Jorge was the best guide!... - Jorge was the best guide! Friendly and knowledgeable. The views from the Rock are stunning. It is a little slow going climbing up and down the 702 steps (!) if you go in the heart of tourist season like we did. Sampling the local fruits and visiting the chocolate shop was a great surprise. Highly recommend!

Guatape! - Hector was the most amazing tour guide we have ever experienced. The beauty of the region speaks for itself, however, without him, we would’ve never understood or appreciated the history and significance of what we were seeing. Throughout our travels, we have never met someone so knowledgeable and kind. Hector was a great start to our trip in Colombia and will undoubtedly remain the best part of our trip. Thank you again, K & A

Amazing tour in a beautiful town - The tour company was very helpful because I had some last minute changes. I ended up doing the tour by myself and my guide Edgar made me feel very accompanied. Edgar was very knowledgeable about the history, he made extra stops at a few photo perfect spots. He was very patient and we had a great day together. Both breakfast and lunch were delicious. I definitely recommend this tour as you will visit the cutest town with best guides.

The Absolute PERFECT day trip. - I am so so impressed with this tour and our guide. We were met by our guide, Mateo Z, in the morning. His English was perfect. His vehicle was new and comfortable. He drove us throughout the day, explaining everything, taking photos for us. He made sure we were always comfortable, always informed of next steps on the itinerary, and he never ever rushed us! He was so friendly, so personable, and the trip was a great value for what we paid! I was worried we would be too slow going up the big rock (750 stairs) but after meeting him, I realized he was the perfect guide, making sure we enjoyed every part of the day! If you are looking for a day trip to Guatape and to climb the big rock, I HIGHLY recommend this tour company and ask for Mateo! He was truly spectacular! I have been to every continent (except Antarctica) and used travel guides in many places. He was one of the absolute BEST!

Great day trip from Medellin! - Edgar was a great tour guide. He had a great sense of humor and a lot of knowledge about the areas we visited. The rock is really cool (although a steep climb up) and Guatape is a charming city. I’d highly recommend this as a day trip from Medellin and would recommend asking for Edgar to be your guide. The communication from the tour company and Edgar was also very clear.
