5.00This tour was jammed packed and well worth the money! We did everything Sebastian indicated, we couldn't ask for more! Our guide Alejandra and our driver John were excellent! Ale kept us informed at the appropriate times and was open to answer our questions. This tour is offered in English and Spanish. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone visiting Medellín. Comfortable ride for the journey and the experience was wonderful 👍🏾 The food was good too! 100/100 would recommend! Excelente ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Good bag for your buck.

5.00The tour delivered everything they advertised. You do get to see everything, but it is a lot to see in a short time. Everything is well organized and they run on a strict time table, which we like. If you are more then 5 minutes late for the bus, it is on your to make your way to the next stop on your dime. Only complaint was that the bus is really high off the ground for some seniors. It really needs some type of additional step for ease of getting on and off the bus. PS choose the chicken for lunch, do not get the steak. It is not good, most people fed it to the local dog.
Great experience

5.00It was a great experience where we could learn a little bit about the air, but do our own thing. If you’re looking for a really authentic tour, this is not it. It is more commercialized, but this is what we were going for, something a little bit more slow paced so we could enjoy our honeymoon. Word of caution it’s a long hike up to the steps, before you can actually climb the steps and so if you have bad knees, this is probably not an activity for you, but the other activities are great for those who need a little less walking. The tour guides were really great and looked out for us as some of the only English speakers on the tour. They gave great directions and recommendations. I would do this again with more of my family.
Excellent service

5.00Very good tour offering strong value. The tour coordinator was very easy to work with and our guide was fine too. The scenery is great. Only suggestion would be to change the lunch place from a small roadside restaurant in middle of no where to Guatape town itself where there are several food options. Otherwise I recommend this experience.
Excellent!!

5.00Great full day tour. You’ll be exhausted at the end but it’s worth it! Wear comfortable shoes, bring sunscreen, and take out cash before (there are ATMs available at some of the stops, but not many)

5.00My husband and I are vacationing in Medellín for the first time and knew we wanted to visit Guatapé but not have to change base location. I found this tour online which hit all the places I’d been told to go. From the very start, Sebastian was very communicative. Everything was laid out and very clear. His team also runs a very tight ship to guarantee you have maximum time at each stop. Our guide, Ale, was excellent. She flowed from Spanish to English easily giving important histories and instructions for each stop. She also shared some candy with us on the bus (perks of riding up front). A big kudos to our driver Alexis as well; lots of tight corners and traffic and he did it with ease. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone coming to Medellín. It is a long day though so come well rested and in comfortable clothes, especially if you are climbing! I would easily rate this tour as one of my favorites and I’ve traveled to nearly 20 countries at this point.
