“This was by far one of the best excursions I have ever booked. First I have to say our guide Alex is the man. He picked us up from our Airbnb in a comfortable car, aloud us to tap into his wifi, he also was extremely knowledgeable of the Columbian culture in different areas, gave us a run down of the history of Pablo Escobar, and that was before we even got to the actual excursion. Let me say that the property is absolutely stunning. I'll let you see it for yourself because words won't do it justice. We rode ATVs around the property with brief stops here and there…”

“Camilo took us on a private guided tour to El Penol and Guatape, but his words and experiences brought the trip to life. We had an amazing day, traveling around at our own pace, seeing parts of the country we would not have otherwise. The time in between the stops was the most fun, while he pointed out landmarks and provided some history and cultural significance to each area. If you are not a tour person, but want to get out of the city for the day, this is a great trip.”

An interactive experience in a family operated environment. I would highly recommend this tour and Mario to others.”
