Just did the Guatapé tour from Medellín with my family and it was amazing! 🌄💦 Climbing El Peñol Rock was tough but the views were totally worth it. Taking the tour from Medellín was honestly one of the best parts of my trip to Colombia. The day started early with a comfortable drive through the countryside, lush hills, small towns, and beautiful views all around. It was a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and chill time. If you’re in Medellín, I’d 100% recommend doing this tour. Our tour guide Carlos is very nice, we were comfortable around him. His English is fluent for you to understand. We had a good time, there’s such a warm, friendly vibe. We had time to walk around, take pictures, try some local food, and just soak it all in. The boat ride were amazing which was relaxing and offered a different view of the landscape. Overall, it was a perfect mix of adventure, culture, and enjoyable experience. If you’re in Medellín, 100% recommend doing this tour.

The tour is honestly disappointing and very different from what is promised here. They promise to pick you up at the hotel but the day before send you a message with a meeting point which is the same for everyone. The group is not small at all, it is a tour with 4 or 5 different buses, each with aprox 40 people. The luxury boat has nothing luxurious about it, it is a comfort but regular boat. Food is ok but not great. The guide’s lack of organisation was the worst part - when we arrived no one knew in which bus we should go and they didn’t have our names (even though we paid and confirmed everything days before), they kept changing people’s places on the bus to the point where no one knew where to seat, they even left 2 tourists behind in one of the stops. The tour was only worth it because of the beautiful views in Guatape. But everything else was disappointing.

Violeta & Mariana were both excelente. They were genuine & warm towards the whole group. When Violeta learned that it was my Birthday she went out of her way & decided to sing me happy birthday with the group & even bought me a small cake before the tour ended because she said no birthday was complete without a cake. I was never expecting that & it made the whole experience that much better. I’d recommend to anyone. Do it!
