Let’s GO!!!
Sebastian and Ale was great bilingual tour guides!! The meals were great for the price, no fish option. The boat and the bar behind the replica city has amazing views. We enjoyed being early to the to the rock and the city it made it feel more intimate! The food at the animal far was sooo original and we enjoyed the deserts there!!! 10/10 half the tour was from Florida too!! Enjoyed meeting new people!

Amazing!!!
Amazing tour!!! Luis, you were absolutely exceptional! We were so lucky to have you as our guide for two tours in Medellín, and you made both of them truly special. From the very first moment, your energy, knowledge, and kindness made us feel right at home. You went above and beyond to make every experience fun, safe, and unforgettable. Whether it was sharing the best local spots, telling fascinating stories, or just making us laugh the whole time, you were amazing in every way. Medellín felt even more magical because of you! Thank you for being such a wonderful guide and for making our trip so perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to show us your beautiful city. Highly recommend Luis to anyone visiting Medellín, you won’t find a better guide! Thank you again, Luis! You’re the best!

Best experience ever in Medellin
This is my second trip to Medellin and I visited many places. By far this is the best I done. Joanna, Alejandro and the rest of the crew were amazing. The hike was beautiful from the beginning to the end. Good facts are the time, the length of the activity and the driving distance from the meeting point to the hiking point.
Got to say you have to be in a very good physical condition to enjoy it.
150 stars !!!

Alejandro was a great...
Alejandro was a great guide, his personal experience isn't something you can get from any tour guide or any tv show. This was a learning experience and I'm very glad I went on this tour. See the house where he died, the museum, his grave, and the memorial to his victims.

Our guide Christian was...
Our guide Christian was very knowledgeable about the area and its history, as well as the transformation it has undergone.
The tour began with a cable car ride which was exciting and history of the area which was very informative. We then went to area 13. I told Christian it was like the Khan il Khalili in Cairo except with better music.
Throughout the tour Christian made sure we were safe and he was also considerate of the intensity of the walking part of the tour - especially for the two of us in our 70's.

Fun time Horseback riding with friends
We had such a great time! The experience as a whole was incredibly educational and so fun! Renee our driver was super friendly and Samuel our tour guide was super interactive with the group. The lunch we were given was delicious and so was the coffee! The horses were really tame too! Overall I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin!

Great for solo, very informative, very good value
I had a fantastic time on this tour. Julie was a really good host, very informative and easy going, and the people on the trip were also really friendly. I came solo and left having made some friends. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to get out of Medellin, and discover a pueblo where you learn about the culture of life outside of the big city and the history of how Guatapé came to be.

This was such a special...
This was such a special experience! After multiple coffee-oriented tours across the globe, this was the most in-depth and interactive we've been on by far. From the planting, to the harvesting, to the drying, to the roasting, to the packaging and all the little details in between - we left with a wealth of knowledge no other tour had ever provided us. It was so cool to actually participate in so many of these steps hands-on, and the coffee tasting of the different brewing methods was fascinating! Our guide Carlos was amazing and such an amazing addition to our day on the farm. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin!

Wonderful!
We had a small group tour with Yuli and it was fantastic! Exploring the Zócalos, and El Peñol and getting to climb la Piedra de El Peñol were all terrific, as was learning from Yuli about life, the food and local culture, but the real highlight was the coffee farm. Learning and taking part in the collection, sorting, grinding and ultimately drinking the amazing coffee was a real treat and Yuli was so kind, helpful and fun!

Food and adventure
Climbing the famous Guatapé Rock was unforgettable—challenging but incredibly rewarding. Every step tested my endurance, but the breathtaking views at the top made it all worth it. Having Mario along made the experience even better—his humor, energy, and encouragement kept the climb fun and uplifting. We also enjoyed delicious food tastings along the way, which added a flavorful twist to the adventure. An absolute must for anyone seeking a mix of challenge, culture, and stunning scenery.

At first, I was nervous, but once I arrived, the team made me feel so much better. They were joking around and making me laugh, which really helped ease my nerves. As they got me ready and set up all the equipment, they continued to check on me — even in the sky! Despite the language barrier, they were kind, thoughtful, and reassuring the entire time. Aside from the initial nerves, the experience was absolutely amazing. One I’ll never forget!

Great way to gain orientation around Medellin City Centre
A great morning spent going around the sites of Medellin City Centre. We had a small group and were led by JJ, who made the trip interesting and informative for us. He looked after us and navigated us through busy traffic and pedestrian areas. Would definitely recommend as a great way to initially gain orientation and insight in to Medellin.
