Undoubtedly an opportunity to do this tour if you have few days in the city and do not want to miss anything . 🇨🇴❤️🇨🇴Highly recommended!!
We thank Alejandro and Juan very much for such a beautiful experience.
¡Qué satisfacción tan grande saber que la pasaron de maravilla en Guatapé! Alejandro y Juan hacen un equipo impresionante; le meten todo el cariño y la atención a cada detalle para que el viaje se sienta cómodo, entretenido y muy especial desde el primer minuto. Ya que se disfrutaron ese paisaje de embalse y zócalos, para la próxima salida se pueden armar un plan bien diferente. Les sugiero lanzarse a conocer las historias de superación, el arte callejero y la música en la Comuna 13, o si quieren vivir una jornada bien autóctona en el campo, el Tour del Café es una opción brutal. ¡Sinceros agradecimientos por preferirnos! Saludos de parte de Alejandro, Juan y toda la familia Aeroturex.
Janet treated us with a lot of love at Parque El Poblado, and that is why I decided to book the Guatape Adventure tour with you. Our guide Juan was excellent and made us feel super good. Everything was well explained and, above all, with a bit of humor to cheer us up. The driver, Alejandro, was always very careful while driving. Thanks
¡Esa conexión con Janet desde el Parque El Poblado fue solo el comienzo de un día genial con la mezcla perfecta entre el humor de Juan y la destreza al volante de Alejandro! Nos llena el corazón saber que ese cariño, las explicaciones claras y el buen ambiente te acompañaron en cada tramo hacia Guatapé. Para que sigas conociendo lo mejor de la región con otro tipo de vibra, te invitamos a subirte a la Party Bus para vivir la rumba paisa sobre ruedas con la mejor energía, o hacer una inmersión completa en la cultura cafetera con nuestro Tour del Café paseando entre fincas y aromas únicos; ¡infinitas gracias por rodar con Aeroturex y te esperamos con los brazos abiertos en la próxima! 🎉☕🇨🇴✨
I've never taken so many pictures in one trip. Amazing place. Our guide, Daniel was great!
That’s the Guatapé effect! Between those vibrant zócalos in the town and the 360° views from the top of the Rock, it’s basically impossible to put the camera down. We’re so glad Daniel was there to bring the whole experience to life and make sure you didn't miss a single iconic shot! When you’re ready to fill up your phone’s memory card all over again, we’d love to take you through the incredible street art of Comuna 13 or ride through the stunning lush landscapes on our Coffee Tour. Thanks a ton for snapping memories with Aeroturex—until next time! 📸⛰️
Great value trip, lunch was good, saw a lot of cool things and cool views, as well as learned a lot. Daniel was a solid guide and Alejandro was the best driver ever, we popped a tire on the way there and had to wait for another bus, but he still made it to Guatape on time.
Now that is what we call absolute rockstar logistics! Alejandro handling that tire situation like an absolute legend to get you to Guatapé right on schedule—without missing a single beat or view—is the exact hustle and dedication we live for at Aeroturex. And paired with Daniel's solid insights, great food, and killer views, it sounds like an adventure for the books! When you're ready to stack up more incredible views and top-tier value, we’d love to take you high into the mountains for the Coffee Tour or dive straight into the vibrant energy of the Comuna 13 experience. Huge thanks for shouting out the team's quick recovery and for rolling with us! 🛞💥⛰️
My group and I were a party of 5 total. We wanted to rent the 5 seater jeep experience when it came to La Manuela (the Pablo Escobar experience) and were told that it was not available because a party of 2 rented it out already, but that I could rent out 2-3 ATVs that seated 2-3 people. I asked her why would she allow that knowing when we checked in at the meeting location that she had 2 groups of 4+ people. She said there was nothing she could do. Regardless, I ended up booking the 2 ATVs as it was a hot and humid day. But when we arrived, our tour guide didn’t even give us proper instructions of who was our tour guide or where to go. We ended up being approached by one of the guides asking who’s group we belonged to because we weren’t standing in any of the 2 groups (we were off to the side standing around since we weren’t given instruction). At EVERY stop on this trip (and I mean EVERY), the same woman who purchased the 5 seater jeep for a party of 2 was late to the bus to continue on to the next location. Everyone was complaining about this and nothing was done. But mind you with every location she was late to return to the bus for, was time lost at the next place. The bus driver was even annoyed, as I overheard him telling our tour guide in Spanish that we were behind schedule and to be more firm with the group on timeframes…yet everyone but this one party was at the bus early, if not, on time. To the point where once we got to the peñol it was 708 steps each way up and down, and we were only given 40 mins to do that and return to the bus. That’s how much time was lost from this woman taking her time returning to from the alpaca stop, La Manuela stop (which we waited for her daughter to arrive to the boat late giggling with one of the tour guides who gave her a separate tour and blew her kisses as the boat took off), and so on. She must have tipped her a good tip or known her personally to let her run her our tour at her own leisure at the cost of everybody else. Had she been more strict with timeframes, this tour would have been 5/5 all around. The value for everything you get to see is great. Hopefully they see this review and put this into consideration.
It means a lot that you took the time to write such a detailed, honest breakdown of your trip. Knowing that you found the actual tour value and sights awesome—even with the frustrating moments—is something we truly appreciate, and we want to thank you for bringing every single one of these details to light. Your feedback about the vehicle organization, the lack of clear direction at the ATV stop, and the severe lack of time enforcement from the guide is extremely serious. It is never okay for one party's tardiness to eat into everyone else’s hard-earned time at major stops like El Peñol, nor should anyone ever feel left hanging without clear instructions. Please rest assured that we are taking this report straight to our operations team. We are actively investigating and validating what happened with the guides on duty regarding group logistics, time management, and professional standards during that run. Thorough reports like yours are precisely what allow us to hold our staff accountable and make immediate structural fixes. Thank you again for helping us step up our service. We’re glad the overall route and value made a strong impression, and we’re on it to make sure the guiding quality matches that same standard every single time.
Great tour, excellent experience, everything was perfectly measured and organized, the guide Juan was very pleasant and professional in everything he did.
¡Qué nota saber que cada minuto del día encajó a la perfección y que viviste una jornada tan brutal! ⛰️✨ La logística impecable se disfruta el doble cuando al frente va un profesional de la talla de Juan, que con su energía y ese toque ameno hace que el recorrido fluya como ningún otro. ¡Ya mismo le mandamos tu abrazo y tu felicitación para que celebre el reconocimiento! Mil y mil gracias por confiar en nuestra tripulación y por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu experiencia con tanta emoción. Para tu próximo viaje, si quieres pasar de la majestuosidad de la piedra al color, el ritmo y la historia viva de la ciudad, tienes que acompañarnos a la Comuna 13, o si prefieres una experiencia llena de aromas y paisajes montañeros, te esperamos con los brazos abiertos en el Tour del Café. ¡Un abrazo gigante y que sigan las rutas inolvidables! 🎨☕🎉
A great experience with Juan and Alejandro; they made the trip very pleasant and safe, always with a smile and giving us security and a real vision of the Colombian situation and history. To find a fault, I don't know if it is their fault or the hotel's, they don't drop us off at the hotel on the way back, they drop us off at the meeting point.
Esa sonrisa y esa autenticidad de Juan y Alejandro son pura vibra paisa de la buena, y nos alegra infinitamente saber que te hicieron sentir tan seguro, bien atendido y conectado con la historia real de nuestra tierra en Guatapé! Nos llena el corazón saber que la pasaron fenomenal, y sobre lo que comentas del punto de retorno, te aclaramos con mucho cariño que por cuestiones de movilidad y logística de la ciudad el recorrido finaliza en los puntos de encuentro establecidos, pero tomamos nota para que la información siempre esté súper clara desde el primer minuto. Para que te quites ese sabor agridulce y sigas disfrutando al máximo de Medellín, nos encantaría llevarte a recorrer la historia de transformación y el color en la Comuna 13, o montarte a la Gastrochiva para consentirte con la mejor sazón y fiesta sobre ruedas. ¡Un abrazo gigante de todo el equipo! ⛰️🎨🍹
Very cool tour, the guide was very nice, they were very punctual and helped my friends who didn't speak Spanish a lot, the food was very tasty and the places they took us to were definitely worth it.
¡Qué felicidad tan enorme nos da leer tu mensaje! Saber que nuestro guía se lució con esa buena onda, que la puntualidad estuvo de diez y que pudimos romper la barrera del idioma para que tus amigos disfrutaran cada segundo del Tour de Guatapé nos llena el corazón. Nada nos alegra más que saber que se gozaron la comida deliciosa y que cada rincón recorrido valió la pena al máximo. Para que la aventura en Medellín siga con el nivel por las nubes, los invitamos a sumergirse en la historia, el arte y el ritmo urbano recorriendo las calles de la Comuna 13, o si prefieren cambiar el paisaje por una noche de fiesta inolvidable con sabores tradicionales, armen parche de una vez en la Gastrochiva. ¡Les mandamos un abrazo gigante a ti y a tus amigos de parte de toda la familia! ⛰️🎨🍹
Excellent good service, nice experience
