  • 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!

  • My Mom & I did two different tours (tuk tuk and the boat) with Guateoe Tours and it was absolutely AMAZING. The excellent communication beforehand, the professional facilitators, and the positive energy led to unforgettable memories. I highly recommend them for their flexibility with us and their first-class guides.
