In this region, the scenery is as much a highlight as the stories your guide will share, and the flexibility of a private tour enhances that experience.

The Itinerary and What to Expect

While the exact route depends on your preferences and the guide’s suggestions, most tours focus on key highlights like coffee farms, scenic landscapes, and characteristic towns. The tour begins at a location of your choosing—your hotel, a local landmark, or a central meeting point—and ends back where you started or at a designated spot.

Your guide will be a certified professional, fluent in your language, and ready to customize the day’s pace. If you’re curious about coffee cultivation, expect to visit a coffee farm where you can see the process firsthand—from cherry to cup—and hear about Colombia’s reputation as one of the world’s premier coffee producers. One reviewer noted that the guide’s “knowledge about coffee was impressive,” adding that they learned so much about the different types of beans and roasting techniques.
