Fantastic private tour of El Peñol and Guatape! - I had a fantastic private tour of El Peñol and Guatape with Carlos! Carlos knows all the ins and outs of the area and can cater the tour to what you like. We were able to have great local coffee, snacks and food. 10/10 would recommend going with Carlos. I would also recommend going early to beat the traffic!

Stunning vistas and a special day - Great experience! John, our tour guide, picked us up from our hotel in the morning and drove us to Guatape. We climbed the 700 steps to the top of La Piedra to stunning views. Wow! We then drove to the nearby town of Guatape which was quaint, colorful and photogenic. John took us to some good shopping areas for chocolate, coffee, emeralds and other souvenirs. The tour company and John were great and arranged a birthday surprise for one of our tour members at a local restaurant - thank you for making this a memorable and fantastic day for all of us!

Worth it! - This tour was incredible! Carlos was our guide, and he was wonderful. He picked us up on time at our hotel, and took us out to El Penol, telling us about the area and answering all of our questions. El Penol itself is an intense climb, but the views are so worth it! And then we were able to go into the town of Guatape, wander around, and had a great lunch at a restaurant recommended by Carlos. And, after seeing the multiple group tours all being herded around, we were so glad to have booked a private tour-it’s definitely worth the cost! Overall it was a great day and one we will not forget!

Excellent tour and adventure through a picturesque town with very tasty food - Carlos did an excellent job of educating us and telling us which were the best places in the area. He made sure we visited all the sights and gave us space and time to explore on our own. Guatapé felt very safe and alive.

Amazing tour with John! - John was such an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, kind, and just overall amazing! He adjusted the tour to my needs, and I would have loved to do all of our tours in Columbia with him! John was such a great representative of all warm-hearted Columbians and this stunning country! Touring with him is your biggest luck!

Getting to know Medellín and its surroundings - I recently had the opportunity to book two tours with this company through this means. A trip to El Peñol and Guatapé and a CityTour in Medellín. The attention and guidance of the people who performed the two services: Gustavo, David & Julián was outstanding. We really had a wonderful time. A rating of 100/100. I hope to soon have the opportunity to travel to Medellín again and contract other additional services with Medellín Travels. Ah! Of course, of course, the kindness of your manager, Ms. Lina, in the process of contacting and closing the contracting of services also contributed a lot to this qualification.

Great experience, must do in Medellin - This was a great tour. We always had great communication before the actual tour. Our guide was Erickson. He gave us his number early in the tour so we could keep in touch. We visited El Peñol, which was great, then we went to the damn cruise. Lunch in the cruise was small, but tasty. We also visited Guatapé, which we loved! Just keep in mind we got back to the city almost at 10pm. Between people being late, traffic, it took more time than advertised. However, we loved it!
