Great experience and great guide - The entire day/trip was great. Pick up at our place was seamless and communication beforehand was good too. Joshua was a great guide and made sure we had a good time and were well taken care of. Great to see the sites of Colombia and learn about the local history throughout!

Increíble experience. Best tour guide EVER! - This was my last tour of Medellin and like they say… save the best for last. Guatape was one of the reasons I travelled to Medellin and I had been looking forward to this for weeks. Camilo made this one of the most memorable tours I have ever taken, not only is he knowledgeable but incredibly kind and patient. I was traveling alone and he made sure I felt safe, that we always went at my pace and that I was always smiling and having a good time and what a time we had! Also hands down best photographer ever!!! He made sure to capture every moment including some pretty cool candld shot. If you are booking any tours in Medellin this is the right group. They are honest and have the utmost integrity. I can’t wait to be back in September and book more tours with Camilo and his team!

Guatape is well worth a visit! - Visiting Guatape was a really great experience! The drive from Medellin is a bit long, but Josh and Erica got us there safely. Our first stop was La Piedra, the rock that we climbed via tons of stairs. This was a good workout and beautiful to see the views from the top. Then we walked around the town of Guatape. Josh and Erica were helpful in describing/pointing out important streets, buildings, artwork, etc. It was a truly beautiful and quaint town. We then all had coffee and lunch together, which was a lot of fun and great Spanish practice. Josh and Erica were very personable and easy to talk to. Finally, the best part of the experience was a boat ride on the dam for 1.5-2 hours. I had so much fun doing this! Josh pointed out the important houses owned by celebrities as well as (formerly) Pablo Escobar and his family. The boat blasted fun 80s music and we all sung together.

Memorable tour - Joshua and Erika were great tour guides. I highly recommend them. They drove us in their comfortable car to Gautapé from our hotel. Highlights included the Petra, the city and an amazing boat ride with stunning views.
