Beautiful
We appreciated the Professionalism and Service. Mauricio introduced us to the region, fruits, coffee, cheese loaves... and Guatape artists, all in a good mood.

Excellent
Excellent Service. 100% in organization, communication, price and attention. The service from Señor Maurio and all the drivers was great.

Highly immersive tours by true local with global perspective
Had an incredible time in Medellin! Mauricio gave us a multiple day tour through the comunas, Guatape, and Pablo Escobar tours. He is very well known in the city, and his reputation precedes him everywhere we went. Not only was he a wealth of knowledge and interesting history, he was also a great addition to the bachelor party crew. 10/10 experience and would recommend to anyone visiting Medellin!

Great trip to guatape
Our trip with Maricio was was wonderful! He was very knowledgable about the entire region! He went above and beyond to let us sample local foods. If we were staying for longer we would have done more tours.

EXCELLENT
Mauricio and his team are excellent, I have taken almost all the tours that this Enterprise offers and really whenever I return to Medellin they are my first and only option. Mauritius is super attentive and as a guide is very prepared. The transfer team are comfortable, clean and very responsible when driving. I recommend them for 1000.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin cost?
+
Prices start at $243 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 Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin?
+
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 Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour: El Peñol and Guatape Dam from Medellin 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.
