This isn't just any tour; it's an experience that stirs emotions and connects you with places you don't just visit, you experience. What makes this trip special is how Guatapé envelops you with its colors, history, and vibrant energy. Climbing the Piedra del Peñol isn't just about conquering a peak; it's about stopping time in front of a breathtaking view. Entering Pablo Escobar's estate is like exploring the traces of a complex past that still lives on in every corner. And at the exotic animal farm, surprise and tenderness combine to remind us how wonderful nature can be. This tour is different because every place has a soul, every flavor tells a story, and every moment is shared. It's not just seeing, it's feeling, tasting, touching, connecting. At the end of the day, you won't come back the same: you'll take with you unique memories, stories worth their weight in gold, and a genuine sense of having discovered something extraordinary.

Would do it again!
Juan and Alejandro were great during our tour! Juan was very knowledgeable and shared great bits of history with us. He also accommodated both an English and Spanish tour, which was helpful. The views, food, and history were 10/10!
Operator response
Hearing that you had a 10/10 experience on the Guatapé tour is everything we work for! Juan is a master at weaving local history into the journey while keeping both English and Spanish speakers fully engaged, and Alejandro makes sure the entire ride is smooth as can be.
Since you conquered the rock and soaked in the countryside views, you should definitely discover the urban side of the region on your next trip. You can explore the incredible street art, music, and social transformation of the Comuna 13 tour, or gear up for a lively night out tasting local flavors aboard the Gastrochiva.
Thanks a lot for the awesome feedback, and we can’t wait to have you back on board for round two!

It was an overall really great trip! Our guide Adriana was very nice and took good care of us. Overall, it was very tightly scheduled; the stop at the llama farm could be left out as far as I am concerned, and a little more time could be planned for Guatape instead. Still recommended!
Operator response
Vielen Dank für das ehrliche und detaillierte Feedback! Es freut uns riesig, dass Adriana sich so aufmerksam um euch gekümmert hat und der Ausflug insgesamt ein Erfolg war.
Deinen Hinweis zum Zwischenstopp bei der Alpaka-Farm und der Zeitaufteilung in Guatapé nehmen wir sehr ernst. Genau diese Rückmeldungen helfen unserem Planungsteam, die Routen weiter zu verfeinern und das Erlebnis vor Ort noch entspannter zu gestalten.
Wenn ihr das nächste Mal in Medellín seid und die Gegend ohne straffen Zeitplan erkunden wollt, empfehlen wir euch unser Programm Paisa por un día, um tief in das Alltagsleben der Einheimischen einzutauchen, oder einen Ausflug in die Kaffeeregion mit unserem Tour del Café.
Danke für die Empfehlung und beste Grüße aus Medellín!

Ten out of ten
Adri the tour guide and Alijo were wonderful and helpful.
She makes sure everybody is happy

Operator response
That is the highest mark we could ever ask for! Adri has an absolute gift for looking out for everyone and making sure no one leaves without a huge smile on their face, and having Alejo on the team guarantees everything runs without a single hitch. They really do make a dream team.
Since Adri and Alejo set the bar so high on this outing, you should definitely check out a completely different face of the region on your next visit. You could spend a day surrounded by green hills tasting authentic coffee straight from the source on our Tour del Café, or dive deep into local street art, music, and urban transformation with the Comuna 13 experience.
Huge appreciation for leaving such a great note—pass our best to Adri and Alejo, and take care until next time!

Operator response
¡Saber que coronaron las montañas de Guatapé con la mejor vibra del mundo nos pone el corazón a latir a mil! ⛰️🇨🇴 Es que cuando juntas el talento de Juan en la guianza con la maestría de El Rojo en la vía, no hay forma de que el recorrido no sea una belleza total. ¡Un millón de gracias por contagiarnos esa emoción y por tratarnos de "el mejor tour"! Ya pusimos a Juan y a El Rojo a brincar en un pie de la alegría con tu mensaje. Para cuando regreses a la ciudad y quieras sentir el arte urbano, el hip-hop y la historia de transformación más brutal de Medellín, te esperamos con los brazos abiertos en la Comuna 13, o si prefieres aprender a cosechar y preparar un buen tinto en una finca campesina, se nos vienen al Tour del Café. 🎨☕🎉

Operator response
Hearing how much you enjoyed zipping through the lake on those jetskis and taking in the history at La Manuela makes our day so much brighter! 🚤✨ Having Juan and El Rojo leading the way with that warm hospitality, along with our amazing curly-haired guide making the mansion stop so legendary, is exactly what the Guatapé Tour is all about. A massive thank you for bringing such awesome energy and taking the time to drop this love for the crew! We've already passed your compliments over to Juan, El Rojo, and the rest of the team so they can celebrate. Whenever you're back in town, you definitely have to come soak in the inspiring street art and music on the Comuna 13 tour, or dive into local flavors and night lights aboard the Gastrochiva! 🎨🍹🎉

Trip with friends to Guatapé.
Juan the guide and Alex the driver made the trip very pleasant from early on. Juan explained every activity and the time we would have in detail. The trip to the hacienda is something very cool and interesting. We did climb the Peñol de Guatapé, so it is a tour that demands a certain physical level; other than that, it was very pleasant and incredible.
Operator response
Subir esos 740 escalones del Peñol con la tropa de amigos no es cualquier cosa, ¡pero la recompensa de esa vista panorámica paga cada gota de sudor! 🧗♂️⛰️ Nos alegra un montón que el grupo se le haya medido al reto físico y que hayan disfrutado tanto la parada en la hacienda.
Saber que Juan mantuvo la ruta súper clara con los tiempos y las actividades desde temprano, mientras Alex marcaba un viaje suave y seguro en la vía, nos deja felices. Cuando la logística es fina y la compañía es buena, el día vuela. ¡Ya le mandamos la felicitación a ese par de tesos!
Muchísimas gracias por venir con tu parche de amigos a gozarse el día con nosotros. Si la próxima vez quieren mantener esa misma vibra de grupo pero en un plan 100% de fiesta y luces por la ciudad, el Party Bus es la que es; o si buscan otro choque visual lleno de historia, grafitis y escaleras eléctricas, los esperamos en la Comuna 13.
¡Un abrazo gigante para todo el grupo de parte de Juan, Alex y la tripulación! 🥳🎨🚌
