So unique and so authentic- not a tourist trap! We learned a lot about the history of the close and the coffee trade. James was amazing!

Our guide was definitely the best part of our tour. A very knowledgable and friendly lady with a cosy presence. Has a wide range of knowledge about various topics and was happy to talk about other aspects of history but always naturally came back to the subjects relating to the coffee tour. 5 stars!

Fabulous tour. Just the right amount of information and humour. Two free drinks (even tea!). Really interesting and engaging. One of the few tours that I’ve not been bored at some point. Didn’t walk too far but covered the best bits above and below ground!

We actually were a very small group and it was pouring outside, but it was a very fun tour nontheless, perfect for everyone who enjoys a cup of coffee, interesting stories at 10 in the morning (actually perfect timing for me) and to know some details about the city you are in.
