The best tours are compact, well-organized 7-hour experiences that cover the essentials without tourist traps. These hands-on visits show you exactly how coffee goes from the bush to your morning cup.
I’m particularly fond of tours that include the working farms outside town – they’re the real deal, where you’ll meet actual coffee farmers and see the time-tested methods still used today. The inclusion of transportation is practical, and many finish with a relaxing soak in the local thermal springs.
