A must do tour in the town
This walking tour is excellent. Spoken in amazing English and really helped me understand the past and possible future of the town. Great mix of topics I couldn’t recommend this tour higher. If you are in town this is a must!

A must take tour.
Great tour! When you go on a tour with one of these women, you will have a great experience and see their passion for Guatape. The title says free walking tour however I do recommend a nice "propino" because they deserve it. We had Beatriz and she was excellent.

Excellent informative free tour
Our tour was really interesting and gave us so much more insight into the town and how it has developed over time. The history behind the zocoros was explained clearly and in excellent English. It was also fascinating to hear how the development of the hydro electric dam has totally changed the face of the area, and the lives of the inhabitants. I would totally recommend this tour 😊

Interesting tour, giving an insight to how the town has changed over the last 50 years
Very interesting and authentic tour of Guatape, learnt a lot about the zocalos and local life and customs, from a guide whose family had lived in the area for generations. Would definitely recommend staying at least one night in Guatape, a beautiful town with lots to offer in terms of things to do and see and lovely restaurants

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How does 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé compare to similar tours in Medellín?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Medellín, with an Outty Ranking of 70. At $16 it costs less than the typical similar option ($24), so it is strong value. Best for families and travelers short on time.
Who is 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé best for?
+
It suits families and travelers short on time best, based on its 1.5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé good value?
+
Yes. It starts at $16, below the $24 typical for similar experiences in Medellín.
How much does 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé cost?
+
Prices start at $16 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.
Is 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medellín?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medellín?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé?
+
Included: Souvenir. Not included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 90 Minute Walking Tour of Guatapé?
