The experience was phenomenal, super excellent, I loved it… Lina is the best guide there is, seriously. I thank God for people like her, so attentive and helpful. At all times, she took care of us and attended to us super well. The driver was also excellent and very attentive. I am grateful for the service… this tour was awesome, thank you so much. Without Lina and Wilmar, we would not have achieved it. Highly recommended, thank you very much. God bless you. Until next time Glory
Awesome, I loved the excellent service.
Beautiful...the spectacular landscape...good lunch and good professionals to accompany.
We enjoyed this wonderful place very much; the view from the top of the rock is spectacular, the climb was easier than I imagined, and along the way, we visited several places. Panamericana Viajes is a highly recommended agency; they picked us up at the hotel very punctually, our guide Mónica explained everything about the places visited, and she was attentive to everything. Highly recommended!!!
The place and the visit to Guatapé with the Peñol rock was an excellent tour, a beautiful experience! The drivers were very punctual and very kind, and the guide was the best! I took the best memory of Medellín thanks to them.
Guide Monica was an excellent host. Excellent knowledge of the place, the history, and the guided path to reach the rock. Everything was very well guided
The excursion is very complete, and you see everything very well! Lina María is a sweetheart, an exceptional guide! And Jonatan, the driver, is very attentive at all times, both of them are very kind and approachable! Thank you for your attentions!
The experience with Tatiana on the Guatapé Tour was very good, as she shared a lot of knowledge and closeness, telling us the entire history of the area we were exploring and took us to see spectacular places. We recommend her 100%. Thank you!!
