WOW! Could not be happier with our visit to Medellin/Antioquia!

Every moment with Andres was exceptionally well spent – fruit tasting, pan de queso, Fenix de Americas, old El Penol, El Penon de Guatape, bandeja paisa, walking through Guatape, exceptionally scenic drives, Colombia’s finest roadside dessert – and that was just day 1! Day 2 was a Medellin city tour inclusive of Botero Square, Comuna 13, escalators and cable cars – I took more photos on day 2 than every other day of my trip combined (and it was only a half day in the city)! Andres is personable, knowledgeable, an excellent driver and fantastically likable – you really can’t go wrong with this company; their commitment to the quality and integrity of the guest adventure is second to none. I would gladly hire Medellin Day Trips again on a future visit – sheer delight and a care-free experience!

I can definitely recommend the Guatape rock tour with Andres. He is a great guide, very helpful, informative, punctual and fun to talk to. What I really enjoyed was the fact that we could have a conversation about many different topics related to Colombia in general, not only related to the particular tour. He shared his recommendations not only about other main points of interest, but also places, which are lesser known, but worth the while!
Thanks a bunch, Andres, from the whole Bulgarian crew! Nos vemos ?

I had a pleasure of doing a private tour to Guatape with this tour operator. The booking process and consequent email communication were top notch. My guide, Andres, was phenomenal – he speaks perfect English, and is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his knowledge. He is truly one of the most gifted guides that I’ve come across, and really does a great job of making the tour both educational and entertaining. My only regret is not doing a city tour with Andres on my first day here, as I think it would’ve really helped me get better oriented and get more out of my time in Medellin.

Upon first time visiting Medellin we really wanted to do a day trip to Guatape since we have heard that it’s a must see. We never expected this to be one of the best day trips in my entire life, and this would have never been achieved without our charismatic guide Andres! He has been very informative throughout the journey telling us a lot about Colombia and the Medellin area while also suggesting what else we could do in the country throughout our stay. As it suggests on website we have stopped first to try some exotic fruits and ended up buying mangostino and murapo. The lady selling the fruits was very nice providing us with several types of fruits and her baby was so cute that we spent a lot of time playing with him! Second stop was the Replica Town where we visited a church and some souvenir shops and heard Guatape’s and El Penol’s history. Third stop was the impressive rock of Guatape which has 740 steps and which provided us with outstanding views! Last step was the city of Guatape where we had a tasty lunch colombian style and we heard the story of the city. Probably the best small town i have ever seen. Very colourful, full of welcoming people and great weather? What else can you want? 5 stars for my dear Andres and looking forward to book more with him in the future! ?

Andres showed us a fantastic time doing the beautiful countryside of Columbia! He is funny, knowledgeable, and loves talking about Colombia and sharing stories. It is a young, great company — definitely support them as you plan your trip in Colombia. We did the rock climb which was amazing, but I’m sure all the other tours are as well. Definitely a must-do if you are in Medellin!!!

A friend of mine recommended Andres and I am so grateful for the recommendation!!! I loved taking a day trip to Guatape with Andres, he is knowledgeable, friendly and very relaxed. Being able to explore a new city with a local is always the best and Andres makes sure you see much more than you could find on your own. He gave lots of recommendations and was helpful with other trips and activities. So convenient that he speaks English and can help you understand the culture. Thanks for a great trip and I will definitely pass your name along to anyone coming to Medellin!

Great day visiting some sights outside Medellin. The rock El Penol and the pueblo of Guatape were highlights of our time in Colombia. Andres is a fantastic guide – professional, friendly and very patient. His English is fantastic. We learned more about Colombia and, in particular, Antioquia, that we would have ever learned on our own. I cannot say enough good things. Definitely contact these guys if you are in Medellin.

Had such a wonderful experience with Marta and Andres exploring the outskirts of Medellin by horseback, climbing the giant random rock near Guatapè and walking through the colourful streets of Guatapè. Andres also took us for a traditional Colombian meal followed by a delicious dessert from the side of the road!
We thoroughly enjoyed our day and highly recommend Medellin Day Trips

I took the Guatape Rock/Coffee Plantation tour and it was one of the absolute best tours I have ever been on. It was truly an unforgettable experience that made my Colombia trip. Andres was extremely knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and made the tour very fun and comfortable. This tour allowed me to experience a very unique side of Colombia that you wouldn’t be able to on your own. This is a unique experience that is worth every penny! I am recommending MedellinDayTrips to all my friends and I will tour with them again when I return to Colombia! Thank you MedellinDayTrips for a wonderful tour!!!

When I talked to Andres to arrange the date for the trip, to the Guatape Rock, he said that we are going to have a blast. I really thought that he was being nice to say that, but actually he was right, we had the best private tour ever! Andres has a great personality and made us feel like we have been friends for a long time and in my opinion this is so important. We didn’t even know when the time passed.
He took us also to a coffee shop, were we had the best coffee ever!
The tour is very well thought and we got to see and to do so many things in just 8 hours. I definitely recommend him and his tours and everything was at a very corect price!
Thank you so much for the great time and we will keep in touch!

Great!! So you are thinking about visiting the rock of Guatapé and its beautiful town.
We can take you there and tell you the amazing history of the rock, plus stories about the flooded town under Lake Guatapé, as well as the tradition of Zocalos in Guatape.
However, in our Guatape Tour we would like to go beyond and provide you a more complete experience, something truly memorable.
This is why our Guatape Tour has 3 optional activities, all of them unique, so you can combine them and take the most out of this day trip.
Naturally we also have the option of just the Guatape tour.
Our options are:
Just Guatape Tour Description:
The following tour description applies to all the Guatape Tour optional activities:
First Stop: Exotic Fruit Tasting
Medellin Day Trips has always been characterized by offering more complete tours with fair prices and our Guatape Tour is not the exception.
Therefore, to make your experience more enjoyable our first stop is a fruit tasting.
In this brief but substantial stop we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn't even know exist, with intense sour or sweet flavors.
Have you tried Pitaya, Granadilla, Tree Tomato or Lulo? Wait no more and give them a chance!!!
Second Stop: Climbing Up The Guatape Rock
After eating delicious exotic fruits, we go towards the Guatape Rock known in Spanish known as Piedra del Peñol.
At this massive rock you get the chance to climb it. It has 749 steps and it takes 40 minutes approximately to go up and down.
Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen.
This is not only our opinion but that of hundreds of tourists we have taken there.
However, our Guatape Tour still has more to offer.
Third Stop: Guatape Town: City of Zocalos
Our next destination is Guatape, one of the most colorful and picturesque towns in Colombia.
How did this Zocalo tradition start and why? Take this tour and find out!!
At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town’s landmarks: church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more.
Once the walking tour has concluded we take you to the best restaurant in town to have a traditional delicious lunch (not included in the tour) where you have more than 20 different options to try the local cuisine accompanied by a cold sangria or a craft beer.
After we finish the lunch we start our journey back to Medellin, with a smile in your face and full of good memories and photos.
All in all, you should not miss out this Guatape tour, it allows you to enjoy the beauty of this region in a different and fun way.
