5Guatape day your
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!
2Great sights and experience, very poor company.
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.
5Excellent tour with breath taking acenery
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.

About Medellín
Medellín is Colombia's spring-like city in the Andes, known for its cable cars, vibrant neighbourhoods and remarkable story of transformation.
The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.
Top-ranked sights in Medellín: Guatapé (Pueblo de Zócalos), Plaza Botero, Pueblito Paisa .
