  • We had an excellent experience with Guatape Tours! We booked a sprinter van with them for 12 of us, which was super clean, very comfortable and with air conditioning, to go from Medellin to Guatape and back later that same day. Our driver Christian was wonderful. He was on time, knowledgeable about the area and activities and very friendly. He drove us to hike La Piedra del Penol and then recommended an excellent place for lunch afterwards which he took us too. Afterwards he dropped us off near the malecón to walk and tour the town. It was a great day trip and I appreciated Guatape Tours checking in with me throughout the day and even before to make sure that everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend booking any trip with them!

  • Used their car service from the airport to Guatape then Guatape to Medellin and everything was excellent. Communication was great as well as great drivers. I wanted to adjust the time of a ride after hotel granted late checkout and it was not a problem at all. Also found their prices to be more competitive than some others. Can’t recommend enough.
