Great day tour, fantastic guide - We had a fantastic time at this private tour of Piedra del Penol, Guatape and a coffee plantation. The 700-odd steps to the top of the rock are steep but certainly doable and the views from the top are worth the climb. Guatape is a touristy town that appears to be straight out of the movie Encanto and offers many Insta-worthy photo opportunities. We enjoyed going into some of the artists' workshops in the town and watching them work. The highlight of the tour was the visit to the coffee plantation, where we not only learnt about the process but were able to participate in some of the steps, like picking beans from the plants and passing them through the sorting machine. This was our second trip with Medellin Day Tours and we specifically asked for the amazing Sarah as our guide as we really enjoyed the horse-riding tour with her last week. She is very knowledgeable about the area, passionate about showcasing Colombia to tourists and has a great sense of humour. She timed the itinerary well, so we could climb Piedra del Penol and visit Guatape before the bus crowds arrived. This long day tour was very enjoyable and memorable for us largely due to Sarah being our guide.

Welcoming, informative, and personal! - This tour was fantastic! The opportunity to see Guatape, climb the rock, taste tons of fresh fruit from the market and tour a coffee farm all in one day was such a great use of our limited time in Medellin. The rock itself was a little touristy, but it was fun to see. However the information we got from Sarah about the history of the rock, surrounding communities, and Colombia in general was far above and beyond expectations. I've been on several tours across many different countries and I must say Sarah may be the best guide I've ever had. We cannot recommend this tour or Sarah highly enough!

Unforgettable Tour with an Exceptional Guide - Colombia became my 47th country that I have visited and this tour led was one of the best I've taken over my many years of travel. Yes, climbing Guatapé Rock is touristy, but it was so much fun. The town of Guatapé was magical and the small family run coffee farm was not only informative, but the coffee was terrific and it felt great to buy directly from the farmer/producer. But what took this tour to the stratosphere was our exceptional guide Erika. Her knowledge of the region and the history of her country to the present day was exceptional. Erika’s English communication skills were outstanding and I can’t begin to express how her presence helped make our trip so special.

Perfect way to spend the day - Amazing experience to La Piedra, Gatape and the coffee plantation. Laura, our guide, way super helpful and knowledgeable. Very nice presence and having the private car was the best! Laura even had drawings of the location where each fruit grew and the plants it grows from - very cool addition:)

Great experience!! The... - Great experience!! The guide, Andre, was very professional yet personable, friendly and polite. Highly recommended!!

Good tour. Best tour guide. - Sara was the best tour guide! We had such a great time. She was very good at talking and explaining things without being overly talkative. Some of our guides in Colombia just talked nonstop. But Sara struck that perfect balance of being informative but not annoying.

Great trip and tour guide! - Laura was a great tour guide! She showed up on time and was friendly and informative. She allowed us to go at our own pace at each location while still keeping us on track. Def recommend booking with her!

Best tour ever, must do! - This was one of the best tours of our life. The private tour was so worth it, and Sara was the best guide ever. She is a treasure trove of information and is so much fun to talk to. We would highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Amazing experience - Sara was my tour guide and it felt as if a family member or good friend was showing me around the area for the day. Her expertise and knowledge were by far above my expectations. Extremely informative and personable. Would recommend this trip and her as my guide to anyone. Such a good experience.

Great tour confiant and brilliant guide - Great communication on meeting and timings. Great guide. Sara made the day special by her knowledge making a programme that beat queues and we were abkecto see and do everything.
