Tourpoint and Meghan a Colombian experience must (simply the best ❤️)

5.00Firstly I’d like to take this opportunity to give a huge shout out to Meghan for being the best tour guide ever. We had the best 4 days in Medellin and the most fabulous experience ever that we took back with us back home. It was her precise details that gave us an insight to really what Columbia is all about and I still can’t thank her enough . She kept all our needs in mind and we were just lucky to have her guide us . There’s literally nothing that Meghan doesn’t agree to showing or sharing with and literally there’s not a negative word that we all as a family of 5 had to say about her but only to add that we were so so spoilt having her guide and show us that once we went to our next city we were lost but soooooooo extremely thankful and grateful that we had her as a part of our journey . Thank you darling Meghan we all love you and can’t wait to see you again on our next adventure ❤️❤️🩷🩷🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🥰🥰

5.00Megan and her team helped organize a trip to Colombia for my bachelor party, and Guatape was absolutely the highlight of the trip! They handle everything from A to Z (transportation, translator, food, music, cultural experience), and their top priority is you having the best possible time. 10/10 would recommend!!
Unforgettable tour with an amazing team

5.00We booked several tours in Medellín and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Each guide brought something unique, and together they made our trip truly unforgettable. El Peñol & Guatapé with Carlos – Carlos was fantastic! Super knowledgeable, flexible, and full of fun stories. The climb up El Peñol was breathtaking, and thanks to him we also learned about the history of the flooded town below. In Guatapé, he helped us “read” the colorful zócalos and even took us to a local spot away from the crowds to try best coffee . Felt like traveling with a friend! City Tour & Comuna 13 with Meghan – Meghan made this tour unforgettable. Her passion and storytelling brought Medellín’s history and transformation to life. Walking through Comuna 13 wasn’t just sightseeing — it was connecting with local art, music, and people. Truly inspiring! Antioquía Towns with Lina – Lina showed us a completely different side of Colombia. We loved exploring El Retiro’s woodcraft traditions, the charm of La Ceja, and the sweet treats in San Antonio de Pereira (don’t miss the desserts!). She was relaxed, flexible, and made sure we had time to enjoy each stop without rushing. Overall – This team is outstanding. They customize everything, add personal touches, and make you feel like a guest rather than just a tourist. If you want tours that are insightful, flexible, and FUN — book with them. Medellín and Antioquía came alive thanks to Meghan and her team. Highly recommended!

5.00Best tour I could have gotten. They are responsible for making the whole experience something incredible, full of knowledge, fun, and above all much hospitality. They care that their customers are happy and get the best experience possible. They also have an impressive diversity of plans and options to make that we sometimes overlook. They are responsible for highlighting all the beauty of the city and its surroundings Super recommended
Love him 🥰

5.00The guide is very good, excellent English proficiency... He knows the history and explains it very well, we met many places, but certainly my favorite was all the activities we did in the boat... a lot of water sports and extremes (we jumped from a 10m high bridge) He took us to a delicious Luxe restaurant. All activities were 100% private and very fun
