“The tour guide and he also a driver was terrible. He didn't know the directions. We got lost 4 times on the way there and on the way back. It was my Birthday. I had made a restaurant reservation later in this evening but we all ended up car sick and didn't make it on time to the restaurant. He got lost with driving and took almost 3 hours to get back to Medellin from the farm. Flower farm was just a house with a garden in their yards not a professional farm as we expected. The owner of the house was very nice and sweet.”
