I went on the tour to Guatape from Medellin and I could not recommend it more. Our guide Sandy who was an excellent English translator was both intelligent and funny. What really made this tour memorable for my group and the reason I am writing this review was Sandy’s kindness. He went out of the way to suggest and facilitate activities(jet skiing) for us when my group wanted to experience Guatape during our free time. We ended up getting stuck on the road because of political protests(5/3/21) and Sandy remained calm and saved our trip. He was resourceful and while dozens of other tour busses waited for hours until the protest ended he led us past the road blocks safely and onto a bus that got us back to medellin in time to go out that night. The other tour guide Elena and the driver Alberto added only good things to our trip. I can not recommend this service enough and hope that Sandy is properly commended because he truly made this tour an incredible day for our group.
