Coffee tours · AROUND THE WORLD
The good lunch experiences run small and fill early. Here are 9 to lock in first, what each includes, and how they differ once you are standing there.
Spend 6 to 7 hours at Materuni Village near Moshi, walking through coffee and banana farms to a tall waterfall, learning about Chagga life, and helping roast and grind coffee with songs and dancing. Guides such as Emmanuel, Mangi, Sylvester, and Manaseh have led this day, which ends with a hot local lunch and views toward Mount Kilimanjaro.
Spend about four hours at Kingstone Asilia Family Farm near Arusha, learning coffee production from planting and picking to roasting and tasting. You’ll also see medicinal plants, join traditional songs and dancing, enjoy a vegetarian lunch, and visit Kikuletwa Hotsprings and Themi Falls Leisure Park.
“If you only have time for one tour in Arusha this is it. THE BEST Not only do you learn about coffee, you also learn about the local culture and share a great meal.”
Spend eight private hours around Materuni village with an English-speaking guide. Walk through Chagga farmland to an 80-meter waterfall, eat a hot local lunch, then grind, roast, and brew coffee with songs and dancing. Pickup is available in Moshi, Arusha, or at Kilimanjaro and Arusha airports.
“We had an amazing time on our trip to Maturuni Village! Our guide was always ready to explain the things we saw along the way. The waterfall was incredibly beautiful and powerful. We could have spent hours just watching it and listening to the sound of the water. The path to the waterfall was full of lush vegetation, exactly what a tropical forest looks like. The hike was easy, and it was totally worth it. Our Swahili lunch was tasty and full of vegetables, and it was easy to digest! The coffee experience was the best we've ever had! We danced and sang with the plantation workers while we ground…”
Ride an ATV from Nosara through dirt roads and jungle trails to a swimming waterfall, then climb to Juan’s family-run organic coffee farm. Guides such as Junior, Abraham, and Juan share local knowledge, fresh coffee, fruit, and a homemade lunch overlooking the hills and coast. Allow about six hours and wear sturdy shoes.
“The ATV experience to the waterfall and coffee farm was one of our highlights of the trip. I traveled with my mother and 10 year old twin boys. The ride up to the coffee farm allowed us to see local life as well as beautiful views from the hills. The coffee tour was educational and held the attention of my children. Juan is the owner of the farm and gives the tour. Meeting him and his family was a highlight. I recommend wearing sturdy shoes for the hike to the waterfall. You hike through a rocky riverbed. I wore Teva water sandals, which were fine. Overall, it was a day…”
You’ll leave Medellín at 8:30 am for a coffee farm near San Jeronimo. Expect a scenic setting, an explanation of Colombian coffee from bean to cup, tastings in several presentations, and lunch at the farm. The group is capped at 15, and the half-day outing lasts about 6 hours and 30 minutes.
“The tour was great. Very scenic location. Learned so much about coffee and Colombia. The lunch was amazing. Thanks”

“We had an excellent breakfast tour in Trastevere with Livia. It gave us the opportunity to try more authentic cafes and restaurants and allowed us to get our bearings in the area. We have already returned to two of her recommendations. She was a delightful host who gave us so many different recommendations, including day trips. We even popped into a church. It was lovely to meet and chat with someone brought up in the area and with a good historical knowledge. She explained more about the Jewish settlements and why Rome had such an early Jewish population… anyway it was a tour which was much for than breakfast. Thank…”
