Reviews
Alejandro is the bestwhendiif
Alejandro was our guide and he was top tier! He got in touch with us before the tour to tell us what to expect and what to bring. He was punctual picking us up. He went above and beyond to tell us all sorts of information & history about Colombia and the areas we were in. You can tell that he loves his country and loves teaching people about the culture. The activities were all great as well. We had the best day and that was because of Alejandro. He even gave us great recommendations on what else to do in the city during the rest of our trip. Thank you so much for making our trip amazing. I would do it again in a heartbeat
A group of 4 of us friends had an amazing time with our tour guide Sara for a day trip to Guatape and did jet skiing as well. Sara was such a delight! We had the perfect day with her. We cannot recommend this trip enough. It was the highlight of our trip and we keep saying it was the best day ever. Must do!

Best tour in Colombia BritneyHooper
Jun 14, 2026, 10:53:42 AM This was one of the greatest tours from my trip. My tour guide Erika was AMAZING! She’s absolutely kind and she’s well informed. Erika made me and friend feel safe. Going to a foreign country as girls alone can be scary but she made me feel so safe. I have to return with my family and I hope Erika is my guide. Everything was well curated and she pays attention to detail. 100/10

Knowledge, fun, wonderful experience.S5652BDluisag
It was a fantastic experience, Erika was amazing so it made the experience 1000x better!
We learned a lot. I’m from here and I didn’t know a bunch about Guatape, neither did my boyfriend so we walked away with so much knowledge.
Thank you so much for everything! I would 100% recommend this experience.
Erika has so much knowledge and she makes everything interesting while having fun.
Great way to spend the day with a little actionJohn_W
Apr 27, 2025, 10:48:18 AM Terrific guide. Perfect english. Easy enjoyable way to spend the day with a little action mixed in. The lake on a jetski was a pretty fun way to see the place. They had extra jetskis ready to assist if anything went wrong.
Ericka was the best, she was so friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t have wanted any other tour guide for us. Very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around
We had an amazing tour and our guide, Laura, was absolutely spectacular. It was worth it to do the private tour and she was able to provide us with so much information ! we even requested to have her as our regular tour guide. Thank you for making us have unforgettable memories !
Sara was the bestMatthew_H

☀️Erika was an excellent and amazing guide. She was special. So attentive all the way. Great Jetski adventure in Guatape⛰️
Amazing ExcursionY8466VYchadb
This excursion is amazing. It’s about a 2 hour ride from Medellin to Guatapé. We stopped about half way in between to feed llamas which was really cool. Our tour guide Camilo was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He made the 2 hour ride there and back very enjoyable with his conversation and Knowledge about Medellin and Columbia. For the Guatapé rock I would recommend comfortable shoes and some water for the climb up but the view at the top is well worth It. After that you eat lunch and walk around the beautiful city of Guatape which is amazing. End the day with riding jet skis which was really fun as well. Highly recommended this excursion. Well worth the price.
Lasting MemorykaikB2772IS
Best time ever our tour guy was amazing. He made sure we saw everything we needed and bought souvenirs for our families. Any questions he knew all the answers to.
Great tour and our guide was awesome. Thanks to Esteban for everything and we recommend this tour with Jetski.
Great experienceMelissaL03
We had an amazing tour and our guide, Juan David, was absolutely wonderful. It was worth it to do the private tour and get the jet skis. We were able to go at our own pace and Juan provided so much information and answered all our million questions. Highly recommend.

Juan Camilo is the best! He is a good story teller and the tour was amazing. Jetski ride was the highlight of this tour. 👍👍👍
Great time! Erika is super knowledgeable and took us on a great tour. She has a great sense of humor and is knowledgeable about a variety of topics, including the best restaurants in Guatape. Jet skis were the highlight of the trip - nothing beats the freedom of navigating the waters on your own!

Unforgettable day in GuatapéMartinGeck
We booked this tour with my group of 4 people for the recommendations of TripAdvisor and we were hyper satisfied. The ride is spectacular with unique views and the experience with the Jet Sky was flawless. We found it a very good price for the whole package and it really exceeded our expectations. A special mention for Yuly our guide, who was extremely attentive in everything, full willingness and attention to the group, and admirable patience!. Thank you Yuly!!
