Good tour, English, great visit to Guatape - We had a great time with Laura, our tour guide. She knows very good English and knows a lot about the history. We never felt rushed. She picked us up early and we left a little early from Guatape to beat traffic. I highly recommend this tour. The breakfast, lunch and boat ride were great additions. Gracias Laura!

One of the best days of our life! - We did the tour to Guatapé and the Stone of the Peñol with Nelson and it was an unforgettable experience. From the beginning we were impressed by how detailed it was in explaining the history, culture and traditions of the area. Thanks to him we tried the paisa tray and arepa for the first time, and not only loved them, but learned their importance in local cuisine. The tour was fun, full of jokes and anecdotes, and Nelson had beautiful details with my mom for her birthday that made the day even more special. The vehicle was very comfortable, which made the journey pleasant and relaxed. And what to say about landscapes: Guatapé and the Piedra del Peñol are simply wonderful places, full of colors, spectacular views and a unique energy. Nelson is a passionate and attentive guide who makes every moment count. We recommend it 100%!

Si Guatepe! - Arturo is an outstanding guide, good driver, and easy to switch between Spanish and English. He has a lot of background stories about the sites you visit. Trying new fruit at the entrance to Guatepe is fun. Tip for the boat ride — hustle up to the top deck and grab seats towards the bow - the private tour gets combined with group tours on the lake.
