I LOVE COFFEE
I love coffee, so I had to do the Coffee Tasting tour with Laura! I had been to a plantation near Medellin, but did not find this tour repetitive. I loved finding the flavour notes in the coffee, learning about the coffee regions of the world, and specifically where our coffee came from in Columbia. We did two cafés that were each run by the family of the plantation and were from different regions. The first was in a beautiful setting and the coffee was pleasant. A good every day coffee. The second coffee tasting was so detailed by the staff, from pouring, measuring and tasting. I even stayed after to have a latte and journal! Laura was a great guide and knew her coffee. I really learned about how to read labels on coffee bags, checking for the kind of bean, is it mixed, when it was picked, etc. The QR codes on the bag gave very detailed information. I was the only client and Laura took me around the communities and telling me about their history, and pointed out some Embassies. It was a bit of a distance, but worth it. Maybe doing one in the Candelaria region would be good. I found a coffee shop that only used beans from Huila the next day!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to tell us about all the aspects of the workshop you enjoyed. We are so glad you are now equipped to choose, understand and enjoy your coffee on a whole new level. Happy slurping!

Amazing experience around coffee
We learned so much more about coffee than we expected, about coffee culture, history, growing regions and brewing methods and its effect on taste. The tasting itself is incredible, more like a wine tasting, with fragrance, aroma, body and flavors. We also enjoyed Camilas explanations tremendously
Response from the operator: We are so glad that you enjoyed learning about Colombian coffee with us and that you enjoyed the coffees you tasted. And yes, Camila has a gift when it comes to teaching coffee! -Karen

Bogota Coffee House Tour
Wonderful walking tour of three Bogota coffee houses with Camila. She shared her knowledge of Colombian coffee with me, I managed to understand and define the complexities of Colombian coffee and finally understand why I like my coffee served in a cold cup. This is a wonderful, relaxed way to taste and see Bogota.
Response from the operator: Thank you for that great review. We're so glad that you enjoyed the workshop and that it helped you define what is in a great cup of coffee. And yes, Camila is a skilled teacher! Happy slurping!

Excellent workshop! Super recommended
A friend of mine traveled to Bogotá before and recommended that I give this workshop a shot. The workshop price is good in my opinion. I was expecting more people to join us, as the workshop is open for reservation, but I was the only one this time. And I have to say that it was super interesting. My guide, Camila, was super helpful and did an awesome job telling the story of coffee, how important it is in Colombia, and guiding me through the different coffee types, how to navigate this sea of flavors that I wasn't aware existed before. The duration was excellent; we went a bit over the scheduled time, but I was so interested that it was such a joy! Camila did a great job introducing herself, ensuring that I was having a good time, enjoying the workshop, and learning! I would recommend doing this either alone or with friends or family. I suppose that having multiple people would make things even more fun!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your feedback! Yes, Camila is an excellent teacher who loves coffee. And you did have the rare privilege of being the only one to book that day - we're so glad you enjoyed the personalized attention. Thank you for learning about Colombian coffee with us. Happy slurping!

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.
How much does Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 149 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 Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota?
+
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 Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota?
+
Around 52 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Specialty Coffee Workshops in Bogota 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.
