Hola! Muchísimas gracias por tus comentarios. Nos hace muy felices saber que disfrutaste del recorrido y que la atención de Melisa estuvo a la altura. Valoramos mucho que destaques nuestra puntualidad y la información compartida. Esperamos volver a verte o tus recomendados.
Our trip to Guatapé was absolutely amazing! The scenery was beautiful, and we had such a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Patricia, was incredible—very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the entire trip. She made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves every step of the way. I would definitely recommend this tour and Patricia as a guide!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had an amazing time on your trip to Guatapé and that Patricia made your experience so special. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to her. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Gautape is lovely and the rock is a must see. The bus was very basic and noisy. Patricia The guide was very poor. She only spoke to the front rows of the bus and only in Spanish. I understand Spanish but couldn’t hear anything she said. I asked several times for her to turn up the loudspeaker but nothing. I would recommend the tour but not with this company.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the unexpected failure of the bus's audio system during your tour. The vehicle was sent directly for inspection and repair immediately after the trip. While we fully understand your frustration regarding the sound, we want to assure future travelers of the high quality of our team and service. Patricia has been an exemplary guide with us for over 10 years. Out of more than 2,000 completed bookings, this is the very first complaint related to her service. In fact, on that same departure, other travelers expressed their sincere appreciation for her guidance and dedication. We regret that a sudden mechanical failure affected your experience, and the issue has already been resolved to ensure our vehicles remain in top condition.
Excellent fun tour. Informative tour guide and very helpful. She gave us more ideas about other tours to take. Well in our budget and without braking the bank.

It was a very pleasant, rich, productive, and complete trip. A lot of organization, from beginning to end. I wish to highlight the professionalism of Guia Luz Evans. My wife felt very ill during one of the outings, with sudden fainting spells and a highly worrying condition. Nothing had to do with the trip itself, but Luz sought immediate medical help, stayed with us the whole time, managed the group because of the delay, even though I asked her to continue and we would return later. Luz played the role of an exemplary Guide, managing the situation and at the same time giving us all the support. In the end, we returned well to the hotel, with my wife's gradual recovery. Congratulations and thank you very much, Luz Evans
