Colombia is more than Escobar
335jennd, September 2026
The booking was well worth the price of the tour. Our tour guide Jose was amazing! Communication was great as well as the lunch that was included. The only thing I would say that was a bit annoying was the driver was honking at everyone and everything, he must have been famous around there. It’s a long day so plan accordingly.
Response from the operator · comercialaeroturex It is so wonderful to hear that Jose took such fantastic care of you and that the lunch and logistics hit the mark, even if your driver was a bit too eager with the horn throughout the journey to Guatapé! Drivers around here definitely like to make their presence known, but we appreciate you rolling with it and pointing out how much value you got out of the day. Since you appreciated exploring Colombia's true identity beyond the usual clichés, you would absolutely love diving into our rural traditions with the Tour del Café or discovering the city's incredible urban story on the City Tour next time! Thank you so much for traveling with us and sharing your honest thoughts, sending you a big warm hug, and we hope to see you back on board again soon! ☕️🏙️
