A Wonderful Coffee and Spice Plantation Experience - We recently visited a coffee plantation, and the experience was absolutely fantastic! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable about coffee and all the plantations. He was very patient, answered all our questions, and shared valuable insights in simple, easy-to-understand language, making the tour enjoyable for everyone. In addition to learning about coffee—from seeds to the process of turning them into powder—we also explored their spice plantations. It was fascinating to learn about different spices and how they are grown, which added an extra layer of interest to the tour. The property also features a restaurant that serves delicious traditional meals. My friend and I both loved the food, and it perfectly complemented the overall experience of the day. I would highly recommend this plantation visit to anyone looking to learn more about coffee, spices, and enjoy a delightful meal afterward.

Excellent - Wonderful experience. Chose tour + Vegetarian meal option for 750 Rs, which was well worth it as the meal was absolutely delicious, good portion size, clean and healthy. Our guide Mr Salim was extremely knowledgeable, patient and answered all our questions. Staff were very polite, cheerful and helpful. Coffee museum was interesting. Their pet pooch Rocky was friendly and cute too. This tour was most definitely the highlight of our trip. A must visit.

A walk to remember - coffee and spices! - The visit was an eye opener for me in certain basic aspects of coffee and spices plantation and harvesting. It was great listening to Mr Manjunath, our guide in this trip. He was quite knowledgeable and was able to answer all our queries. The Museum is one great place to visit, and finally the cup of coffee they serve is an apt end to this tour. And, by the way, the charges per person is Rs 300 only. A must see place!

Purely business model and overpriced - Not worth more than 50 or 100 rupees. They are charging 300 per person and it's purely a business model. You will surely get to see some coffee plantations and spices but I would still say it's totally a money making business
