Carlos Carmona and his Guatape tour was truly extraordinary. - We had an amazing day with Carlos, our lovely tour guide. He was well spoken, entertaining and told us the great history around Guatape. You can tell his passion about the area and Colombia itself. The tour was ran really smoothly from the basic yet tasty breakfast, to the hike up the La Piedra, the boat trip and to top it off the excellent Lunch followed by an even more informative walking tour hosted by Carlos himself. I would not have had it any other way. The only downside was the group was massive but I think every tour we saw going to Guatape was the same.

Amazing trip! - I really enjoyed the excursion to Guatapé. The pace of our trip and meals were planned out well. Our tour guide Patricia was very helpful and made sure we all stayed together. The food was delicious and filling. I also liked the free time we had in the town to shop and take pictures. I would definitely recommend this excursion.

A must do in Medellin - A must do if you come to Medellin. Our tour guide Patricia was amazing. Freddy our driver was very nice. The tour departed on time. The food options were very good. Patricia is knowledgeable. We were lucky to have her.

Hesitant About the Climb But Was so Worth it! - I was intimated by this experience as I have a bad knee and I wasn’t planning on doing the climb but friends that I met on the bus encouraged me to do it and motivated me all the way up! I’m so glad that I did it but I took my time. Once at the top it was worth the wait. Just make sure and take a bottle of water with you and sip it while you’re climbing. You can always get more once you’re at the top!

Nice trip, but too long - The trip to Guatapé was overall good, but at 11 hours was too long. If I knew it would be that long I wouldn't have gone. The Guatapé rock was a nice climb and view, and walking the town was nice as well; however, the boat ride was a boring out and back (would have like to skip that). Just seeing the lake from the top of the rock was enough. Also, we stayed too long at the towns (the vendors sell most of the same things you get elsewhere). 2 hours could be cut from the tour.

Don’t book with this company - Guatapé is worth of visiting BUT not with this company! The tour guide Andres DOESNT speak English! He can’t explain the BAISC history stuff in English, period smh This tour is pretty much just transporting you from point A to point B.
