I cannot recommend this company enough. We used two other companies for different tours around Medellin but will only use The Andes Adventure Travels in the future. Daniel was able to customize a trip for us that combined aspects of two different tours as well as get us from our hotel in Medellin to our hotel in Guatape. He gave us amazing recommendations for restaurants in Medellin even though we did not have a tour of the city with him. Diego was our guide and was amazing. His English was great and he was veru knowledgeable about history, culture, food etc. He also had connections that allowed us to skip the lines at El Penol. This was an amazing trip for us and we look forward to coming back and doing more with this company.
