Get out of Medellin for the day - Santa Fe was a lovely city. I enjoyed my time with Daniel as he was an excellent guide, host, and driver. I would certainly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to get out of Medellin for the day.

An immersive experience - I thoroughly enjoyed the tour to the hanging bridge and Santa Fe. Joe, my guide, customised my visit to my interests and abilities. He shared with me a wealth of information above and beyond the places we visited. We talked about society, culture, economy, the people, every day life in Colombia. The scenery on our way was beautiful; the mountains with hundreds of shades of green, the clouds, the roads. The hanging bridge over the river was a very pleasant walk. Our visit to Santa Fe involved strolling through the town, a very refreshing drink and a visit to the church. I returned back full and fulfilled. Definitely Joe played a great role in this and for this I am grateful.

Day trip to Santa Fe de Antioquia from Medellin - We booked this tour pretty last minute, and we are very happy that we did. The trip itself was fun, and it was made better by our tour guide/driver Luis Alberto. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did he provided information about the town of Santa Fe, he also shared with us information about other areas of Colombia. He also helped us take a lot of pictures. The place we had lunch was beautiful, and the food was excellent (highly recommend the baby beef.) The last stop of the tour was the Puente de Occidente and it's definitely one of the highlight. Highly recommend this trip, definitely worth the time and money if you have an extra day at Medellin.

Santa Fe - Wonderful Colonial Town - Great tour of Santa Fe. Very interesting old colonial city. It has an incredible central square and lots of wonderful old churches. There is also a museum with the Declaration of Independence for the state from the Spanish crown. In the Colonial days, Santa Fe was the largest city in the area; it was later that people started moving to Medellin. I highly recommend the tour. Ask for Joe, he is a great guide.

We were asked to start an... - We were asked to start an hour later- at 9 am rather than 8 am. We did not visit San Jeronimo at all (included in the itinerary). Our guide was sick. He coughed the entire trip and that has bothered us since we are on a 25 day trip and don’t want to get sick. He spent much of the time on his phone, too. Santafe de Antioquia was charming, though. Price was too high for what we received. Basically just transportation. Uber would have been better.
