Fantastic trip and experience - Fantastic, informative trip with a great guide Juan Carlos. Juan spoke excellent English and had a deep knowledge of all things Colombian! A very pleasant day. We left Medellin early, at 6, and would recommend this if you could manage it! Missed a lot of traffic and were alone at top of penon rock!

Great day on the outskirts of Medellin - Excellent tour visiting El Peñol with beautiful views after the effort of the 700 steps climb. Then we were in the picturesque and colorful town of Guatape, which we walked through its steep and decorated alleys where we found excellent shops to buy souvenirs, crafts and decoration items. Our guide Laura accompanied us throughout the tour providing all her knowledge and information about the places visited and the main facts that marked the history of Medellin and surroundings.

Perfect day - History, Fun and Culture - Great day with our tour guide Juan Carlos! Guatape is a must see/do if you visit Medellin. And to do it with a guide like Juan Carlos makes it all the more special. While the ascent to the top of the rock is challenging, the views make it all worthwhile! Just take your time and you will be fine! And beyond the rock, the visit to the town, and the history that Juan Carlos shared all drive and as we walked from the beginning of Colombia to modern day was fascinating and made the trip all the more special! A great day and an incredible experience!

La Piedra Del Peñol and Guatapé - We really enjoyed our day with Camilo, we started early at La Piedra del Peñol - which is advised as it gets very, very busy, then moved onto to Guatapé for lunch and a walk around the pretty streets. A great experience and fully recommended.

Guatapé with Camilo - The most memorable part was having Camilo as our tour guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. He took care of us and suggested we go earlier to beat the heavy crowds and that was a world of difference. I would recommend this excursion and Camilo to anyone who wants to visit Medellín y Guatapé.

Adventure in comfort. - My wife and I came Medellin for our 27th wedding anniversary. Took the private tour to Peñol and Guatape with Jose Carlos. He was amazing. Very knowledgeable, made the trip enjoyable, and relaxing. Car was nice and clean and comfortable . If you’re looking for a day of adventure, in comfort. Book Jose Carlos.

Great private tour - We booked a private tour and it was an amazing experience. Our guide and driver Juan Carlos provided us with lots of useful information about Colombia’s history and society and showed us around. We started at our hotel at 8am and reached the rock when there were still fewer tourists there (also, it was during the week which might be better than during weekends).

AMAZING experience!! 100% recommend! - We took this tour while staying in Medellín - it was a perfect day trip and an unforgettable experience. Diego was our tour guide, and he was awesome! He is super knowledgeable, and gave us a great overview of the history and the sights we saw. He also patiently answered every one of our (many) questions :) Guatapé and the Rock of El Peñol were beautiful. Climbing the rock takes some time, but isn't too strenuous. I would definitely recommend a private tour (like this one) instead of a group tour, since we didn't feel rushed at all when climbing El Peñol and we got to more fully enjoy the view from the top as well as our trip to Guatapé town.
