We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Daniel who was our guide in Medellín. He is incredibly knowledgeable, highly educated, and speaks excellent English. His car was very comfortable, and we felt safe and well taken care of the entire day. He took us on a full-day trip to Guatapé, where we enjoyed stunning views from La Piedra and a relaxing stroll through downtown Guatapé. We had a delicious lunch at one of the restaurants he recommended – all of his suggestions were authentic, fairly priced, and truly great local spots. He also arranged an excellent boat ride with a local guide on the Guatapé reservoir, which became one of the highlights of the day. To top it all off, we ended the trip at a very authentic fruit market where we tried a variety of exotic Colombian fruits – such a unique and memorable experience. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 day. The experience was amazing, incredibly scenic, and absolutely worth every penny. We highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting Medellín – you will see the beauty of Guatapé in a safe, comfortable, and unforgettable way. And one more sign of how much we loved this tour: we enjoyed the experience so much that we booked him again for the very next day - for a family-run coffee farm experience - that we enjoyed just as much!

This tour was amazing! We loved our guide Diana and driver Mauricio’s enthusiasm and Diana told us many many stories about the region, culture, food, local traditions and more. She is very knowledgeable and active. The tour was very complete for us (el penol climb, fruit tasting, boat ride and Guatape tour) and it was super nice that we could do everything at our own pace with kids. Diana made it enjoyable for all ages. Thanks a lot. We wholeheartedly recommend the tour. Thank you

We had a fabulous time on our private tour of Guatape including a boat ride. We were traveling with 3 adults and 3 young children (7, 6, and 5). Erika was an amazing tour guide who really customized the tour to our needs making sure the kids could keep up while giving the adults the background and history we wanted to hear about. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and history of Colombia. Guatape is a wonderful day trip from Medellin - highly recommend and ask for Erika, she has the patience of a saint having to deal with our kids for so many hours.

We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Ericka! She was right on time picking us up and made us feel welcomed from the start. Throughout the tour, she was incredibly knowledgeable about all the landmarks and shared interesting facts that made everything come to life. She was also very patient, allowing us plenty of time to explore and take photos. On top of all that, she was fun and full of energy, which made the day even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful time on our Guatape trip with Laura.! The entire day from the fruit tasting to the boat ride was very fun and Laura tailored everything to our preferences.

We would not hesitate to book with this company again and definitely recommend there services. Thank you for making the start of our trip in Medellin so special!

Our family had the best time on this day trip with Erika!! It was such a fantastic day with our 3 kids, we were able to go at our own pace at all the stops. Erika was so knowledgeable of the area and patient with our kids, we really appreciated her car with boosters! Another highlight of the day was the fun boat ride and beautiful tour of the town. I feel this is a must do for the Medellin area. While the city is beautiful, this gives you an entirely different experience outside the city to see the natural beauty in Colombia. Would definitely recommend this company and Erika as your guide!
