It was our first time on a coffee farm and one of our first times on horses. From meeting in the morning we felt immediately comfortable with the guide, Celia, and the other guests. The first few moments on the horses took a little getting used to but the guides were very aware of everyone and quick to step in with a calming hand or words. The farm is absolutely beautiful and this was an amazing way to see it, from down by the waterfall all the way up to ‘the big tree’. Can’t recommend this tour or coffee farm more highly! If you don’t want to ride horses just coming for a walking tour or tasting will definitely be worth it. Thank you to Celia and all the others who made for a wonderful day!
