Absolutely wonderful adventure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

David Garcia was our awesome guide today, his English was impeccable and his knowledge of Medillin, Guatape and Colombia were amazing. He is genuinely proud of his country. He was punctual, friendly and he took us up the rock at Guatape, we enjoyed a helicopter ride - definitely worth the extra $, and then a boat ride across the lake. He took us to an authentic Colombian lunch in Guatape and then for a walk round the beautiful town with the colourful houses. We concluded our day feeding llamas at a petting zoo 🩷 5 stars for David ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

He took us everywhere, to climb Guatape Rock, on a helicopter tour, on a boat ride, we had an authentic Colombian lunch and we got to feed Llamas before he dropped us off. A full and memorable day ❤️

A View Worth Every Step: El Peñón de Guatapé

Our visit to El Peñón de Guatapé was absolutely unforgettable. Climbing the 740 steps was well worth it for the breathtaking panoramic views at the top — an endless tapestry of blue lakes and lush green islands, dotted with charming homes nestled in the hills. It truly felt like we were standing above a painting. After the climb, we explored the vibrant town of Guatapé, and it was just as magical. Every street was filled with colorful murals, charming zócalos, and a warm, welcoming energy. The mix of natural beauty and artistic flair made this one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Colombia. Felipe made our trip amazing and we highly recommend!

An unforgettable tour thanks to Gabriel!

An unforgettable tour thanks to Gabriel! I was fortunate to live a spectacular experience with the private tour to Guatapé, and without a doubt what made all the difference was our guide, Gabriel. From the beginning, his professionalism, charisma and knowledge made every part of the tour special. The helicopter ride was impressive, a unique way to appreciate the majesty of the Guatapé Rock and reservoir. Climbing the rock was an incredible adventure, rewarded with breathtaking views. And to close with a golden clasp, the boat ride allowed us to relax and enjoy the surroundings in their fullest glory. Everything was perfectly organized, but the most valuable thing was Gabriel's accompaniment. His passion for what he does, attention to detail and positive energy made this tour an unforgettable experience. If you’re thinking about doing this tour, don’t hesitate: do it, and hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to have Gabriel as your guide. Thanks for everything, Gabriel!
