This tour was by far the best experience I have had yet on Trip Advisor! Andres was extremely friendly, passionate and scholarly. He was easy to talk to about anything! All the information he gave us was very interesting and educational. I personally don’t even like coffee, and I still really enjoyed this tour. My boyfriend loves coffee and loved the tour as well. Andres took us through the entire process of making coffee from planting the seed to the different methods of extracting. It was amazing how many flavors you can achieve from the different extraction methods. He took pictures of us along the way so that we could focus on enjoying the experience. The local family he works with were very hospitable and offered us drinks and food along the way. I could not have asked for anything more on this tour. 5+++

A private tour is the best way to see Guatape. You travel at your own pace. A private tour was especially appropriate because of the current state of Covid. Our guide Hector was amazing. While he spoke English I got to practice my Spanish with him. The town of Guatape is beautiful and serene. And lunch, OMG was muy rico! I will be back for sure for a longer visit as there is so much to see and so much shopping:0 And, of course we made it to the top of El Penol! What a vista! You cannot beat that. I am ready to move there!
