Trip to the town of Guatape - This trip for me is unforgettable for its culture, in the warmth and kindness of the people, I felt well received, the Tour Guide was very friendly, demonstrated a lot of knowledge of the place. It's a trip that I'll repeat again because I still have more to know

Turn of events - Daniel was our guide and he was great! On the day of our tour, both main roads were closed to Guatape, but Daniel was diligent on finding a way to the town. Many of the locals were unaware of the closure to the roads to Guatape. We took the back roads, a bit bumpy, but without Daniel's resourcefulness, we wouldn't have made it to Guatape. The tour itself was great and I would definitely go again myself and recommend!

Beautiful day exploring Guatape! - My partner and I had an awesome time with our guide, Fabio. He suggested that we start the day early to avoid crowds and traffic (it was a great suggestion). Guatape is a gorgeous area! Views from the top of the rock are stellar, the surrounding terrain, lake, and village should not be missed! Fabio is a very knowledgeable, witty guide from the Medellin area. He shared tons of information about the Medellin/Guatape area with us. 😁

Unexpected Guatape Tour - Juan was amazing in providing us the history go Guatape. We ate at a local restaurant and it was wonderful after climbing all of those steps. This tour was booked last minute and our travel agent was able to reserve Juan to be our tour guide. This is how much we enjoyed him and felt comfortable that we specifically asked for him.

A great really fun day out of the city - A full day of food tasting was really nice. Time to climb the rock was really appreciated. And the towns, the rock exceeded expectations. Guides Alex and Suzana were so informative, helpful and pleasant
