Daniel was our guide and he was great! On the day of our tour, both main roads were closed to Guatape, but Daniel was diligent on finding a way to the town. Many of the locals were unaware of the closure to the roads to Guatape. We took the back roads, a bit bumpy, but without Daniel's resourcefulness, we wouldn't have made it to Guatape. The tour itself was great and I would definitely go again myself and recommend!

My partner and I had an awesome time with our guide, Fabio. He suggested that we start the day early to avoid crowds and traffic (it was a great suggestion). Guatape is a gorgeous area! Views from the top of the rock are stellar, the surrounding terrain, lake, and village should not be missed! Fabio is a very knowledgeable, witty guide from the Medellin area. He shared tons of information about the Medellin/Guatape area with us. 😁
