Guatape and La Manuela

The whole tour was perfectly organised. None of the having to chase around or are waiting during different points of the day for no reason. The tour left around 8:45am for an advertised 8:30am tour start. My guide (Juan) and driver (Alejandro) were amazing and would highly recommend. The tour itself was great and was great value for money.
