We loved the tour! We were with 2 adults and 1 kid (9 years). Carlos is leading the tour very well, clear information and with humor. Enough good food, activities and comfortable bus. Might happen you face some traffic jams back to Medellin. Just to take in account. Strongly recommended to join this tour!

Our guide, Carlos, was friendly and engaging and made us feel welcome. There was a great balance of doing stuff as a group with Carlos vs him giving us free time to go explore. Our driver, Javier, got us there and back very smoothly. Highly recommend!
