10 out of 10

Absolutely amazing tour with Monica today. Even though we don’t speak Spanish, Monica went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, understood what was happening, and were okay at all times. She was so attentive, kind, patient, and genuinely made us feel taken care of throughout the entire Guatapé tour. She made the experience even more enjoyable, and we truly appreciate her effort and hospitality. Highly recommend Monica as a tour guide
