We really enjoyed our day trip to Guatapé. Patricia our guide was attentive, knowledgeable and very kind. Tour was punctual in its timing, and good value for money. The bandeja paisa option for lunch in Guatapé was good, though the breakfast was poorer by comparison. Overall a great day and would recommend!

Trip was fabulous- only negative I can say is the boat ride seems like a filler and I could’ve done without the boat but everything else was beautiful and our tour guide, yuli, was just wonderful. Time is limited so listen to her advice and follow the instructions and you will have a great time.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review! 😊🌟 We're glad to know you enjoyed the tour and that your experience with Yuli was so positive. 🙌Regarding the boat ride, every traveler has their own tastes and rhythms, and we greatly appreciate that. At the same time, for many visitors, this time at the reservoir is one of their favorite parts of the day, as it allows them to relax,

This was an excellent and exciting tour led by our fantastic guide Carlos Carmona. Carlos was super friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. We were also very fortunate to have had Mr. Duber as our driver extraordinaire. He kept us safe and punctual throughout the whole trip.
