Because it’s a group tour, you do get to meet people from all over the world. The food was great and they have option for everyone. As a Jamaica, this Peñol rock was a bucket list and it was great. Very crowdy as it was holiday time.”

“We booked the Guatapé rock climb, city tour, and coffee farm option. Our tour guide Julio was so down to earth and felt like a friend showing us his home. The views from the top of the rock were amazing! The town of Guatapé is beautiful and there are so many stunning photo opportunities! Julio shared neat history tidbits about the everywhere we went.

“This was a really solid tour. It was a great way to easily see all the attractions in Guatape without a lot of hassle. Everything was really well organized and it ran on time. I would say our guide was more of a chaperone than a guide as we didn't get a ton of information about the culture, geography and history we were driving through but you can't beat this tour for what you get.”

“More time on the bus in traffic than sightseeing. Everything about the tour was chaotic. Our confirmation said a start time of 8:30am. We were waiting in the lobby of our hotel at 7:30 on, and the bus came to get us at 7:45. No one came in to get us. Eventually a car came and got us , along with others , and we met up with the bus. The breakfast was less than fair, but edible. It took forever for the servers to figure out who ordered what. At the Rock, we did not have near enough time. It was extremely crowded going up the stairs. We were…”

“We had the best time on this tour! Highly recommend taking the private tour over the larger ones, as you get to see additional little stops and don’t have to contend with crowds.
