Great trip...Prepare yourself for the climb - The tour and the guide where excellent and fun. The lunch and breakfast were excellent. We really enjoyed the time in Guatape, great people and lots to see and do. A word of caution if you are not in good physical shape you may need to rethink taking the steps to the top of the Penon it is challenging. Great time overall even though two days later my legs are still sore from walking the steps. Overall a trip I would recommend!

Don’t miss out!!! - This was beyond our expectations. We still can’t believe everything you get during this excursion for the price. So so so worth it! No part of this disappointed from the landmarks to the people and delicious food. I will admit, the roads in Colombia in general are not the smoothest so I’d consider bringing something for nausea if you get car sick easily since it is a long bus ride to the destination. However, that is an overall tip for being in Colombia and not their fault. 10/10 would highly recommend!!!

Definitely recommend! - This was an incredible experience! Our guide Laura, was kind, organized, and did the tour in both English and Spanish, she made the whole day smooth and enjoyable. Special shoutout to our driver, Alberto, who deserves a gold star. He was calm, careful, and made every ride feel safe and easy. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the timing at every stop was spot on. Breakfast and lunch were included, and Laura’s recommendation for the local lunch option was a delicious highlight. The tour felt thoughtful — no tourist traps, just beautiful towns and a relaxing boat ride with live music to end the day. For the price, this trip was an absolute win. Highly recommend booking with this team if you’re heading to Guatapé.

It was a long, but fun... - It was a long, but fun day. Breakfast and lunch were very good! El Penol was tough to climb, but definitely worth it! The boat ride was chill and walking around Guatape was cool! Would recommend doing this.

Easy trip, great local food, and a knowledgeable guide!! Highly recommend!! - Laura (our guide) was great, the bus ride to/from Penol & Guatape went fine, but the sound system in the bus was essentially indecipherable, so I missed a lot of info. The food along the way and assistance Laura provided while in Guatape each were wonderful. I'd book with these folks again as everyone had a great time!!
