I booked this tour for my parents. My parents are old and probably their first and last visit to Colombia. The tour said include pick at the hotel. They waited in lobby of the hotel on time. The service desk of the hotel knew Transport Cars should pickup them. This company left them stranded in the hotel and then they start sending texts saying that nobody show up to billed the tour without provide any service. Thats completely irresponsible and unacceptable, because you already know the names of the person and the hotel. Why you just showed up in the lobby, identify yourself and the company you work for and ask? So, if you read this message think twice in doing business with Transport Cars in Medelllin Colombia and the cheap Viator company.
Hello, I hope you are doing well. Please tell the users the truth. It's a shame that Viator doesn't allow us to include evidence in reviews. Please indicate that you requested a shared tour. We confirmed a week in advance, informing you of the tour's contents and the pickup time, but you never responded to our messages. Also, please tell the users that when we arrived to pick you up at your hotel at 7:22 am, you never answered our messages or the more than five calls we made. After waiting 20 minutes and receiving no response, the vehicle left. Then you replied to the WhatsApp message at 8:47 AM, which clearly shows that you overslept and that's why you didn't show up on time. We regret that your parents had to go through this bad experience due to your poor management. If your parents are senior citizens, it is your responsibility to inform us so we can give them preferential treatment. At least if you had responded to the messages when we confirmed your reservation, we would have known all those details. To the travelers reading this review, we invite you to check out our profile and our products, which have excellent reviews where users talk about our services. Don't be fooled by comments from irresponsible people who oversleep and don't show up for the tour and then ask for a refund and blame the transportation provider.
Great trip from Medellin. Good conversation with private tranport and guide. Beautiful countryside. Nice stops along the way. Highly recommend that you take a private tour vs. group tout. Overall a very good experience.
Thank you for your kind feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip from Medellín to Guatapé, the pleasant conversation with the driver and guide, as well as the beautiful scenery and stops along the way. We deeply appreciate your recommendation and it would be an honor to welcome you back and provide you with another memorable experience.
In Guatapé we took a boat ride through the reservoir of La Dama. We could learn the history of some properties and the cross that emerges from the lake, replica where the church lay when the village was flooded. We visited the town of guatapé very picturesque and characteristic by its baseboards. The Rock is an original stone of the place. It has a very interesting story. It has 730 steps. From its summit you can see the reservoir.

Incredible Experience in Guatapé with this Transportation Enterprise! The modern and super comfortable car, with air conditioning that saved the heat of the day. The driver, Juan, was an expert: he picked us up at the hotel on time and told us local stories as we went to the Stone of the Penol. Climbing the 740 steps was worth it, and the return was relaxed with photo stops. I recommend 100% for families, it feels like traveling with friends!
