We have a great day in Guatape visiting all the sites and trying all the food included in the tour. Anna, Juan and Pedro were brilliant and we couldn’t ask for more.

Guatape.
Both Juan and Ana, along with the driver, were very attentive and explained everything very clearly, managing the bus and waiting times very well.
Guatape experience
Our trip to Guatapé, Colombia with Aerotrurex Tours was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything was fun, organized, informative, and packed with unforgettable views and experiences. Our tour guide Cesar truly made the trip special with his energy, knowledge, and amazing personality. He kept everyone engaged, entertained, and feeling welcomed the entire day. One of the highlights was getting to experience the authentic Colombian food — fresh, flavorful, and a perfect part of the cultural experience. Between the beautiful scenery, rich history, great atmosphere, and delicious local cuisine, this tour was hands down one of the best experiences we’ve had in Colombia. If you’re visiting Medellín and want an unforgettable day trip to Guatapé, this is the tour to book. Highly recommend!
