This tour was such an amazing and memorable tour! Jorge was our tour guide and i 100% recommend him as the tour guide! Hes fluent in both english and spanish. We did the pablo escobar tour and the City of colombia tour with him and we absolutely loved every minute! It was a full day tour for both tours to be completed. He personally knew so many details that it would've been difficult to know had it been a different tour guide. Definitely book this tour and all for Jorge!!

We had an amazing day (a full day) with Luis!! He is a lot of fun, has a lots of knowledge and over all and above a tour guide. From the very beginning we felt like he is our friend who we know for a long time. Luis is very courteous, friendly and polite. We made several stops including a town of old Penol and new Penol (Fenix sculpture). The view of old town replica is breathtaking. It’s wonderful to have a cold beer, a cup of coffee or a meal as well. I climbed the rock and the views from the top are surreal...the town of Guatape is a lot of fun, filled colors and zocalos art on the buildings. An incredible day with a lot to see and experience and memories to last forever. Thank you so much Luis and Carolina!!! From three gringos Nego, Frank and Jon
