A Tour to Remember! - Our visit to La Piedra del Peñol with Julio as our guide was truly unforgettable. Julio was kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable—not just about Colombia’s history and culture, but also about so many random, interesting facts. There were many moments where it felt like he was part of our group, not just our guide. Climbing the rock was both fun and adventurous. Tip: bring comfortable shoes and hydrate the night before—it makes a big difference! After the climb, we went jet skiing on the massive lake. The views were stunning, and although we didn’t go too far to avoid getting lost, it was still an amazing experience. Julio then recommended a restaurant called La Fogata—the food was delicious! If you like spice, definitely try their homemade salsa. Afterward, we explored the colorful streets of Guatapé, where there are plenty of shops for souvenirs. The vibrant buildings and beautiful “zocalos” (decorative panels) are a must-see—each one tells a unique story. Overall, this tour was the highlight of our trip, and we left feeling like we had gained a new friend in Julio. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour - We loved the tour! Our guide was Henry and he was super friendly. I liked that it was a private tour because we had the opportunity to decide how much time to spend in each activity. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Guatapé day tour Henry - This tour was an incredible experience that allowed me to discover the beauty and culture of Guatapé. Our guide Henry was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, explained everything about the history and culture of the town, and took us to amazing places like the Peñon de Guatapé, the replica of the old village and ended the day using jet skis. I definitely recommend it.

Unforgettable Experience - The Guatapé + Coffee Farm Tour is a must-do when visiting Medellín! Henry was an exceptional guide—his knowledge and experience were clear throughout the day. At each stop, we had ample personal time and never felt rushed. He shared fantastic food and shopping recommendations, both during the tour and for the rest of our time in Colombia. Henry was professional, yet personable, matching our energy to create a truly unique experience. Guatapé was absolutely stunning—from climbing La Piedra to strolling through the historic, colorful town. One of the highlights was visiting El Peñol coffee farm, where we met the warm family behind the delicious Café Oriente Excelso. It was an unforgettable experience, especially for any coffee lover. We can’t wait to return to Colombia and book another tour with Tourguides Medellín!

Great guide in Guatape - The experience was organized and very well prepared. Viator maintained constant communication about the trip and provided the flexibility to pay for it up until the day before the tour which was great.

Great private tour. - Such a great experience, this tour was perfectly made for our needs, as it was a private tour, it was on our own pace, we stopped to see Llamas and beautiful horses on the way to Guatape, later we stopped in a market to taste some delicious fruits that we would never had tasted before, the rock has an amazing view to the lake and the town is very colorful, our guide Óscar speaks perfect English and was very complacent with all our requests, he knows everyone in the town and gave us a history class of Colombia, very recommended.
