Fabulous Day Trip to Guatape with Boat Ride - We had a fabulous time on our private tour of Guatape including a boat ride. We were traveling with 3 adults and 3 young children (7, 6, and 5). Erika was an amazing tour guide who really customized the tour to our needs making sure the kids could keep up while giving the adults the background and history we wanted to hear about. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and history of Colombia. Guatape is a wonderful day trip from Medellin - highly recommend and ask for Erika, she has the patience of a saint having to deal with our kids for so many hours.

An amazing day - We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Ericka! She was right on time picking us up and made us feel welcomed from the start. Throughout the tour, she was incredibly knowledgeable about all the landmarks and shared interesting facts that made everything come to life. She was also very patient, allowing us plenty of time to explore and take photos. On top of all that, she was fun and full of energy, which made the day even more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide — highly recommend!

Amazing personalized experience! - Our family had the best time on this day trip with Erika!! It was such a fantastic day with our 3 kids, we were able to go at our own pace at all the stops. Erika was so knowledgeable of the area and patient with our kids, we really appreciated her car with boosters! Another highlight of the day was the fun boat ride and beautiful tour of the town. I feel this is a must do for the Medellin area. While the city is beautiful, this gives you an entirely different experience outside the city to see the natural beauty in Colombia. Would definitely recommend this company and Erika as your guide!

Guatape and Penol rock visit - The tour company Medellin Day Trips was very accommodating our needs Guatapé is a breathtaking destination that perfectly combines natural beauty, vibrant culture, and unique architecture. Located about two hours from Medellín, this colorful lakeside town is a must-visit for anyone traveling through Colombia. The Town: Guatapé’s charm lies in its brightly painted zócalos (decorative panels) that adorn every building. Each zócalo tells a story, reflecting the culture and traditions of the area. Walking through the streets feels like stepping into a living work of art. The highlight of the trip is undoubtedly El Peñol, a massive granite monolith offering panoramic views of the surrounding lakes and islands. Climbing its 708 steps is a challenge, but the reward at the top is spectacular. The view of the winding waterways and lush green landscapes is unforgettable. Exploring the reservoir by boat is another highlight. The tour takes you past luxury homes, including the ruins of Pablo Escobar’s mansion, and provides a different perspective of the area’s stunning scenery. Having a knowledgeable tour guide truly elevated the experience. Our guide Yuly was punctual, friendly, and incredibly informative. She shared the fascinating history of the area, pointed out hidden details in the zócalos, and offered insider tips for making the most of our visit. Their enthusiasm for the region was contagious, and they made the logistics seamless, from arranging transport to helping us navigate the best food spots. The local cuisine was delicious. Overall: Guatapé is a magical destination that offers a perfect day trip or overnight escape from Medellín. The combination of its natural beauty, vibrant culture, and unique attractions, paired with the guidance of a professional tour guide, ensures a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Colombia! And booking with Medellin day trips

Great way to see Guatupe in a day - Great day trip from Medellin. We were picked up from our building promptly and learned so much from our driver, Andres. We tasted a bunch of exotic fruits at the market and climbed to the top of La Piedra. Did a private boat ride to learn about the former residences of Pablo Escobar. Had a traditional lunch in the town and then walked the streets and visited a few shops before heading back to Medellin.

Family trip to Guatape - Our tour to El Penol and Guatape including a boat tour was outstanding! One of the best days of our trip to Colombia. Erika was so knowledgeable, accommodating, and patient. I wish every tour guide we had was like her. Her vast knowledge about Colombia was truly amazing. She thought about everything we would need from water bottles, hand sanitizer to rain gear. I'm so so glad we picked this company for our tour.
