Highly recommend! - It was great! We got to rest on the bus and on the boat, then trek up the hill, hang out in the town, and finally stop at Alta de Choco. We did a lot but also got to rest. Patricia was great at giving us enough free time while still making sure we got everything we needed. My fave part was actually the boat. The weather and views were perfect and we got good entertainment.

Best tour we have done! - My fiancé and I decided it was best to take a tour from Medellin to Guatapé. Wow! What an experience. We had Esteban as our driver and Laura as our tour guide. We did so much on the tour. Delicious meals provided, and my favorite part the boat tour! Where the tour guides showed us dancing, music and amazing views and all around awesome vibes! Highly recommend the full day tour!

Glad we did the tour rather than going on our own - Fantastic tour, shout out to Patricia and Alberto. Patricia’s explanations were great. The bus trip went quickly, you can open the windows for fresh air and there’s also air con once it’s hot. We were considering doing Guatape without a tour but it definitely saved us a heap of time and confusion once we got to El Peñol as Patricia purchased the tickets and we could skip the MASSIVE line to purchase them. She also pointed out the only free bathrooms there before we climbed up. Climb was very manageable as there’s lots of people so the climb is slow. Lunch was great , boat ride was very nice and really loved having the free time to wander around Guatape - Patricia gave some recommendations for things to check out too.

Great Itinerary! - This is a really good tour and Carlos was awesome. He could not have been nicer and was very informative. It’s a great way to see a lot of sites outside Medellin and is a good combination of organized guiding and free time.
