Additional Information

We’ll engage in a fascinating tour of a Guatapé coffee plantation, where local cultivators will guide us through the comprehensive process of coffee production - from planting the seed to indulging in a well-deserved cup of coffee. Here, you’ll also get the opportunity to momentarily step into the shoes of a coffee farmer by picking your own coffee beans.

Since we’re in Guatapé, a visit to the famous rock is mandatory. We’ll continue our journey to this famous landmark, where you’ll be challenged to ascend more than 708 steps to reach the peak, thus providing you with an awe-inspiring 360-degree panorama of eastern Antioquia. Be prepared to snap some unforgettable photos of the beautiful dam and surrounding sceneries.

Afterwards, we’ll retreat back to the town - but not before enjoying a hearty lunch! There we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the most notable landmarks of this vibrant town, brimming with affable locals and enticing tales just waiting to be shared. We’ll reveal the origins of the typical ‘zócalos’ (painted house frontages), and their importance to the townsfolk. For the chocoholics among us, a free visit to a chocolate shop is included, with additional time allocated for souvenir shopping at local artisan stores.

Unique private Guatapé tour - My friends and I had so much fun on this tour. In a private car instead of a big bus and got to experience a local coffee farm, see Guatapé, and climb the rock. Was a very cool experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Medellin!

Henry is the best! - Henry was a great guide and really took this experience to the next level! He adjusted the plan based on our group's priorities and took care of all the details. He was also really patient with us as we looked into every single shop in Guatape.

Great coffee tour - We booked last minute (the next day) and our guide was very knowledgeable. We’d recommend choosing the 7am pickup time to beat the crowds at La Piedra and Guatape.

Great way to tour the city - This tour was so good and inclusive! Henry was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and fun, the day passed so quick. He was able to personalize the tour a little bit to match what we wanted to do inbetween the rock and the coffee farm. He was so helpful with translating when needed. Overall a very great experience and would highly recommend!

Thanks Oscar! - Oscar was an amazing tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I also loved that this was a small group. We could ask questions we had. I am really happy we got to see guatape and the coffee farm! We also asked to try chocolate and cheese and we made a few extra stops that he was happy to make. Book this small group tour! Totally worth it.

Amazing full day tour - We had an amazing tour with Julio. We included climbing the rock, the town, a boat trip and the coffee plantation. Julio was relaxed, flexible and knowledgeable. The day started with rain so he adjusted the schedule so we could make the most of it - and it turned out perfectly! It was a long day but it didn’t feel like it. Julio adjusted to our pace and kept the day fun and energetic. We had our 6 old son with us and Julio was so patient and friendly with him. His English is also amazing which was helpful for our group. The coffee plantation is small, a family owned business and you get to learn about the process and even participate. It was the best full day tour I’ve ever done. My expectations weren’t too high knowing what a touristy spot Guatapé is but Julio made it feel personalized and unique. Communication from Oscar was also perfect. Highly recommend Tour Guides Medellín!
