Excellent service and service. Private group for ourselves. We were 7 people and the guide Oscar was great
¡Muchas gracias por tu reseña! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron del servicio y de la experiencia en grupo privado. Será un placer compartir tus palabras con Oscar; estamos seguros de que le encantará saber que contribuyó a que pasaran un gran día. ¡Gracias por confiar en nosotros!
If you’re looking for a one on one personal experience to tour the city of Guatape, this is it! Ms Yuly was our private tour guide and she was phenomenal. She gave us the ultimate VIP experience. From the fruit tastings, to rock climbing to ATV rides across Guatape, this was worth every penny! Ms. Yuly thank you for making our last day the most memorable.
Thank you for your review. We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed such a personalized and memorable experience in Guatapé. It’s wonderful to know Yuly made your day special with fruit tastings, rock climbing, and the ATV rides. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.
I highly recommend booking with this group. We had Oscar and he was phenomenal. From the knowledge of his country to how personable he is. In fact, we enjoyed the first tour to Communa 13 and around Medellin so much we booked a second tour to visit Guatapé with him. 5 star experience for a private tour! Can’t wait to be back!
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear how much you enjoyed both tours and that the experience with Oscar inspired you to book a second day. It’s great to know the private Guatapé tour lived up to a five-star experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.
Oscar was a fantastic tour guide! Very knowledgable, took us to all the best spots. It’s such a beautiful place and definitely the highlight of our visit to Medellin!
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed visiting Guatapé and that the tour felt like a highlight of your time in Medellín. It’s great to know the experience and locations made such a strong impression.
This tour was totally fine. Joshua provided information on the way to the rock. We paid for his lunch & were not thanked. After lunch, we walk through town and paid for his coffee again no thank you. We got a little bit more information about the community and then he was silent unless we asked direct questions and we got a brief answer. We opted for the private boat tour. We were told the fee to pay with a credit card was 10%….. Really!?! Then we got on a boat that had an issue and wouldn't get up to speed. The boat driver climbed on top of us several times to get to the motor. We spent so much time trying to get the boat to work that it speed from point to point to get the ride over with. We did get a bunch of unsolicited photos of his child but No fruit tasting was offered or provided which is described in the itinerary. Finally before we started the hours drive back we were directed to a building to use the bathroom but they wouldn't let us use it. Joshua said that was weird and they should have and then we just got in the car. so knowing we had to use the bathroom along the drive after an hour we had to ask again. From the start his driving was aggressive and that is coming from someone who drives in Chicago for a living. We were is several cars in Columbia and this was unique to this tour. There are great reviews for other guides and none for Joshua so maybe he is new or maybe it was an off day. We booked last second so we were glad they had availability. Was it worth the price to get picked up at our lodging and not be on a bus yes but the customer service has room for improvement.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry that your experience didn’t meet your expectations in several areas and appreciate your honesty. We understand how the issues with the boat, the fruit tasting, and other aspects of the tour could have been frustrating, and we will address them to improve future experiences. We’re grateful for your patience and understanding throughout the day, and for taking the time to share your thoughts—it helps us make meaningful improvements.
Our visit to La Piedra del Peñol with Julio as our guide was truly unforgettable. Julio was kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable—not just about Colombia’s history and culture, but also about so many random, interesting facts. There were many moments where it felt like he was part of our group, not just our guide. Climbing the rock was both fun and adventurous. Tip: bring comfortable shoes and hydrate the night before—it makes a big difference! After the climb, we went jet skiing on the massive lake. The views were stunning, and although we didn’t go too far to avoid getting lost, it was still an amazing experience. Julio then recommended a restaurant called La Fogata—the food was delicious! If you like spice, definitely try their homemade salsa. Afterward, we explored the colorful streets of Guatapé, where there are plenty of shops for souvenirs. The vibrant buildings and beautiful “zocalos” (decorative panels) are a must-see—each one tells a unique story. Overall, this tour was the highlight of our trip, and we left feeling like we had gained a new friend in Julio. Highly recommend!
Wow—thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear your day with Julio was such an unforgettable adventure. He has a real gift for blending history, culture, fun facts, and good humor (plus great food tips 🌶️🍽️). From climbing La Piedra to jet skiing on the lake and strolling through colorful Guatapé, it sounds like the perfect mix of adventure and discovery. Most of all, we love that you left feeling like you’d gained a new friend—that’s exactly the kind of connection we hope every guest experiences. Thanks again for recommending us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Great day with Andres, he really looked after us and made sure we got a lot out of our Guatapé trip. He really loves his coffee! Would highly recommend!
Thank you so much! We're thrilled you had a great day with Andrés—he’s passionate about sharing Guatapé and his love for coffee (it's basically in his DNA ☕😊). Thanks for the recommendation, and we’d love to have you back anytime!
We loved the tour! Our guide was Henry and he was super friendly. I liked that it was a private tour because we had the opportunity to decide how much time to spend in each activity. I would recommend this tour to everyone!
¡Mil gracias por tu mensaje! Nos alegra muchísimo que hayan disfrutado el tour con Henry—¡es un crack y siempre va al ritmo del grupo! 😊 Los tours privados tienen esa magia de adaptarse a ustedes, y nos encanta que lo aprovecharan al máximo. ¡Gracias por recomendarnos y ojalá nos volvamos a ver pronto para otra aventura!
This tour was an incredible experience that allowed me to discover the beauty and culture of Guatapé. Our guide Henry was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, explained everything about the history and culture of the town, and took us to amazing places like the Peñon de Guatapé, the replica of the old village and ended the day using jet skis. I definitely recommend it.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and Henry’s guidance. Your recommendation means a lot, and we're thrilled you had such a memorable day exploring Guatapé!
The Guatapé + Coffee Farm Tour is a must-do when visiting Medellín! Henry was an exceptional guide—his knowledge and experience were clear throughout the day. At each stop, we had ample personal time and never felt rushed. He shared fantastic food and shopping recommendations, both during the tour and for the rest of our time in Colombia. Henry was professional, yet personable, matching our energy to create a truly unique experience. Guatapé was absolutely stunning—from climbing La Piedra to strolling through the historic, colorful town. One of the highlights was visiting El Peñol coffee farm, where we met the warm family behind the delicious Café Oriente Excelso. It was an unforgettable experience, especially for any coffee lover. We can’t wait to return to Colombia and book another tour with Tourguides Medellín!
Thank you for sharing your amazing experience! We're thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the tour, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words to Henry. Looking forward to welcoming you back to Colombia soon!
