My 3 friends & I were faced with a situation that I imagine happens to a lot of tourists in a foreign city .... we had to check out of our Airbnb in the morning, but our flight was at night and we had no where to put our bags. To complicate matters more, there were a few key activities in Medellin that we weren't able to get to.
Reached out to Guanabana and they made it happen! We got picked up from our Airbnb in an SUV with an English-speaking guide (way way better English than you often find in those "free walking tours"). He drove us to Communa 13 where he arranged for a local to show us around and give us a more authentic experience. The Communa 13 guide even took us to her mother's house!! (to put things in perspective, we had signed up for a free walking tour of Communa 13 the previous day and left halfway through because our huge group of 30+ was extremely akwards wherever we would go...with Guanabana, we were only 4 + 1 guide!)
Afterwards, we were taken by our Guanabana guide to a delicious restaurant frequented only by locals. One of the best, and cheapest meals we had in Medellin (especially when compared to restaurants in Poblado). From there, we were able to squeeze in a quick trip to the Botanical Gardens.
On the way to the airport, our guide took us to an amazing viewing point of Medellin from the top of the mountain. Something you would never see if you were just taking a taxi or shuttle to the airport.
All in all, great experience with Guanabana. You really get what you pay for in a white glove service, English-speaking, thorough group of people that know exactly what they are doing. Would recommend to future visitors to Medellin for sure.

Hello and thank you for your review. We are very happy to hear you enjoyed your last day in Medellín and we are very happy we could help your party out with your Airbnb situation because as you say, it happens quite a lot. It is in our standard operating procedure when this is the case to pick our clients up for tour in the morning and put all their belongings in our SUVs, do our fun activities during the day, and then drop them off directly at the airport. With Guanabana Tours you can count on our support and flexibility, we specialise in personalised customer service, we only do small private groups, and we are the best at making things happen for our clients. Thank you for pointing out that our English speaking team members have a higher than average English proficiency, we know how valuable this is for our clients when they find themselves in a country with very few English speaking people (but it's getting better). Our Comuna 13 guide was born and raised in the 13, seen a lot and has been first-hand witness to the amazing transformation the neighborhood has gone through and she is very passionate about street art too. Thank you for recommending us and we look forward to your next visit to do more fun stuff in Colombia.

I would definitely recommend Guanabana Tours to my family and friends. I recommend them 100%. I have used them 3 times already and they are always very professional, serious and punctual. I have nothing but good things to say about this company and I am in fact, pleasantly surprised by their great service. When in Colombia I wouldn’t use anyone else. We booked an excursion and unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and my group and I were not able to complete the excursion. They were very patient and even though we did some part of the tour they refunded all of us 100% without any hassles. If you are looking for professional and excellent service Guanabana Tours it is. You will not be disappointed.

Hello and thank you for your review. The Forgotten Road bike tour is a fascinating ride down a magical mountain road that drops over 2,000 mts, but sometimes mother nature decides a good downpour is called for, so the tour must be stopped. It was a lot of fun even when the whole group got soaking wet and ended up finding shelter in a horse stable with some very friendly local campesinos and some very wet, surprised, and happy dogs. Thank you for choosing us again for the third time and thank you for pointing out that we are always professional, serious, and punctual. That's the name of our game. We hope to have you with us again for the fourth time and that you get to experience The Forgotten Road in full, it will be guaranteed to be the highlight of your next visit to Colombia. Regards from the Team.

this was an amazing experience! It’s really felt very personal. From the time we were picked up the driver was amazing. It was convenient that he spoke English! He was willing to provide a lot of information about the city and things to do and also the cities history and its people during the long ride in. Once we arrived at the facilities for the excursion the staff was very attentive as well. I would definitely recommend this company and the ATV tour through the jungle. We did the two hours but I will definitely up for the three hour Tour next time.

On our trip to Medellin my buddy and I researched adventure tours and we found Guanabana tours with their great reviews so we signed up for 2 days of activities. The zipline was much higher and longer than I ever expected, the via ferrata rock climbing up the side of the Ox's Jump waterfall was phenomenal, canyoneering was physical ans challenging in the jungle, and my favorite was paragliding, flying like birds over waterfalls. All team members spoke English and besides being funny and entertaining, were above all total professionals. This company is always on time and over delivers, definitely recommended 100%!

We had a great experience with Guanabana tours. We trusted these guys with our entire trip- Guatape, ATV, paragliding, and rafting. We loved each experience and enjoyed the food/company throughout the trip. Rafting and ATV were my favorites but all of the above are worth doing. Highly recommend using this tour company- they are timely, friendly, and give good advice for local things to do in Colombia.

Awesome trip for first time rafters. This is the company to go with. When booking the trip, they were responsive by text and email and answered our questions promptly. On the day of the trip, our driver Juan Diego picked us up on time. The two hour drive to the river was fun as Juan Diego told us fun and fascinating stories about Colombian history and growing up in Medellin. The ride down the river was fun, exciting, and alternately thrilling and chill. Our raft guide Steven was a good leader and made us feel safe throughout, even as the class iii rapids were roaring. The midway snack of pineapple and cake was refreshing and restorative. We definitely would go back and do this again and would always look at Guanabana for future adventures in Colombia!

Amazing Guajira desert tour! We signed up for this tour and it was as promised, an unforgettable adventure. The Guajira desert region of Colombia is n the northernmost tip, a very remote, barren, and underdeveloped outback country. It doesn't have paved roads, we were driven in 4x4 SUV'S most of the way, and the their was a boat ride at the end to reach Punta Gallinas, the northernmost tip of South America. The wayuu indigenous hostels we stayed were amazingly organised, with running water 24 hours a day and electricity from 4 pm to 10 pm. The sunsets and night skies were beautiful. Guanabana Tours took care of everything with the greatest attention and efficacy from the moment we sent our first email months ago. Their team member in charge spoke excellent English, was very friendly, and always made sure everything ran along smoothly. I can't recommend this tour and this company enough, it was a great experience.

The driver and guide arrived on time and took us to the airport where we transferred to a helicopter. The process was smooth, pleasant and swift. The trip to Guatape took about 20 minutes and gave amazing views of Medellin and in Guatape of El Penol. I would highly recommend this as a spectacular and special way to see Guatape and I would definitely recommend Guanabana Tours as the preferred company to book through for this amazing experience!

We had the best time in Colombia with Guanabana Tours! Their reviews don't say half of it, they are the most organized and punctual your operator I have ever encountered. We did multiple tours with them and each one was better than the last. The communication is fast and clear in perfect English, the drivers and guides super professional and friendly. It you're visiting Colombia and are into outdoors fun, this is the company you want. I will definitely be signing up for more of their tours during future visits. P.S., order the chorizo!

I’m a amateur atv rider looking for an advanced trail. Is this the right place?
Written April 15, 2018
Hello. Yes this is the right place, our three hour tour is a bit demanding in its second half with narrow trails through the forests and up and down steep terrain, but at the same time doable for amateur riders with the tutelage of our guides.
