          Tour to remember!
          This is a tour to remember! We had a wonderful time these past two days. The children especially enjoyed the hands on experience at the coffee and cocao farm. Sara, our tour guide, is very informative and very engaging. She made sure we’re comfortable and having fun. We learned so much about the process of coffee and chocolate. We highly recommend this tour.

          Incredible, well worth the money for the experience
          Erika was an incredible tour guide, she is very knowledgeable and explains everything very well, drives good, and asks if you want to stop for photos or try an activity along the way to guatape. For anyone on the fence I absolutely recommend this trip, you wont forget it. A note for anyone like me, she explained everything twice in Spanish and English so that both of us could understand 100% :^)

          Fun in Medellin...
          First of all, thank you very much for an amazing experience. We had a wonderful time! Our guide Sara was very knowledgeable very friendly and took the time to familiarize us with not only Guatape, but Medellin and all that the destination had to offer. I would highly recommend this tour Because it was a private tour, which allowed us to move it our own pace and enjoy the tour I believe even more. I am a travel industry professional, and I have traveled around the world. I found this destination to be one of the most beautiful lush, exciting and full of adventure. I would recommend Sara as your guide if you take this tour. Thank you to Andres. I look forward to another opportunity when I return to Medellin.

          Immersive experience
          Laura was a fantastic guide and made the experience really special for us. She is also the safest driver we've had in Colombia which was important for such a long journey. The farmer, Wilson, was a generous host and made us feel welcome. This private tour was a memorable and informative experience for our visit to Colombia.

          Best horseback riding experience!
          One of the best horseback riding experiences we’ve ever had! Communicating with Andres was seamless—he showed up on time and picked us up from our Airbnb. He’s a very friendly and knowledgeable man. The horseback riding itself was incredible. We got to enjoy the fresh air and take in beautiful mountain views, and we even had the chance to gallop—something other horseback riding guides have never allowed me to do before. On our way back to our stay, two of us realized we had forgotten our belongings at one of the rest stops. Despite it being Christmas Eve and having plans with his family, Andres kindly drove us back to retrieve our things. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun and memorable adventure!

          Fantastic coffee and colourful town
          Erika was our guide and was fantastic! Wilson at the coffee farm taught us everything about coffee growing backset by stunning views. Jardin is also a gorgeous town with lots of little things to do. Erika took care of everything for us which made the trip extra special.

          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

          Exhilarating!!!
          I went along with my friends for a day trip outside of Medellin. This was a perfect day trip we could have asked for as it covered all expects of the vacation. We experienced the countryside,culture, cuisines and colors and in the picturesque town. We also hiked the Guatape rock and the views were amazing at the top! On the tour I got introduced to many eccentric tropical fruits which I had never tasted before. Totally in awe of the experience and would highly recommend it! Andres was our tour guide and he was simply amazing.He walked us through the town and ensured we covered all the prominent spots a tourist would want to cover! He was friendly and witty. It was easy to learn a lot because of him.

          Wonderful experience!
          We had a wonderful time on the coffee tour! Laura, our guide, was so much fun! We learned a lot about the intricate process of growing coffee. Our boys 13 and 11 really enjoyed the experience too! We also enjoyed the beautiful scenery on the farm.. so many plants and flowers!

          Colorful and Beautiful Communa 13!
          It was a great Communa 13 tour, we started early and we were happy that we did, Laura is our guide today and she is very knowledgeable to the area, we definitely learned a lot of information from her. Laura is also kind to wait for us when my husband need to rest a bit, we really appreciate it. We also did the food tasting and the Gondola ride! Overall it was a great experienced! Highly recommend.

          Beautiful day at the Coffee Farm
          Just a short drive from downtown is another world on this beautiful coffee farm. Laura, our guide was so fun, energetic, and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about the coffee process and even got to dress up and pick coffee beans ourselves. Not to mention an amazingly delicious snack Cooked by the family that owns this beautiful farm. Not to be missed.

        What wasn’t my favorite?!?! This was an AMAZING experience! My wife and I could not express how awesome it was! Daniel was our tour guide, my wife doesn’t speak Spanish, Daniel accommodated us by speaking English (basically perfect). We were picked up from our hotel, and driven to our first activity which was paragliding. The crew is great, all professionals and the views are amazing!! It’s so beautiful and thrilling. After we landed we made our way to Guatapé, to walk up the rock called el Peñol, another beautiful, enriching, amazing experience. Funny story as my wife and where there, the other side of my family tree just happened to be there as well. Good times! Daniel waited for us as we took our time going up and coming down. Afterwards, we were taken to Guatapé town. Daniel gave us a nice history lesson on the area and the Zocalos, we also ate at a nice vegan restaurant in Guatapé (forgot the name:( ).We even ran into another satisfied customer that had gone on the same tour years ago, he loved it so much he came back! Finally, after all of that we were driven back to the front door of the hotel. It was a great experience. We highly recommend Daniel at Medellin Day Trips He’s top quality,we highly recommend Medellin Day Trips. The next time we come back to Medellin, we will be using Medellin Day Trips. Do yourself a favor and use them. We loved it, we’re sure you will too!
        Also, for you Americans/Europeans Tip your tour guide!!

        Our paragliding experience for the bachelor party was nothing short of phenomenal. Daniel, our guide, was the perfect match for our rowdy group of three. He effortlessly handled our enthusiasm and ensured we had an incredible time. Daniel’s skills as a host and guide were top-notch, making us feel safe and secure throughout the entire adventure. His attention to detail and commitment to our enjoyment were truly commendable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this paragliding experience to all my friends and family; it’s an absolute must-do!

        A group of 8 of us went on this tour on January 30th, 2023. I would like to thank Andres Arango for arranging this for us. From initial tour enquiry to execution, the experience with MedellinDayTrips was top class! We could not have asked for anything better. One of the best tour operators we have dealt with in recent times. A couple of my friends who have done paragliding in Switzerland felt the experience here was much better. Our tour guide Alejandro Duque was amazing! He had an excellent command of the English language, his knowledge of the places we visited, the Colombian culture and its history is mind blowing! We learnt a lot about Colombia from him during the trip. During the booking I was told that the tour will take ~9 hours. With the many exciting things we did in Guatape and the surrounding areas, the trip took a total of 11 hours. Alejandro was so accommodating and never rushed us at the venues we visited.

        This is the best tour operator in Medellin, Colombia and I would highly recommend anyone visiting Medellin to get in touch with them.

        This is a must do adventure! We had such a blast with our guide, Andrés! It was incredible paragliding and seeing the most beautiful views, definitely an adventure we'll never forget and can't wait to do again! The pilots are very well trained and safe. Driving over to Guatape was also an exciting part of the trip - beautiful scenery and learning cool facts and history from Andrés made the experience so much richer. When we finally got to Guatape, it was unlike anything we've ever seen before. Climbing Peñon was an excellent addition to the experience. Whether you're eating local fruits, exploring a local town, learning history, trying delicious foods, or anything else, the entire experience is AMAZING and we highly, highly recommend. It is safe, fun, and trustworthy. To make the best of your trip, don't hesitate booking this!

        2 friends visiting MDE for first time, we went on a Guatape private tour on a Sunday.

        Amazing day with MedellinDayTrips.. Incredible experience that I recommend. Andres - the manager - communicated with me the day prior with all of the agenda, the expectations, and more info... which I was very happy about.

        Our tour guide (and new friend!) Yuly was the best thing of the trip. Very accommodating, she drove us to the different sites and although it was too cloudy and chilly to go Paragliding, she called them and asked about the conditions many times for us through the day. Yuly has great English and explains all of the interesting things. We went to a delicious and fun lunch place and then she showed us all around. Time flies so we had to head back to MDE but it was a good day in the Guatape area.

        My husband and I booked the full day private tour to Guatape that included paragliding. The itinerary on the website is completely accurate in what to expect. The paragliding was so much fun and the views from the rock in Guatape were amazing! Our tour guide Alejo was absolutely wonderful and added so much value to our day. He did a great job of explaining the history and culture of the area, stopped at what ended up being the best food stand we had in Colombia, and we really felt that we could go at our own pace when climbing the rock, and spending the afternoon in the town of Guatape. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Absolutely recommend using Medellin Day Trips.

        This was an amazing tour. They made plans to make sure they got us there before the crowds at the rock and in the town of guatape so we weren’t waiting in lines anywhere. Our guide, Sara, took us to a ton of great shops in guatape and got some good pictures of us paragliding too. She was so fun to talk to on our drive to all of the locations. Paragliding was amazing too - they did a great job of flying us safely and showing us beautiful views but with lots of moments of adrenaline.

        I had a blast Paragliding and visiting the gorgeous cities! We were picked up by our fantastic tour guide Daniel, right at the front door of our hotel. The drive to our destination was stunning, and Daniel filled us in on the history and culture every step of the way. We went paragliding over Cocorna, one of the most breathtaking places. The pilots were extremely professional! Afterward, we visited Guatapé and hiked the famous rock Piedra el Peñol. It was 700 steps of intense incline, so closed-toed shoes are a must! Ensure you have pesos for any food or souvenirs you may want to purchase. Also, bring baby wipes with you just in case there isn't any toiletry paper at the top. We spent the rest of the day learning about the history of Guatapé and tasting the delicious cuisine. Bring a backpack with snacks, water, and other items you may want to take with you. Daniel goes the extra mile by taking photos for you and ensures you receive them all by the end of your trip. He’s the person you want to take with you on a day trip and to request by name! My guy deserves a raise! We cannot wait to return and see the rest of Colombia 🇨🇴

        This is THE tour. You will have an amazing day, at your own pace. The paragliding staff are extremely professional and experienced and the location of the activity is beautiful. As for our guide Laura, she is hands down the best guide that we've ever encountered. The tour is supposed to last 9 to 10 hours, but because of the weather that day, it took us 12. At no time did we feel rushed or hushered along. She is so charming and has a great energy. She is very informative, patient, extremely helpful and resourceful. Booking this tour is easy, Andres is very communicative if you have any questions.
