    Fantastic day out

    Fantastic day with Camilo. Picked me up and went to all the pre arranged sites and finished in guatape. He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with for the day. Had such good fun

    Never showed up.

    Guide texted 15 minutes prior to pick up to confirm we were ready. We were. 5 minutes prior to pickup we were told they needed to postpone by an hour and a half. Then they said they couldn’t make it. No stars.

    Response from the operator: The information provided by the customer regarding the change in schedule is correct; however, it is important to clarify that the customer was contacted directly by our supervisor at 7:57 a.m., before the scheduled tour time, via WhatsApp: “We wanted to let you know that a small issue has arisen with your guide, so we need to adjust the tour time to 9:30 a.m.” The situation was caused by a traffic incident that occurred approximately five minutes before the guide was due to arrive at the pickup location, affecting both the vehicle and the guide, who required medical attention. Fortunately, the incident was not serious. We immediately explored alternatives to operate the tour, including assigning another vehicle and another guide. However, due to the city's vehicle circulation restrictions (“Pico y Placa”), we were unable to provide another available vehicle in time. We also offered to operate the tour the following day, but the customer declined this option because they were scheduled to leave Medellín the next day. Once it became clear that we could not guarantee the tour under the expected conditions, at 8:17 a.m. we submitted a request through Viator for a 100% refund of the reservation. The customer was also informed that the refund request had been submitted. Therefore, we would like to emphasize that our company acted promptly in response to an unforeseen event, maintained communication with the customer, explored different alternatives to provide the service, and, when it was not possible to operate the tour, immediately submitted the request for a full refund, which is duly recorded in Viator’s system. We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused to the customer. We will also use this situation as an opportunity to strengthen our contingency procedures and establish additional backup options for vehicles and guides, allowing us to respond more effectively should a similar situation occur in the future.

    Glad we didn’t miss

    It was an amazing day for sure. Carillo kept us very comfortable in the car and spoke perfect English. He gave us tours as we drove and was very easy to get along with. We got to the guatape rock early and practically no lines. That was incredible in itself. Then on to the city of Guatape for delicious lunch with a restaurant he was familiar with. It was all excellent including the fish. We are Picky about fish being from Alaska but this trout was delicious. The private boat ride was the perfect end to the day. Cooled us off and very informative

    Best Tour Ive Booked

    It was a great day. Had Joshua as the guide, couldnt have asked for a better person to show us around. No rush, no fuss. Just smiles and a great time. Highlight was taking a boat tour around the lake. Thank you Camillo for adding Maria on to the trip last minute.

    Amazing Day Trip

    What a fantastic day trip to Guatapé! Joshua was a fantastic guide — calm, professional, and quick on his feet when a cycling race closed off our route, turning a detour into part of the adventure. Beautiful scenery, a great coffee tour, and an experience I won’t forget!

    Full-Day Guatape: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.

    How much does Full-Day Guatape cost?

    +

    Prices start at $165 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 Full-Day Guatape take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day Guatape worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 394 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 Full-Day Guatape?

    +

    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 Full-Day Guatape suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Guatape?

    +

    Around 138 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Guatape 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 Full-Day Guatape?

    +

    Included: NOTE: DO NOT BRING ANY VALUABLES; Private tour; Driver / guide; Rock entrance; and Zocalos visit. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full-Day Guatape include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 562 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Full-Day Guatape offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full-Day Guatape?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Full-Day Guatape wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Full-Day Guatape if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Medellín. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
