    Tours without quality

    I suppose the company has good workers, but the guide we got did not do his job well. I also want to go to the reservoir and to Guatapé to spend the day. Not to a horrible animal theme park that only aims for the tourist to consume, or to the upside-down house. As a person very involved in the world of tourism, I believe that things can be done much better by providing more quality in the service.

    I have been several times, but on this occasion with this agency, and I found it too complete. Thanks for everything, my friends and I were very satisfied.

    Very good experience a...

    Very good experience at an affordable cost. It helps you decide if you would like to return to Guatape with more time on your own to explore more and thus plan for a future occasion.

    Shannakay_D · June 2026

    Was a good tour, very helpful tour guide.

    It was an amazing experience. They picked us up from where we were staying, brought us to get breakfastnthen we went to guatape then the penol rock then we had lunch and they then took us on a boat ride. We saw Pablo Escobar's old house and then we went to a farm. The only thing I didn't like was that for the drop off after the tour, the communication wasn't great and they left us at a park in the night to find our way home. I think that should have been communicated beforehand.

    Everything was fine, very punctual, well explained, and a good story. Comfortable bus; as a suggestion, assign seat numbers to avoid confusion

    Guatapé Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Guatapé Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 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 Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín take?

    +

    Plan for about 10.5 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 Guatapé Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 12 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 Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín?

    +

    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 Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guatapé Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín?

    +

    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 10.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guatapé Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín 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 Tour and Dam Boat Tour from Medellín?

    +

    Included: Professional bilingual accompanying guide; Dam Boat Tour; Bottled water; medical assistance card; and Lunch. Not included: It does not include the value of the rise of the peñol stone $ 25,000 COP. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 31 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
