1.Nairobi Coffee Farm and Factory Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 87 reviews · from $98Our pick

Visit Fairview Coffee Estate outside Nairobi, tour the farm-to-factory process, taste multiple Kenyan coffee grades, with hotel transfers included.

“An Essential tour for anybody who likes coffee and have half a day to spend outside the city. The driver/guide Moses and the local guide in the farm Irin were very helpful and provided an excellent service. Highly recommended ! My only remark is that there is a $30 fee for the farm, which is not included in the price. Although it is mentioned in the "What's Included" section, one would usually expect it to be part of the price, not in the details.”

10.FAIRVIEW COFFEE FARM DAY TOUR

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · from $82

A half-day Fairview Coffee Farm tour from Nairobi, with a guided walk, processing stops, and coffee tasting with cookies.

“This particular package is marketed as a coffee farm tour. In reality this is ONLY transportation to and from the farm. Be sure to read the "EXCLUSIONS", which I admittedly did not. The farm tour is separate, and was enjoyable - but you can just show up and pay yourself to Fairview. We paid $90.00 USD for this transportation, when an UBER would have cost us $20.00 USD. Don't be fooled by this write up - this is NOT a tour - this is simply transportation. And the drinks provided are a simple bottle of water. The driver was polite - but it was DEFINTELY NOT WORTH IT. Just take…”

“La visite était vraiment super et James nous a parfaitement expliqué le fonctionnement de la plantation. En revanche, le chauffeur qui devait venir nous récupérer avait 1h30 de retard ce qui nous a fait louper la visite de groupe et forcé a prendre le tour privé 20$ plus cher par personne si on ne voulait pas attendre 3h sur place pour la prochaine visite. Sur le retour le chauffeur nous a proposé de nous emmener manger dans un lieu typique Kenyan car nous avons passer la journée sans manger, il s'est avéré que c'était un scam. Nous avons payé plus de 10$ par personne et le chauffeur a mangé a…”
