“Cesar was an amazing guide for our family of four. The depth of his knowledge and his storytelling ability kept us all engaged and interested through the entire day. He was super accommodating to our schedule changes (meaning our kids wanted to shop in lots of the art galleries in Comuna 13), as well as switching to English when I couldn't keep up with translating his Spanish (my wife and kids are fluent Spanish speakers...I'm learning). Overall we were really happy to have booked the private tour and think that we got great value.”

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…”
