfast; and Tea and coffee. Not included: Gratuities; Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); and Food and drinks, unless specified. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
