Ally V2025-08-22Verificada Wonderful experience with an excellent guide! Loved our tour around Comuna 13 with Henry. He was very knowledgeable and also flexible - we had two very young children with us and he adjusted the pace to ensure they could keep up with the walking. He shared so many insights about the area, and we learnt so much. A real highlight of the trip, and Henry was excellent. We would recommend to anyone! Edgar2025-08-19Verificada Oscar the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience great while visiting the town and the monolith. Would The tour was more than we could have hoped for. From the guide's experience, to the whole trip, Guatapé was well worth it. Mario2025-08-12Verificada Great adventures with friends and our tour guide who became our friend Oscar was the best tour guide in Colombia hands-down. He was super knowledgeable and very friendly and got us in wherever we needed to go ahead of the crowds and he took pitstops for us to see extra events along the way such as feeding the llamas and the Koi fish! Which was a fantastic and fun experience Molly21942025-08-12Verificada Fun and friendly I can’t recommend this tour enough. Oscar is extremely knowledgeable and super friendly - the perfect tour guide. The coffee farm was very thorough and hands on and the walk around Guatape was beautiful. Tasting local fruits and stopping to see the llamas were great additions. Great way to spend a day. Daly R2025-08-10Verificada A Tour to Remember! Our visit to La Piedra del Peñol with Julio as our guide was truly unforgettable. Julio was kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable—not just about Colombia’s history and culture, but also about so many random, interesting facts. There were many moments where it felt like he was part of our group, not just our guide.Climbing the rock was both fun and adventurous. Tip: bring comfortable shoes and hydrate the night before—it makes a big difference! After the climb, we went jet skiing on the massive lake. The views were stunning, and although we didn’t go too far to avoid getting lost, it was still an amazing experience.Julio then recommended a restaurant called La Fogata—the food was delicious! If you like spice, definitely try their homemade salsa. Afterward, we explored the colorful streets of Guatapé, where there are plenty of shops for souvenirs. The vibrant buildings and beautiful “zocalos” (decorative panels) are a must-see—each one tells a unique story.Overall, this tour was the highlight of our trip, and we left feeling like we had gained a new friend in Julio. Highly recommend! Anthony L2025-08-10Verificada Great Narration Oscar was a wealth of knowledge and gave some great background to all the downtown sites. He’s a great narrator and we enjoyed his company. Raymond A2025-08-08Verificada Awesome city tour experience We toured the city and got to view many historical sites, we also viewed the city from the air in the Sky Cable Car come on my son then i'm always like. We also tried exotic foods which were delicious. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we highly recommend for everyone new to Medellin. Trail312869403792025-07-24Verificada Wonderful hands on experience! Book it! If you can only do one day trip from Medellín, take this tour. Oscar is a fabulous guide and Sandra and Alicia are a very gracious mother/daughter team that opens their house and farm to visitors. It's a hands on tour, from picking the cacao pods to roasting and grinding the beans and making your own chocolate bars with custom flavors. It's a much shorter ride than going to Guatapé, and you still get the sense of the mountains outside Medellín. Their farm is also filled with coffee trees, and various fruit trees and flowers. Lots of birds too! One of the most authentic tours we've ever been on, and we have visited dozens of countries. Don't hesitate to book it! Laura Y2025-07-22Verificada Amazing tour of Medellin Highlights We had an amazing time on our tour with Oskar and learned so much about Medellín! Oskar picked us up right from our hotel and made the whole experience seamless. Our first stop was Botero Square, which was incredible. Oskar had such a wealth of knowledge about the artist and shared the fascinating history behind each bronze statue. We then explored some of the city’s coolest buildings and enjoyed seeing beautiful art along the way. The highlight at the end was a visit to a local fruit stand, where we got to try so many delicious fruits—most of which were completely new to us.Overall, this was a 5-star experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín! Jack S2025-07-21Verificada Best day out with Andres Great day with Andres, he really looked after us and made sure we got a lot out of our Guatapé trip. He really loves his coffee! Would highly recommend!
