Our guide, Mateo, was amazing!! We had several private tours throughout our vacation in Colombia and Mateo was by far the BEST. his English was perfect, he was so friendly and knowledgeable. His vehicle was comfortable. And best of all we never felt rushed! Best guide ever! We will recommend him to all our friends! Guatapé was beautiful and climbing the rock was great!
