💯 %Recommended - What can we say, our guide was Camilo, the best. He explained the history of the place to us, we visited the El Retiro Village and the Tekendamita waterfall. Spectacular places. Definitely a place to visit.

Amazing time! - Our first trip to Colombia was in December of 2020. We booked a tour to Comuna 13 with Daniel who was a complete joy! It was a great experience! When we came back in July of 2023, we knew we wanted to go on another tour. We only had one day and with our 7 year old daughter in tow, we chose a short trip to the waterfall and village of El Retiro. Our guide, Carlos was simply amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable! He included our daughter in conversation and even sang one of her Spanish songs she learned in school with her. He treated her to “una sorpresa” in the village square. It was such a memorable time. The food we had in the village was so yummy! The waterfall was beautiful. It was the perfect amount of time for our family. Next time, we hope to do some of the longer adventures! Until next time, Colombia 🇨🇴 Hasta luego

Not to be missed! - Two of my girlfriends and I booked this tour with Daniel and it was fantastic. He was energetic and knowledgeable and answered all of my 200 questions about the history and politics of Colombia between stops. The churros in Retiro were some of the best things I've ever tasted in my LIFE. Everyone we encountered in Retiro and San Antonio was kind and friendly. Would absolutely go again!

Absolutely Fantastic - We had the best trip with Daniel, he took us to Medellín’s stunning countryside and shared the beauty of his region, we got to see breathtaking landscapes, a beautiful waterfall, walk through a quaint little town full of history, local people, furniture and wooden shops at every corner, we sat down at the main square/plaza and had an amazing coffee, tried some delicious Colombian Snacks, really enjoying the moment, like Colombians do. We also visited a town known for its incredible desserts, Im still thinking why I didn’t bring some back to the hotel. We learned so much about the history of Medellín and Colombia, its just mind-blowing. It was amazing the knowledge, the passion and the friendliness of our tour guide. Very recommended, specially if you’re short on time, since its a half day tour.

Danny made me LOVE Colombia - Danny was extremely professional and kind. He is bilingual which was refreshing. He taught us so much about this country. He is very knowledgeable. Danny made me LOVE Colombia. The places he took us was so beautiful, full of life and culture. If you come to Medellin, book with Danny. I did not want to come back to the U.S. I am coming back just so Danny can so me the rest of the country. You will not regret booking with Danny.

Beautiful Pueblo of Medellin and Incredible Waterfall - do not miss it! - I want to give a special thanks to our tour guide for the amazing trip to this town. This was such a cute town and the drive to Retiro is very pretty and very green. If you are a lover of nature, you will feel the nice breeze and enjoy the green views of trees as you get closer to Retiro. I loved the town, the people, the churches, and how our tour guide gave a full explanation of all sites. I highly recommend this tour and you will love the snack - delicious. The Waterfall is amazing and the pictures we took are incredible. You won't believe this Waterfall is actually in Medellin. It is so beautiful. The tour guide Daniel Giraldo is amazing and fully bilingual and has an incredible positive and up beat personality.

Andes Adventures es lo mejor! - Daniel is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable and his love for his home country shows in everything he does. I did two awesome tours with him, visiting a coffee farm and visiting the town of El Retiro, Tequendamita Waterfall and El Penol/Guatape. I would highly recommend it. He took care of everything and I learned a lot about Colombia and what we saw. Daniel es un guia excelente. Él está muy bien informado y su amor por su país de origen se muestra en todo lo que hace. Hice dos tours increíbles con él, un tour de café y una visita a la ciudad de El Retiro, la cascada de Tequendamita y El Peñol / Guatapé. Lo recomiendo mucho. Él se encargó de todo y aprendí mucho sobre Colombia y lo que vimos.
