Sabaneta
The coffee farm experience takes place in a beautiful family farm that produces around 2 tons of coffee a year with 14.000 coffee plants. When we get there, we have a traditional delicious lunch to have energy to start learning everything about the coffee production. The coffee expert gives you a thorough context about the coffee industry to have better understanding about what you are going to see in the tour. Once the introduction is over, we invite you to plant a coffee seed and to try the bean as a fruit. Then, we take you to the plantation to pick some coffee beans from the trees and then process it step by step until is roasted and ground. You get the chance to try coffee in different brewing methods so you can differentiate the flavor notes provided by each of these devices as we explain where in the mouth you should put the coffee to taste it. In conclusion, this coffee experience is extremely complete and an unforgettable one that you should not miss out.

Great way to see some highlights
This tour was a great see some iconic attractions in Medellin. Our guide Erika made the experience even better with her sense of humor and keeping the tour entertaining and informative at the same time. I'm also something of a coffee conisur after doing this tour as well😁

Incredible personalized tours
We did Communa 13 with city tour on day 1 and the coffee farm tour the next day. Erika was the guide for Communa 13 and she was absolutely fantastic. She grew up in Communa 13 and her personal experiences and knowledge made it such a great tour with many family stories. The Coffee tour was guided by Andres. He is a coffee connoisseur and his relationship with the farm and his years of experience made it another great tour. Both were private tours where the guide came to pick us up in a nice suv and it was just my wife and I on the entire tour. MDT is the premier operator of custom personalized tours and the cost is well worth the experience. I highly recommend them for any tours in Medellin.

Fantastic!
The tour guide went out of his way to ensure we had an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommend Alejandro who was extremely knowledgeable of the coffee industry. We had 9 in our group and everyone was very happy. The lunch was great, planned right in the middle of both tours.

Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm
Laura was absolutely fantastic! She planned our day perfectly: we started with Comuna 13, then enjoyed lunch at a beautiful farm, and after that we continued with an amazing coffee tour. Highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and memorable experience!

And unforgettable experience! Graffiti and Cafe!
The day after we arrived in Medellín, the charismatic and extremely knowledgeable Erika from Medellin Day Trips picked us up at our hotel and took us on a private day tour to Comuna 13. As this is the neighborhood where she grew up in, she knows everyone and has big feelings for her community. To say that it was a very humbling experience is an understatement. It truly made us look at our own lives and the things we take for granted as well as what we stress about. From conflict to color. From fear to art. Comuna 13 is Medellín’s heartbeat of resilience. Also, you have to visit Chota 13’s store and cafe. You’ll see a lot of his work all over Comuna 13. The second part of our day trip was at the organic coffee farm Bosques de la Doctora in Sabaneta where we started off with a typical Colombian lunch wrapped up in a banana leaf. Muy delicioso! Here we learned all about growing coffee, the entire process from bean to cup, as well as the different methods of brewing my husband Bjorn got to try out himself. Bjorn was totally in his element. Unfortunately, after this tour, every other coffee shop or location serving coffee is ruined as Bjorn became a kind of novice as he got to experience first hand how a cup of freshly ground coffee should be brewed and taste like. Personally I don’t care for coffee, I’d rather have a good cup of cacao, matcha latte, chai or herbal tea. I did get to try tea made out of the dried coffee berries which tasted a bit like hibiscus. We learned so much and had the best fun with Erika. She is fluid in English as well if your Spanish isn’t up to par. When visiting Medellin, this tour is an absolute must for every tourist. Saludos, Melanie & Bjorn from Curaçao

Who is Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 8-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $154, above the $24 typical for similar experiences in Medellín.
How much does Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo cost?
+
Prices start at $154 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 Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 48 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 Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo?
+
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 Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo?
+
Around 17 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm Tour in Medellin | The Best Combo start and how do I get there?
+

+
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.
