Amazing! - This is an amazing tour and I highly recommend it. Totally different from the common Guatapé, Communa 13 and Pablo Escobar tours. It’s definitely worth every penny. Our tour guide (Erika) was very knowledgeable and treated us like family the entire time. We learned so much about Santa Fe and the Western Bridge. Erika recommended a great coffee shop and restaurant for lunch and it did not disappoint. She also took us to many historic sites, museums and shops. Overall we had a wonderful time and having Erika as our guide was a complete blessing.

Incredible day trip - The visit to Santa Fe de Antioquia was incredible. Our tour guide, Sarah was very helpful in showing us the tour of the historic town and was a wealth of information about the town, little known facts about the town, general information about medellin and was able to recommend some local flavors of the town. We would highly recommend this trip for those who like to tour a small town with its own unique history and architecture.

Excellent Santa Fe Tour - Erika from MedellinDayTrips is an excellent tour guide. Our tour began when she met us at our hotel on time in the morning...in fact she was early which allowed us to arrive in Santa Fe before most other tourists. On the drive to Santa Fe, Erika shared her knowledge about Colombia...the land, the history, and the culture. She is bilingual in Spanish and English, so she was able to speak to my friend (in Spanish) and to me (in English) during the trip. While in Santa Fe, Erika took us to see various important sights including churches, markets, a museum, the main plaza, and of course, the bridge. She was happy to answer all of our questions, and even recommended a nice restaurant at the end of our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and greatly appreciate the excellent attention that Erika provided us. If you seek an experienced tour guide for an amazing day in Santa Fe de Antioquia, you should definitely ask for Erika from MedellinDayTrips.

Amazing company - Excellent service! I highly recommend this company. We were 3 couples and took 3 tours with Andres ( Medellin day trips) We went to Santa Fe de Antioquia, Guatape and city tour and the 3 tours were worth every penny. The cars used were very comfortable, cleaned and new. We had Andres as a guide one day and we did the other two tours with Erika. Both of them are excellent. Very knowledgeable, professional and super nice people. Every thing was coordinated and we had not stress at all. You feel like family is taking you everywhere with no hassle of you driving in the traffic of Medellin or the surroundings. I give them 5 stars ⭐️

EXCEPTIONAL - The tour was EXCEPTIONAL, SUPER INTERESTING. Sara, the guide is a charming, cultured, intelligent person and makes you feel very comfortable. The bridge is beautiful with a unique history and the city, which must be said, has a history that never ends. But the most exceptional thing is the treatment of Sara (our guide). Totally recommended
