Best Driver, Great Communication - Julio was the best driver. He drove very well and gave us the best recommendation for lunch. The tour company communicates very well over WhatsApp so we never had any doubts about the booking. Having our own driver meant we got to different spots as quickly as we wanted and didn’t have to wait for a whole tour bus of people. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended private tour - Our private tour to Guatapé with Arturo was incredible! He’s a walking history book with such deep knowledge about Medellín’s past and present — from culture to economy. We left feeling inspired and grateful for how much we learned. Highly, highly recommend!

Great experience! - We had a wonderful experience with Artur. He picked our family up in a very nice van and took us on the boat ride, we climbed the rock and had a wonderful lunch. The town tour was my favorite part. We saw lots of murals and authentic artwork. Artur was very knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful. The driver was too.

Unforgettable, yet flexible experience - I had a group of 11 people and really wanted to prioritize getting back home at a certain time. This was the only tour that felt flexible and truly seemed to listen to what I wanted. Artur was our tour guide and was so helpful and informative, while also not being pushy. He took great pictures of our group and could tell exactly what our group would find important. Also a huge plus to see how many friends / locals he ran into on our tour. Would highly recommend!

Excellent - Artur and Enrique made us feel like longtime friends. Their conversation and knowledge of the area made the time pass quickly. Guatapé is a hidden gem and climbing the stairs up the rock is a great work out. All in all, this trip exceeded our expectations.

Fun adventure for all - El Penol has a lot of stairs but there’s no pressure to climb to the top. Go at your own pace. There’s also separate stairs for going back down. Our tour guide Santiago was great at explaining the history of Guatape, the colorful buildings, and the lunch was great! He was friendly, patient, and all around made the trip so memorable. The boat trip was short but a lovely way to cap the day.

Everything perfect as described in the platform - It was an amazing experience with a Pro and super friendly Tour Guide, throughout the trip he gave us valuable information about the places we visited. The price is definitely very good for everything that includes the tour. The lunch was amazing and I loved that they also offer options for vegetarians or vegans.

Good Day at The Rock - The Peñol Rock and the town walk were good, but the boat ride was a waste of time. (Don't go to the Boat Ride). I suggest going early in the morning to avoid the crowd.
