Medellín Day Trips is the best! - Another wonderful tour with a fabulous tour agency! Sara was our guide for this tour. She picked us up at our Airbnb, and we had a lovely drive with her to Santa Fe Antioquia. We scheduled this at the last minute due to a cancellation from a different tour company, and both Medellin Day Trips and Sara were so accommodating. Sara was an excellent guide and made sure that my friend and I were comfortable and entertained at all times. She was quite informative and very interesting. I cannot recommend Medellin Day Trips more highly! You will be glad that you booked with them.

A long day and enjoyable visit to Santa Fe de Antioquia - I had a private tour with Erika, who was great to spend the day with. Picking me up right on time, Erika considered the weather and planned our tour accordingly. She made sure that we caught the historic sites and explained their importance to me. We walked across the suspension bridge outside of town (open only to pedestrians and tuk-tuks), which is an engineering wonder; my Colombian friends were surprised that she took the time for this. We walked through the historic district, enjoyed the architectural details. We talked about the importance of Santa Fe in Colombia's history, about the slave markets, and visited 4 important churches, and had lunch at a great spot. On the way home, Erika took me far out of the normal route so I could meet up with my friends. The personal tour was well worth the price, and I had a fantastic day.

Lovely small colonial town - We had a marvellous time with Erika from beginning to end. We learned that Erika was a professional in another field for many years, but she fell in love with being a tour-guide and kept it as her job. We were glad to have someone who loved her job so passionately, happy all the times, well equipped and behaved professionally! Erika took us through the Western Bridge over the Cauca Rive, and into Santa Fe de Antioquia, and was very knowledgable of the places. Did you know the engineer of the Western Bridge, José Maria Villa Villa was also involved as an engineer with the NY Brooklyn Suspension Bridge? Erika engaged us proactively with great conversations throughout the tour. Santa Fe de Antioquia is a small, pretty colonial town with characters. Despite it is small and not as high profile as Guatapé, there are some quaint boutique hotels, restaurants and a small well maintained museum. For those who like gold, there are some small shops selling lovely items. Erika also took us to a local fruit stand, and we ate fruits that we never had before, some didn't even look like fruits at all! It was a breath of fresh air getting away from the crowded Medellin, and we recommend this small town tour, especially with Erika as your guide!

Nice day out from Medellin - Excellent and interesting trip. Sara, our guide and driver was the best ever. We learnt so much about Columbia from a wise and intelligent and very talkative guide. Highly recommended.

Great tour in english with Diana! And with 4 kids under 4. - My family of 5, my friend's family of 3, and my mother-in-law had the pleasure of doing this tour in English with Diana and I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about Santa Fe. We had 4 kids under the age of 4 (2 under the age of 1) and Diana was so flexible and patient with us. She was also very knowledgeable and answered our questions when we were curious to learn more. My nanny is still learning english, and Diana was kind enough to be sure to share the information in spanish as well so she could enjoy the tour too. We also were staying in Santa Fe already so they were able to pick us up but they usually offer this tour with transport FROM Medellin.
