We had a great time with our guide Felipe in Guatape …he was right on time to pick us up in Medellin and was very attentive the entire time..had a great day planned out for us and adjusted for some timing issues due to traffic but we got to do and see everything…would definitely use him and his company again.

What an amazing excursion! Our tour guide was great and even added an extra stop at a petting zoo along the way that was really fun. The boat ride was more than I expected. They took us past a few different historical landmarks including one of Pablo Escobars homes for those Narcos fans. The helicopter ride was fast but a really amazing experience. I highly recommend.

Alejandro was our guide and he was exceptional and helped make the best day of our trip. We stopped at ranch with animals which was great fun and then moved on to the boat trip where our guide took us to some breathtaking places whilst explaining the history. Guatape is a beautiful town which was great to spend time in and the helicopter ride was awesome. The walk up the rock took some doing but it was worth the effort. Overall a fantastic which I would definitely recommend. A big thank you to Alejandro for helping make this day so special.

My wife and I spent a wonderful day getting to know the town of Guatape and the beautiful landscape! Everything about the tour was great. Our tour guide Juan was very kind and knowledgeable about the history of the town. His suggestions were perfect and the tour was perfectly on schedule without rushing us in any of the stops. We highly recommend booking this complete tour during your visit to Columbia.

Truly an amazing experience! Santiago was the best guide I’ve had in any country, very accommodating, flexible, and knowledgeable of the country/tour. Highly recommend, ask questions ahead of the tour so you know what to bring, and if you don’t want to stress or plan, Santiago will take care of you!
