A bang for your buck - Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had since visiting Colombia. Extremely organized. Carlos our tour guide was funny and very knowledgeable. Bring comfortable shoes because you will be putting some miles on them. The stairs on El Peñol were brutal, pace yourself the view a the top makes it worth it. Lunch was amazing, that bandeja paisa is no joke 10/10

Good Tour of Guatape - Tour was exactly as advertised. Guide made sure that all guests followed the time allocated for each stop. Meals were basic, but good, and served quickly. Beautiful ride most and back, with lots of time in Guatape. Good value for the money.

Good day trip from medellin through the countryside - Julia was an excellent guide and answered any questions anyone had. The tour spends a lot of time on the bus because Guatape is far from the city and the traffic is always bad on the return. Meal options are reasonable. Piedra del Penol, Guatape town and boat ride make the bus trip worth it.

Great trip - This tour was worth every dollar and more! The guide Carlos and Driver Alberto were consumate professionals, helped us keep time and Carlos knowledge and passion for Guatape was evident. Traveling solo is not easy but Carlos watched out for me and helped me take some photos. Great experience!
