Our day trip tour to Guatape was great. Maria, Sandy (English interpreter), and Don Luis (tour bus driver) were all extremely sweet and helpful. Maria and Sandy are very knowledgeable. From the pick up point meet up, to the moment we got back to the pick up point at the end of the tour, everything went perfectly smooth. Lunch was great, the boat tour, walking tour, and free time to explore on our own was perfect. Thank you Maria, Sandy and Don Luis!! 10/10 recommend.
