Sebastian was a fantastic tour guide. He was a very safe driver, met all of our needs including relevant comfort and snack breaks as well as being really informative and friendly. We had had very little sleep the night before and Sebastian was great at reading the situation and allowed us to sleep when he was driving, playing low and relaxing music but also made great conversation when asked questions. The paragliding was a fantastic experience and well organised although a lot shorter than expected. We were only actually in the air 7-8 minutes. I feel that for the price, the go-pro video should be included rather than be an additional $50. We decided not to climb Guatapé as it was so busy and the queues we really long especially in the heat and we arrived at 10am too! Was a shame but a tourist attraction like that is always unpredictable with crowds. We also didn’t realise how much driving was involved, approximately 5 hours throughout the trip. Overall, a good trip.

What a fantastic experience! Extremely fun, beautiful view, and exciting adventure for a solo traveler. Julian went above and beyond!! I will definitely use this company again

Excelente! Tenía problemas con mi rinitis alérgica y el guía Esteban siempre estuvo pendiente para sentirme mejor! Buena vibra la gente colombiana

Very good experience from start to Finish. Our guide Tomás was extremely helpful with explaining the day and general vibes.

Very fun, very safe! Great guides who know the local spots. Would completely recommend to others.
