Amazing tour. Fantastic driver, guide and amazing suv.
I booked this solo and had a fantastic experience. There were two other solo travelers with me in the vehicle they had a brand new suv with starlink in it! The entire tour was fantastic and the driver and tour guide was simply phenomenal. Don’t waste your money on the cheap tours. Do this with luxury.

Breathtaking experience.
I wasn't going to visit guatape. But my guide from the other tours sent me a message on WhatsApp and told me about their new tour and so I booked it from their website directly. It is a bit expensive but theguide Santi walked up with us and brought beers and water along the way. Where. We got to the top we had a few drinks and the views were breathtaking! So happy Vincent from Chubit Travel told me about their new tour! I will be here for a few more months. I know I will be doing more tours with them as they grow!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max) cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max) take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max)?
+
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 Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max)?
+
Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxury Small Group Guatape & Penol Day Trip from Medellin (8 Max) 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, Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour with Street Food, More than Escobar Tour. 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.
