“Luis was a wonderful tour guide! He picked us up from our hotel in the morning (so convenient!) and provided interesting information as we made our way to Guatapé and to climb the Peñon de Guatapé.

Review of a private Guatapé day trip from Medellín with Pablo Escobar’s mansion, ATVs, paintball, boating, Piedra del Peñol, and lunch.
“This was by far one of the best excursions I have ever booked. First I have to say our guide Alex is the man. He picked us up from our Airbnb in a comfortable car, aloud us to tap into his wifi, he also was extremely knowledgeable of the Columbian culture in different areas, gave us a run down of the history of Pablo Escobar, and that was before we even got to the actual excursion. Let me say that the property is absolutely stunning. I'll let you see it for yourself because words won't do it justice. We rode ATVs around the property with brief stops here and there…”

“We chose a private tour hoping to have a more personalized experience and learn details about the surrounding area and Guatape itself. Our guide (also our driver) was not very knowledgeable (about Guay or Columbia in general) and spent the entire tour socializing with friends at each destination. We spent quite a bit of time waiting for the guide to move onto the next Landmark while he was flirting with the female staff. The drive was one of the most miserable experiences for all of us. We spent two hours both directions listening to music that ranged from opera, heavy metal, Irish folk etc and, despite numerous requests to turn…”
