What a fantastic place. We arrived after a tour in Nyungwe, on our way back to Kigali and had a delicious cup of coffee, followed by a full tour of their growing, harvesting, production and export process. Our guide was kind and very knowledgeable about everything we had questions about. Highly recommend this company for not only wonderful coffee but also a fun tour for those looking to understand more about Rwanda’s local coffee production!

Incredible experience in the coffee plantations, Éric was an awesome guide and has precious knowledge ! He can speak English fluently which is highly appreciated. The tour is not limited to coffee, but inclues interesting Rwandan stories and cultural knowledge. Eric is very patient and careful towards the visitors. P.S: I would recommend to wear hiking shoes as the tour involve hiking on the hills.

This building play roles in reception and meeting place of coffee tour. The tours hold two times per day, AM10:00 PM2:00. it takes 3 hours. This tour's contents are walking around farmer, watching any machine about coffee, demonstrating a traditional roasting. With explanations of guides. If you take part in the tour, you can know well about coffee, origin, traditional making method. This facility is an important in learning about the local specialty of Huye, coffee beans. 【in Sep 2017】

We did the coffee experience tour. We had a wonderful time. Selena ( the guide) was very friendly. We leaned a lot about how the coffee is produced from plant to a nice cup of coffee. We highly recommend this place.
