Highly recommended and fun! - Colombian Ambassadors and especially Sebastian were simply amazing! The communication is clear and there are no surprises. They pick you up in a very nice and well kept SUV with AC and with enough room. Sebastian has a good eye on reading people and adjusts anything based on the needs and wants of the group. He’s friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. You are guaranteed a good time. We will always recommend him and the company for this experience. If you want to learn about Guatape, it’s history and it’s people in a relaxed and fun way, look no further.
