    Good but expensive

    The price (the tour is 85,000 more expensive than others that offer in the city) and logistics (I was not picked up on the scheduled day). The walk is very nice, the food is good and the best is the return by the dam (although with music at too loud a volume). However, I found it expensive because the food is nowhere fancy.

    Guatapé - Travel from town to town

    Good handling of the schedule of activities and selection of restaurants for breakfast and lunch. The guide had ample historical and geographical knowledge of the area. I recommend that you allow a little more time for people who climb the rock of the Rock (considering that you line up to climb as if to descend)

    Response from the operator: Muchisismas gracias por tu opinión. es de gran ayuda para nosotros. el tiempo que damos para subir a la piedra es el mismo que tienen los demás pasajeros para recorrer la base de la piedra. lamentablemente no podemos dejar esperando al resto del grupo ya que debemos cumplir con un horario para el almuerzo.

    Tour to Guatapé: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Tour to Guatapé cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 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 Tour to Guatapé take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Tour to Guatapé worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 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 Tour to Guatapé?

    +

    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 Tour to Guatapé suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour to Guatapé?

    +

    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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour to Guatapé 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 Tour to Guatapé?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Boat tour by the respresa; Lunch; Breakfast; and Health insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Tour to Guatapé?

    +

    Sense south north. 7:05 AM Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Tour to Guatapé offered in?

    +

    It runs in 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 Tour to Guatapé?
