    You get a lot for the price

    You get your moneys worth. Full day trip, large bus with ac and bilingual guide. They pick you up at near your hotel usually at the front door or a block away depending on bus access. First stop includes a light breakfast with coffee or hot chocolate, bathrooms, souvenir shop. Then you visit small town of Guatapé, umbrella street and can get some maracuya (passion fruit) affogato it’s delicious, great spot for pictures. Then you stop at the big rock, climb the 700 plus steps for a beautiful view, and you must walk stairs back down, takes about 35 mins. There are plenty of shops if climbing is not your thing. Next stop is a replica town, great for pictures. Walk downhill to get on a boat and see famous houses, enjoy modern music, drinks and bathroom available on boat, about 40 mins ride. From there you get on the bus for a late lunch (included) however you can upgrade your meal for a fee, they offer chicken, beef, pork or vegetarian option. Then you stop by another view point with a full petting zoo, snacks, shops, restrooms available. From there you get dropped off at your pick up stop. So you get a lot for the price. Downside for some maybe that you are on this trip for 12 plus hours, the bus is very large and it is full, we did trip on a Tuesday and there where 5 full buses from the same company. The quality of meals is ok, but it is included. Bring layers as the weather can change rapidly, cold in bus, hot outside, and rain showers. Keep in mind the guide may speak other languages than the native language here as a second language, so give them grace as they are communicating with you the best they can.

    Great day to Gautape

    Great day trip to Gautape and Del Penola. Luis the guide and William the driver were both warm and professional. It’s a long day but well worth it!

    Full Day Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 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 Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch 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 Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch?

    +

    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 Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch 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 Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch?

    +

    Around 1 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 Tour to Guatape with Pickup Breakfast and Lunch 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.
