Inspiring tour - We had an incredible tour of Comuna 13 in Medellín. It was such a meaningful experience to learn about the history of the neighborhood, its transformation over the years, and the resilience of the community. Our guide, Joshua, was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing powerful stories that gave us a deeper understanding of Comuna 13’s past and its vibrant culture today. The street art, music, and energy of the area made the tour both educational and inspiring. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín!

Excellent experience - can't wait to return! - Deciding to venture out on my own while the rest of my travel group rested from the night before, I journeyed with Camantours guide Camilo to Alto Del Chocho, New Peñol, El Peñol, and Guatapé.
Well acquainted with Medellín, Camilo provided fascinating insights about Medellín specifically and Colombia generally. An affable gentleman with a generous spirit, he made the entire experience like I was traveling safely with a good friend. Our wide-ranging conversations between the full-day tour stops were as entertaining and enlightening as the actual stops.
From delicious pan de bono y café in Alto Del Chocho and beautiful vistas atop el Peñol to vibrant zocalos and magnificent church architecture in Guatapé, the experience was a memorable one! Thank you!
I will tell friends and family to book with Camatours for all of their travel needs in Medellín. Rrrrrrapido!

Awesome tour!! A must! - Our tour to La Piedra del Peñol and Guatapé was excellent. Our tour guide, Sebastian, was amazing—he was punctual when picking us up and took the time to explain all the beautiful sights along the way.
Climbing La Piedra is a must. It’s 720 steps! Exhausting towards the end, but the view from the top is absolutely worth it.
This tour company truly takes the time to make sure you learn about and appreciate the beauty and history of Medellín. We highly recommend them!

Full day Guatape tour - Our family of four took the Guatape tour on 12/30/25 climbing El Peñol and visiting the town of Guatape. We had a great time, primarily due to our amazing guide Camilo. Camilo is very knowledgeable, has a wonderful personality and was a joy to be with for the day. I highly recommend Camilo for any of the tours you may be interested in. Thanks Camilo!

Professional guides take the Guatape experience to the next level - The overall experience is very good. From the decision to go to Guatape looking for a travel agency, Camilo and Camantours often answered my inquiries immediately, understanding our need to help us schedule the trip. On the day of the trip, the experienced Camilo guided us in the cloudy waterside between the journeys, leaving us in this person and car super many popular attractions, nothing waiting for a blank time. Thank you very much!
