Great Experience! - Had a great tour through the village and learnt about the local community! Then we saw the agricultural fields and the coffee plantation. We also learnt a lot about how a cup of coffee is produced. Richard, our guide, explained everything very well and was very communicative.

Awesome experience - Overall - this was fantastic. Our guide Samuel was wonderful. He took us through his hillside village of 7000 people. He showed us butcher shops, several churches, stores, the courthouse, his home, gardens, family. He was very knowledgable and tried very hard to teach us about his culture, way of life, etc. We walked about 4.2 miles. Easy walk. Special lunch and coffee making factory tour. Very glad we did this. Fun, educational, good exercise. 😀😀

A lucky find. - The guide, Samuel, showed us the reality of coffee farming (as well as other small-scale farming) on an excellent walking tour through the area (including a village) around the coffee farms and roastery. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. This was a nearly perfect length (five or six hours including lunch) on our second day in Arusha (and Tanzania). He's articulate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and energetic. Give this one a try; you won't regret it.

Coffee farming 101 - We started with a tour of a Lutheran church built in the 1800's by Germans. It was simple and functional and interesting and beautiful. The walk from the church to the coffee farm was somewhat uphill on a dirt lane. Be prepared if it's a hot, dry day. The coffee farmer took us around his farm and educated us on every step involved in coffee farming. We hiked down a path through trees that was uneven. Well worth it but be prepared for a hike. We passed several villagers' homes to arrive at a beautiful home of a Scandinavian woman and her African husband where we were served a family-style lunch of delicious local dishes. It was way more than any of us could eat. We were able to buy coffee and handmade items. It was a great way to learn and see the local culture.

Creative way to learn about coffee plantation in Arusha - We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Dickson our guide was very thorough in his explanation and descriptions. We had a long walk through the village and had a beautiful lunch at the end. We met the farmer who walked us through his plantation and explained how they farmer without using chemicals. Very impressive.

Village life and coffee - Walk through the village and visiting a smal scale coffee farm was a very good cultural experience. Interaction with local children during the walk, insight view of local life. The tour ends with delicous lunch, coffee tasting and the option to buy fair-trade coffee. Great to activity to start a tour in Tanzania.

Close-up view of Tanzanian village life and coffee business - Good opportunity to experience a Tanzanian village and the farmers who grow coffee. Visiting the coffee farmer and the roasting facility was a good way to understand the whole process. Our guides were so knowledgeable and nice to be with. Highly recommend.

Incredible cultural experience!!! - We loved the coffee walk, especially our wonderful guide Samwel! It was a lovely experience - interesting, educational and fun! Samwel was an amazing host, spending time taking us through the village, explaining some local customs, touring the farm and coffee factory. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and the company and conversation were fantastic. (Covid update - Samwel is vaccinated and wore a mask the entire car ride so we all felt very safe)

Bean to cup - On February 24 we did the coffee tour with lunch with 4 people. Samwel was our excellent guide. We started in the village. Visited the church, local court and walked through the coffee farms. Samwel explained a lot about the process of growing coffee, but also about the local customs. We enjoyed a lot. After the walk we had a delicious lunch and of course tasted the various coffees. Last we visited the factory. We had a very nice day!
