Guatape, a magical place.
The excursion was excellent, we visited very beautiful places, and the landscapes are gorgeous. The only thing we didn't like was that we didn't get to have lunch or eat anything since the excursion included breakfast and lunch, I understand that the price we paid was super cheap, but I think they should have told us to eat something since the portions were very small. And we also had lunch super late. They arrived 45 minutes late, we left We had breakfast to be on time and in the end they didn't notify us to tell us about the delay, I know they don't control the traffic but it was their duty to send people a message explaining the reason for the delay, afterwards everything was excellent, I recommend the excursion 100%, they just need to work on that part.

Great Deal!!
I traveled with my partner, mother and her boyfriend. We really enjoyed this tour. Customer Service was amazing. Our tour guide was "Ale" and she answered all the questions we had during the full tour very kindly. What to expect: A GREAT TIME The tour is basically full day. They served is breakfast and lunch which was great. We made like 6 stops. Piedra el Peñol Viejo y Nuevo Peñol Alto del Chocho Pueblito Paisa And the boat ride where we saw Ruins of what use to be one of Pablo Escobar's properties. We learned a lot and enjoyed every single minute. My family and I rated it 10/10.

Great day trip from Medellin
Our guide Sebastian ensured everything went as smoothly as possible and arranged everything perfectly, including a little detour for a small part of the group. The time allocated for each stop was more than enough to appreciate them and the places were spectacular
