View on Google MapsThe tour was awesome, we started at 6:00 am. Our guide Carlos did above and beyond to make our day perfect. Starting early you avoid all the crowds and traffic, I will definitely recommend doing that. Besides, doing a private tour you can take your time walking around or leaving early if you want to. The place is gorgeous.
Laura ended up being our own private tour guide as it was just me and my partner, and we booked this experience the day before. Picked up in front of our hotel in El Poblado and quickly driven straight to El Peñol. Went up and down before the crowds; same with Guatape where we came early and mostly had the streets to ourselves with only a few other people. Highly recommended tour if you go early (6:30 pickup).
We had the most wonderful time with Carlos. He gave us a one of a kind view into the history of Medellin, Guatapé, Peñol, and everything in between. Even though the tour was scheduled for 8-10 hours, he never made us feel rushed and let us really absorb the experience. His English was fantastic and he was so knowledgeable about history and politics of the region.

This was our favorite tour on our trip in Colombia! We had done alot of group tours and for an excursion like this we wanted it to be a little bit more personal and custom to our wants and needs. We had our tour guide Daniel and he picked us up from our hotel and we headed out to Guatape. We got to stop for coffee on this farm and feed the llamas before heading to Peñol de Guatape which me and my boyfriend got to do at our own pace for as much time as we needed, never feeling rushed. Then we headed to Guatape where we got to do some walking on our own and some with Daniel who gave us a ton of history lessons on Guatape. We got to try coffee, desserts, and other snacks locally which was amazing part of the tour. On the way back we headed to replica of Peñol which was crazy to learn about the history before they flooded the area. Overall. This was such an amazing and personal tour. Daniel was the best and so knowledgeable about everything we learned, from Guatape to Medellin to Colombia in general. If your gonna do a private tour and spend a little bit more this is 100% the tour to do so, couldn’t recommend more!!!
We had a fantastic experience on our private tour with Diego. His English was excellent, and he made the entire day smooth, fun, and stress-free (especially important since we had kids with us). He was patient, kind, and incredibly attentive to our family’s needs. Diego shared great history, took us to beautiful scenic spots, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. I highly recommend Diego for a perfect family-friendly experience in Guatapé and El Peñol.
Fantastic tour. We left early to avoid the big crowds of tour busses and had an amazing time at all the stops. Our guide, Juan Carlos, was a fount of information and made the tour way better by teaching us so much about Colombia and this area. The rock and the town were lovely.
We had a fantastic time with Juan Carlos. Even though the drive was over 1.5 hours, Juan Carlos was so knowledgeable about the history of Columbia that it felt like 20 minutes. We received so much interesting information about the history of the sites and of Columbia as a whole that he kept us engaged the entire tour. Because it was a private tour, we were able to tailor the experience to our needs, spending more time at sites of higher interest, and skipping things we were less interested in. I would recommend anyone to hire one Carlos for this experience.
This tour was amazing, our tour guide Daniel was incredible and brought us such a personalized experience. We learned so much history we’re able to have a more intimate tour experience having it be private and move at our own pace. It was the perfect amount of time and stops with just enough to do without overwhelming us. Definitely reccomend!
My husband and I took this private tour today, and we highly recommend it. We left at 6 am and avoided traffic and large tourist crowds. When we arrived at El Peñon, there were hardly any people there, and the same was true at Guatapé. The tourist buses started arriving just as we were about to leave the town, so we could take pictures and walk around almost alone. Our guide was Juan Carlos, who shared lots of information about Colombia, Medellín, and the places we visited. He was easygoing, friendly, and spoke excellent English. If you're choosing between a group tour and a private tour, I recommend going private. It will save you a lot of time and let you enjoy the sites before most tourists arrive.
The Tour to Guatape and The Rock of El Penol was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Juan Carlos, was truly special. His knowledge was unmatched!! My husband and I were treated with so much respect. From the people, sights, food we had an amazing time! We also learned a little history of Guatape and The Rock! I actually had no idea it would just be my husband and me. I've been on private tours before, but they included others. Having Juan Carlos as our tour guide was the icing on the cake! Truly special and we had an incredible time!! Can't wait to visit Medellin again! Thanks Juan Carlos for your hospitality! Truly appreciate it! This tour is a must!!
