Transport cost and timeliness ruined a good tour
While the Farm visit was good I thought that TripAdvisor did not represent the tour appropriately as we not only paid a fee for transport that was over the top but an additional fee for the farm tour. On top of this my driver was an hour late for pickup and we missed the first address from the farm operator- a very poor start to an otherwise good tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the delay in your pickup. The location of the pickup hotel, combined with Nairobi’s traffic conditions, contributed to the delay. However, we understand that your time is valuable, and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused. We appreciate your patience and understanding. We will continue working to improve our pickup coordination and communication to provide our guests with a smoother and more enjoyable experience. Thank you for choosing UST Kenya, and we hope to have another opportunity to serve you better in the future.

Coffee Farm perfect, Value with tour operator and trip advisor very bad
The coffee tour is fantastic but the entrance fee is 30 US Dollar, which is worth it. Unfortunately Trip Advisor took another 50 US Dollar just to drive us there, not even a pick up from our stay but we had to take UBER to a hotel downtown Nairobi, we felt total rip off. Please guys, just take an Uber to the coffee farm and save that 50 US Dollar drive which can cost you 12 Dollar. I am very unhappy about this experience and i will consider to never book trip advisor again
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the coffee tour, but we sincerely regret that you were unhappy with the transportation costs and pickup arrangements. We understand your frustration and apologize that the experience did not meet your expectations. Your feedback is important to us, and we will review how the transportation details and costs are communicated to ensure greater clarity for future guests.

A Highlight of Our Trip: Fairview Coffee Farm
Our visit to Fairview Coffee Farm was an absolute highlight. Raymond, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of coffee — not just in Kenya, but around the world. He made the tour engaging and interactive, and genuinely welcomed our questions throughout. The farm itself was beautiful, and Raymond shared some great points of interest about its sustainable, integrated farming methods. He also spoke about the farm's commitment to no child labor and its support for the local economy. He walked us through the entire coffee-making process, from plant to cup, explaining each stage of growing and production along the way. The coffee tasting at the end was a wonderful treat, and having the opportunity to purchase Fairview coffee to take home made it even better. This excursion was truly one of the best parts of our trip — highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your Fairview Coffee Farm experience was a highlight of your trip. Raymond will be especially happy to know that you enjoyed his knowledge, interactive approach, and passion for coffee. We’re also glad you appreciated learning about the farm’s sustainable practices and the journey from plant to cup. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Kenya for another memorable experience!

A Coffee Morning I Didn't Expect to Love
I booked the Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience with Safarilinks Africa because I wanted something different from the usual Nairobi sightseeing. I wasn’t expecting a coffee tour to become one of my favorite memories of the trip, but it did. The farm was peaceful, green, and beautifully organized. Our guide explained the coffee-growing process in a way that was easy to follow, from the plants in the fields to harvesting and processing. I especially enjoyed learning how much work goes into producing a single cup. The tasting session was the highlight for me. We were able to appreciate the differences in aroma and flavor instead of simply drinking coffee. The experience felt relaxed rather than rushed. What impressed me most was the attention to small details. Safarilinks Africa made the experience feel personal, informative, and enjoyable. I left with a much greater appreciation for Kenyan coffee and plenty of stories to tell when I got home.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your Fairview Coffee Farm experience became one of your favorite memories in Nairobi. It’s great to know you enjoyed learning about the coffee-growing process and especially the tasting session. We truly appreciate your kind words about Safarilinks Africa and look forward to welcoming you again for another memorable experience in Kenya!

A Family Experience Beyond the Typical Tourist Stops
Our family wanted to spend part of our Nairobi visit doing something educational but still enjoyable for everyone. The Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience arranged through Safarilinks Africa turned out to be an excellent choice. The children were fascinated by the coffee plants and kept asking questions about how the beans eventually become the coffee people drink. Instead of giving us a long technical lecture, the guide explained everything through simple examples and stories. Walking around the farm was particularly pleasant. The surroundings gave us a welcome break from the busy city, and there were plenty of interesting things for the children to observe. The tasting was another memorable part of the visit. Even those of us who aren't serious coffee drinkers found something interesting about the experience. We appreciated how smoothly everything was handled. There was enough time to enjoy ourselves without feeling like we were constantly watching the clock. It was one of those family outings where everyone came away having learned something.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and that the children found the experience both fun and educational. It’s great to know you enjoyed the farm, coffee tasting, and relaxed atmosphere. We truly appreciate you choosing Safarilinks Africa and hope to welcome you and your family again in Kenya!

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience cost?
+
Prices start at $10 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 Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience take?
+
Plan for about 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 Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 40 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 Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience?
+
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 Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience?
+
Around 14 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nairobi Fairview Coffee Farm Tour and Tasting experience 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.
