Great experience supporting a great organisationn - A great experience getting to participate in making the coffee from start to finish, especially the grinding and roasting in the traditional ways. Reuben was a fantastic guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. It's also great to get to this and support such a great organisation at the same time. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to do a coffee plantation visit.

Great experience and even better as you support an amazing project helping kids in need - Had a great time with Reuben and Rachel, learned everything about coffee from harvesting to roasting etc and had the chance to meet lovely kids who live in the Happy Family Children Village, a project by The Small Things. By choosing this tour you automatically support this great project which we can only recommend by heart!

Great discovery! - Had a great time discovering the process from the plant to the drink. Reuben was very knowledgeable not only about coffee but also about his tribe and plants around us. I arranged pick up /drop off with him as I didn't have a car.

Unforgettable experience - We booked the coffe tour with them and we also visited the organization. Reuben, our guide, was great! He organized the transfer from our hotel for us and he took really good care of us. Making your own coffee and drinking it is a nice experience, but the best thing is the people we met over there and the great things they are doing for the local children and families.
