Amazing!!! - Amazing tour!!! Luis, you were absolutely exceptional! We were so lucky to have you as our guide for two tours in Medellín, and you made both of them truly special. From the very first moment, your energy, knowledge, and kindness made us feel right at home. You went above and beyond to make every experience fun, safe, and unforgettable. Whether it was sharing the best local spots, telling fascinating stories, or just making us laugh the whole time, you were amazing in every way. Medellín felt even more magical because of you! Thank you for being such a wonderful guide and for making our trip so perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us your beautiful city. Highly recommend Luis to anyone visiting Medellín, you won’t find a better guide! Thank you again, Luis! You’re the best!

Best Experience Ever - We had an amazing experience with our private tour guide Nelson. He taught us so much about the culture and took us to see many amazing places. We toured around the beautifully artistic town of Guatape, a lively boat ride with a combination of recorded and live music and commentary, and a stop at a farm to see llamas, alpacas, ostriches and other animals. 10/10 Highly recommend Nelson for a private tour guide.

Amazing day tour!! - Celene and the team were amazing -- we had more than 100 people and it would've been a nightmare to coordinate without them. They were super responsive and helpful with the many questions. Especially for the price you pay, you get so much out of the day; from the rock to a boat tour and llamas, we were out for the entire day. All of us had a great time and would highly recommend Viaja to anyone.

A day trip with a little bit of everything - Our guide was Nelson and his wealth of knowledge and tour experience was very apparent. He was able to make the best of challenges beyond his control like rain in Guatape (he drove us around the town and took us to a wonderful cafe until the weather cleared) and extremely heavy traffic returning to the city as it was a national holiday (he knew some shortcuts). The day was extremely varied with an interesting and scenic drive to Guatape, a typical Colombian breakfast and lunch, a climb up La Piedra Del Penol (my wife and I are seniors and took our time so the climb wasn’t a problem), a tour around the beautifully artistic town of Guatape, a lively boat ride with a combination of recorded and live music and commentary, and a stop at a farm to see llamas, alpacas, ostriches and other animals. Nelson seemed to know almost every local person we met along the way and got us free samples at a number of businesses in Guatape. He also planned our meals so we avoided the big tour groups, which we most appreciated. It was a long but satisfying day

So much to see and do--highly recommended - We had an unforgettable trip with a great tour guide, Andres, who knows everyone. What a pro. We drove to Guatape and climbed to the top, and then the tour continues to the town, which I had no idea was such a tourist attraction in its own right. The tour includes history of the area as well as a beautiful boat ride. It's really a complete package trip. It was much more than I expected, and Andres was fantastic.

The private tour is well worth the extra money! - If you are considering a tour while visiting Medellin, this is definitely the one to choose. Our guide Artur provided an incredible experience for us. He was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The day was our favorite one on our first time visiting this beautiful region of Colombia. Highly enjoyable!
