Coffee Farm is Great - History Lesson is Even Better - We're big coffee fans, so thought this would be a neat trip to see how the coffee is harvested, prepared, etc. It definitely showed us that, but the history lessons we received here were more valuable than anything. The farm is about a 30 minute drive from downtown, so with the 4 hour tour, you are getting about 3 hours at the location. Beautiful location, very interesting info about coffee and the history of coffee in Kenya. Our guide was in credible (I forgot to write it down, but I think her name was Cynthia). She grew up on a coffee farm, used to have to carry buckets of water 2km to/from the farm as a young girl, and is now at university. We didn't see other guides/tours there, so I'm guessing she is their main tour guide. Hearing her explain the history of the coffee industry in Kenya was such an amazing, eye-opening experience. I would highly recommend the tour.

Enjoyable and fun place - It was a great experience for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the coffee farm. We got a very informative guide. Sampling and testing of coffee was the most interesting part. A very nice way to spend your few hours.

Great tour at the coffee farm - It was a great experience for us. Douglas was very helpful and respectful. Ann, our tour guide at the coffee farm, showcased her expertise brilliantly. We got to see the entire process, including seeing the plantation, the sorting machine in the factory, drying process and finally the testing of different flavors

Worth every penny. - The tour was amazing. Calvin picked us promptly and drove safely on the busy streets of Nairobi. He explained and gave us alot of information about kenya and its cultures. Upon arriving the farm we were recieved by Ann who introduced us to avery beautiful garden and served us with coffee before the tour started. The whole process was incredible and interesting.
