An immersive experience - I thoroughly enjoyed the tour to the hanging bridge and Santa Fe. Joe, my guide, customised my visit to my interests and abilities. He shared with me a wealth of information above and beyond the places we visited. We talked about society, culture, economy, the people, every day life in Colombia. The scenery on our way was beautiful; the mountains with hundreds of shades of green, the clouds, the roads. The hanging bridge over the river was a very pleasant walk. Our visit to Santa Fe involved strolling through the town, a very refreshing drink and a visit to the church. I returned back full and fulfilled. Definitely Joe played a great role in this and for this I am grateful.

Day trip to Santa Fe de Antioquia from Medellin - We booked this tour pretty last minute, and we are very happy that we did. The trip itself was fun, and it was made better by our tour guide/driver Luis Alberto. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did he provided information about the town of Santa Fe, he also shared with us information about other areas of Colombia. He also helped us take a lot of pictures. The place we had lunch was beautiful, and the food was excellent (highly recommend the baby beef.) The last stop of the tour was the Puente de Occidente and it's definitely one of the highlight. Highly recommend this trip, definitely worth the time and money if you have an extra day at Medellin.

Santa Fe - Wonderful Colonial Town - Great tour of Santa Fe. Very interesting old colonial city. It has an incredible central square and lots of wonderful old churches. There is also a museum with the Declaration of Independence for the state from the Spanish crown. In the Colonial days, Santa Fe was the largest city in the area; it was later that people started moving to Medellin. I highly recommend the tour. Ask for Joe, he is a great guide.

Spectacular - Luis Alberto is a great guide! Very wise and knowledgeable about everything. Very good talk, great music in the car and conversation about everything and for all tastes. Santa Fe was very nice and Luis made it more special with his conversations during lunch. Super recommended. 😃

A very quaint town of Santa Fe - Fabio is our guide and he is very funny and very good photographer as well. When we reach the Santa Fe bridge, we were with a local guide and he started telling the history about the bridge and Fabio was our translator. He translated the history into English and how the bridge was built and where the builder gets the inspiration. He was very precise to his translation and fluent. He felt bad when the car broke down on our way to Medellin but thank goodness this happened when we are still in Santa Fe. He never left us and make sure that we are ok until our new ride arrives. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to come with us as he need to contact a tow truck and take the car to mechanic. He keeps checking on us via text and make sure that we arrive in our hotel in one piece! :) We were relieve to know that he came home safe to Medellin later that night.

I'll never forget the motorcycles. - Santa Fe is fascinating but you'll never think you're being transported into an earlier century because the colonial streets are crammed with noisy motorcycles. The museums are the only way to get away from them. Luis was helpful and informative but he tends to say things are "old" which doesn't say much and although I was obviously having fun, he constantly asked me if I was enjoying myself.
