Why Fabian made our trip unforgettable - Unforgettable Experience with the Best Tour Guide – Fabian! We booked Fabian through Ecoventure on GetYourGuide, and from the moment he reached out to us before the tour even began, we knew we were in good hands. He told us his goal was to be our best friend for the day—and he truly lived up to that and so much more. Fabian is far more than just a tour guide. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about Colombia—its history, culture, people, and even the lesser-known facts about the places we passed on the road. The ride from one destination to another was never boring because he constantly shared interesting information and stories along the way. But that’s just the beginning. Fabian is also a talented magician, and he showed us some of his magic tricks during the ride, which added a fun, lighthearted touch to the whole experience. On top of that, he’s a rapper, and learning about his artistic side just made us appreciate him even more. He’s full of surprises and energy—and makes you feel like you’re hanging out with an old friend rather than just taking a tour. Our first activity with Fabian was paragliding, and thanks to his strong relationships with the locals there, everything went incredibly smoothly. He made sure we got exactly what we wanted—my wife requested a gentle flight, while I asked for something more adrenaline-filled. The pilots customized the experience perfectly, and I even got to soar into the clouds—an unforgettable thrill. We were so impressed with Fabian that we canceled another tour we had booked with a different company the next day (knowing we wouldn’t get a refund)—just so we could spend another day with him. That’s how good he is. We booked again with Ecoventure through GetYourGuide, and it was one of the best decisions we made during our entire trip. Day two was ambitious: we visited Comuna 13 and went white water rafting—a packed itinerary, but Fabian made sure we could do both without ever feeling rushed. In Comuna 13, he didn’t just show us the typical tourist spots—he brought us into the hidden “eskinitas” (little corners) where you truly see how the locals live. That’s exactly the kind of travel experience we look for: authentic, raw, and real. And everywhere we went, people knew Fabian. In Comuna 13, the parking attendant asked him to call his mom because it was her birthday (May 25). We even got to say happy birthday to her over the phone—a sweet and totally unexpected moment. On the drive to the rafting site, Fabian asked if he could video call his daughter. He hadn’t seen her that day and said he never lets a day go by without saying good morning and good night to her (whenever he’s working). That moment really touched us—it showed the kind of man he is: warm, caring, and family-first. We even got to meet his daughter briefly through the call, which we truly appreciated. During the pandemic, Fabian started his own lingerie business to support his daughter—a true testament to his dedication and entrepreneurial spirit. The fact that he’s not only a guide, but also a magician, rapper, and small business owner, all while being an amazing father, just blew us away. At one point on the highway, he pulled over to let us try a local favorite—strawberries and cream from a roadside stand (the famous red tents). He insisted on treating us, and it was such a thoughtful surprise that made the day even more special. When we arrived for rafting, he helped us order food (he's fluent in English and Spanish), and then—he paddled with us for three hours! Having him on the raft with us elevated the experience. His energy and enthusiasm matched ours, and we felt like we were sharing an adventure with a close friend. Fabian is incomparable to other tour guides—it’s like comparing apples to oranges. No one else brings the same heart, energy, knowledge, and personal touch to the experience. With Fabian, it’s not just a tour; it’s a meaningful, one-of-a-kind journey. Everything about our time with Fabian felt personal, real, and from the heart. He took care of us every step of the way, and his passion for his country, his community, and his guests is something you don’t find often. If you’re visiting Colombia and want a truly authentic, unforgettable experience, book Fabian through Ecoventure on GetYourGuide. He’s not just a tour guide—he’s a storyteller, an entertainer, a father, a friend, and someone who will make your journey through Colombia more meaningful than you ever expected. We left with memories we’ll carry for life—and a friend we hope to see again. We hope to see you one day on a Las Vegas stage doing your magic show.
¡Nos vemos pronto aquí en Las Vegas, mi amigo!

Picturesque paraglide and more! - I experienced one of the most amazing and scenic paraglides in my life! The pilot took me up and down the mountain range and also made a few passes of the incredible waterfalls. Fabian “the magician “ was also my driver and tour guide and bonus for giving me an inside look of all the scenery and cute towns we passed along the way. 5 Stars! I highly recommend this adventure!

Awesome experience ! Wonderful Tour guide !! - OMG what an amazing day we just had from beginning to end : it surpassed my expectations . Paragliding above the giant waterfalls was breathtaking . My instructor made me feel really safe and the ride was smooth and enjoyable . We had opted to do also the Guatapé and Peñol tour and did not regret : the view from the top of the Peñol is magnificent and totally worth walking up the 700 stairs . And the town of Guatapé is simply a little gem with an explosion of beautiful colors . But what really made this experience superb was having Fabian as our tour guide . Knowledgeable , friendly , kind ! Going above and beyond what was part of the tour to make us happy , teach us about a country that he loves and make sure that we had a pleasant and instructive time !!! Really Fabian , my husband and I cannot thank you enough for a day full of feel good vibes that we will for sure always remember .

An Amazing Day with Fabian – Highly Recommend! - This experience was amazing! My boyfriend and I were visiting for his 50th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special. Our guide, Fabian, was absolutely fantastic, super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the city, and he spoke excellent English. He contacted us the night before to introduce himself and share important details about our pickup. Fabian was also very accommodating when we had to cut our trip short due to a last-minute afternoon appointment. He thoughtfully tailored the itinerary so we could still enjoy the full excursion without missing a thing. The paragliding experience was a thrill, handled by true professionals who made us feel safe and comfortable. Afterward, we headed to Guatapé (about an hour's drive) and climbed the famous rock to take in the breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding landscape. If you're looking to combine adventure with a rich cultural experience, this is the perfect tour. And definitely request Fabian—you won’t regret it!

Best paragliding experience ever!! - The trip was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Fabian was probably the nicest and coolest tour guide I’ve ever met and I’ve been traveling the world since I was 19. He never rushed us. He always taught us different stories in history about the places we were driving by. He made sure everything went very smooth. Thank you Fabian!!

Great tour - Very fun experience! The paragliding felt very safe with an easy landing and take off and the pilots made us feel at ease. The town and walk to the top of the rock were also great, a very cute town. The tour guide made everything easy from transportation to letting us walk around, shop and do whatever we wanted in the town while also giving us some background info.

Amazing experience!!! - We had an incredible experience with FABIAN! From start to finish, he was informative, kind, and incredibly friendly. He made us feel comfortable and well-prepared for our paragliding adventure, ensuring we understood everything while keeping the excitement alive. His knowledge of the city was impressive, and during our walking tour of Guatape, he shared fascinating insights that brought the history and culture to life. He also made sure we tried some of the most tastiest snacks along the way. His warm and welcoming personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide in Colombia! GRACIAS FABIAN, truly a jack of all trades! 😊🇨🇴
