    Amazing Tour, Must See, and Great Tour Guide!

    This was a great experience, and the highlight of our trip to Colombia. Guatape is an amazing place. Our tour guide, Felipe, was very good. He is very knowledgeable, witty and super fun. Felipe did a great job explaining everything in detail, including history, context and fun stories. We did not feel rushed at all and were able to explore all areas. We added the 1-hr boat ride - worth it to see the beautiful area from the water. The tour is comprehensive, includes visits to a couple of towns and the Guatape rock. Highly Recommend!

    Response from the operator: Hi Norah. We are extremely happy to read that you had a lot of fun, and you have a good experience with your tour guide. We really hope to see you again and we send you a big and friendly hug. Good luck for your and your family

    Amazing experience

    Felipe was an amazing guide - super knowledgeable and so nice. We enjoyed the private tour because we were able to do everything at our own pace. Loved what was planned on the tour; the stops along the way were awesome.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your beautiful words. We are very happy for reading it. We hope to see you again and give to you the best experience ever. We send you a big friendly hug and the best wishes

    Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $155 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 Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 50 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 Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour?

    +

    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 Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour?

    +

    Around 18 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour 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 Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Tea and coffee; On-board WiFi; Lunch; and bote compartido. Not included: entrada a la piedra. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 746 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour 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 Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour?

    +

    Is Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Guatapé and the rock Full Day Private Tour if the weather is bad?
