Santiago Is the Man!
adamhK3354SO, October 2026
We had such an amazing experience with Santiago as our tour guide! From climbing the rock at Guatapé to the boat ride and lunch, everything was so well organized and enjoyable. What I appreciated most was getting to experience authentic Colombian culture in a way that you probably wouldn’t be able to on your own. Santiago was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day so much fun.
One thing that really stood out was how, on our way back to Medellín, Santiago went out of his way to get us traditional Colombian cheese with guava to try. Such a small gesture, but it made a big difference. It’s those little experiences that really give you a taste of the local culture, and I even attached a picture of it to this review!
For the price, this tour is absolutely worth it. I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Colombia, especially with friends. It was easily one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you, Santiago!
Response from the operator · comercialaeroturex Santiago really is the man! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review.
We are thrilled to hear that climbing the rock, cruising on the boat, and enjoying a local lunch made for an unforgettable day in Guatapé. Knowing that you felt you gained an authentic taste of Colombian culture—right down to that classic quesito con bocadillo (guava paste with local cheese) on the drive back—is the ultimate compliment!
We've shared your review directly with Santiago. He is so proud and happy to know that his knowledge, hospitality, and little surprise treat made such a lasting highlight for you and your friends.
Thank you for choosing Aeroturex and for recommending us so warmly to other travelers visiting Colombia!
Whenever you or your friends decide to come back to Medellín, we’d love to guide you through the art and resilience of Comuna 13, or dive deeper into local flavors on our Tour del Café. Sending you a big, warm hug from the City of Eternal Spring! 🏔️🚤🧀✨
