Diego was the BEST! - Three friends and I took a day trip with Diego to paraglide, explore Guatapé, and walk up the peñon. Diego was knowledgeable, considerate, and extremely accommodating. His English was also amazing which was a huge plus. HIGHLY recommend asking for Diego!

Nice experience! - Of course! Here's a modified version of the review: --- We had a very nice day with Fabian. He is a smart, open man who makes everyone feel safe with him. He knows a lot about his country and city and likes to share that knowledge. Ask him a lot of questions! The paragliding was very nice with a beautiful view and a great feeling. Then we drove to Guatapé. The drive took a while, but it was very cozy in the car. Along the way we have been able to taste all kinds of Colombian specialties. At the end of the day we climbed the El Peñón de Guatapé, which again offered a beautiful view. After the climb it was time to go back home. During the ride we had nice conversations with Fabian, mainly about music. Upon arrival at our Airbnb he had another surprise for us. It was a wonderful day and we want to thank Fabian again for that.

Fun day trip with Fabian - Fabian was excellent and patient with us the entire trip. He made sure we had a great time and took us on a fun trip! One of the most fun things we did in Colombia. The paragliding was very fun, the restaurant we stopped at was great, it was a great exploration of the city and we never felt rushed. It was a great dive into the history of Guatape and the culture that surrounds the city. Overall an amazing experience and we would highly recommend

Paragliding in Medellin - It was amazing from start to finish. Diego was timely and attentive. We arrived amd were immediately helped. The flight was OFF THE CHARTS and the pilots ( David amd Bryan) were amazing. Diego then took us for lunch and a safe return home. HIGHLY recommend this company.

Paragliding and Guatape are a MUST DO while in Colombia! - The paragliding plus Guatape tour was the highlight of my 7 day trip in Colombia!! If you have one day to fill or are thinking what you should do for a day, this is the activity! They pick you up from your hotel or wherever you’re staying so there’s no need to worry about getting somewhere in the morning. Be sure to download whatsapp and your guide as well as the company well message you to confirm your activity the day before. Diego was our guide for the day and he was so great! My Spanish is super weak but Diego’s English is really awesome and he really helped in every way he could during the day. We felt at ease with him the whole day, he was very communicative about all the activities giving us updates on paragliding (we were waiting for some morning rain to clear out) and checking on us while we ordered some lunch at the restaurant near the paragliding spot. Paragliding was AMAZING! The views were unmatched and the pilots are experts at comforting you if you have any nerves about the process. This was my first time paragliding so I was a bit anxious but everyone from Diego to my pilot was great at reminding me to relax and just enjoy my time in the air. My pilot even took selfies and photos of the waterfall as we flew past! After paragliding Diego took us to Guatape, showing and explain the city to us on the way. We got to the rock and made the climb quickly and Diego took us to the city center/square where he walked us through the town showing us all the beautiful art, local cafes, and even explaining food/treats we saw walking by. We were in a rush to get back to Medellin for a dinner reservation at 7:30 but Diego made sure to plan timely after paragliding to make sure we got the full tour of the city with plenty of photos for memories (he’s a great photographer btw) ! You definitely won’t regret this activity it may even turn into your favorite day of your trip in Colombia!
