“The operator for this tour, Camilo was and has been very helpful during our entire trip to Medellin. For this trip, Silvio, our tour guide was absolutely amazing. He was very engaging and funny. Unfortunately, I came down with a bad case of food poisoning from something I ate before the trip started. Halfway through the trip I became very ill and Silvio was very accommodating. He stopped every time I needed a break. I would definitely use this tour company again and I hope to see Silvio on our next trip to Medellin.”

“The car they sent to me broke a few minutes after we left for our tour. We had to be taken back to the hotel. But I need to congratulate Camilo. He quickly found a replacement car and guide and sent them to the hotel. Unfortunately, at that moment, we had already booked another tour (since we didn't have time to waste). These things happen. Camilo and his company did everything to get it fixed. But since we had already gone, they gave us a full refund on Viator. I would recommend this company to anyone who comes to Medellin. We all loved their punctuality and accountability.”

Views from the top of the rock are stellar, the surrounding terrain, lake, and village should not be missed! Fabio is a very knowledgeable, witty guide from the Medellin area. He shared tons of information about the Medellin/Guatape area with us. 😁”

He was friendly and knowledgeable, and took us to a great BBQ place on the way home for lunch. Highly recommend the private tour for ease in what are VERY busy tourist sites with many buses, etc- so being in your own car is much better. For that, the price is reasonable and the cost worth it.”

“We spent 2 days with Carlos exploring Medellin and nearby towns. We enjoyed the walk thru Comuna 13, metro-cable ride, etc on the first dsy. Carlos shared a lot of stories, some related to historic events, some to everyfay life in Colombia. Each of the days we stopped at a place for lunch and tried local cuisine. Carlos was on time and we had good communication beforehand via WhatsApp. In Guatape we climbed the rock and walked thru colorful towns. Unfortunately we did not get to see the waterfalls that were listed in the tour description - i guess we ran out of time. Otherwise, it was a pleasant tour.”

Private day trip from Medellín to colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia, with Puente de Occidente, historic center stroll, and a stop in San Jerónimo.

“Fabio is our guide and he is very funny and very good photographer as well. When we reach the Santa Fe bridge, we were with a local guide and he started telling the history about the bridge and Fabio was our translator. He translated the history into English and how the bridge was built and where the builder gets the inspiration. He was very precise to his translation and fluent. He felt bad when the car broke down on our way to Medellin but thank goodness this happened when we are still in Santa Fe. He never left us and make sure that we are ok until our new ride…”

“It was an excellent experience. Our guide Daniel and the driver Gustavo were very helpful, professional, and polite. They made sure everything went perfectly, and the tour is absolutely worth visiting. We did the helicopter tour and it was spectacular. Daniel helped us arrange the reservation, and if you have the opportunity, I highly recommend doing it. It’s a short flight but offers beautiful views and is truly a unique experience. The stairs are not difficult to climb at all, so don’t hesitate—go for it! It’s something you shouldn’t miss. The only downside was the initial communication. The person who contacted me at the beginning stated that the meeting time…”
