Highlights
  • MedellinDayTrips - Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory.

This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of the most delicious ones.

In this short stop, we are going to visit a farmers’ market so you can be in a non-touristy place. Once there we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.

This is around a 20 minutes stop that is on the way to Guatape but our guests have loved it so far, so we are sure you are going to love it too.

It is also a good opportunity to stretch your legs after 1 hour of sitting in the car before we reach the coffee farm, our next stop.

A wonderful day - Our guide Laura was AMAZING. She picked us up from our AirBNB and off we went for a day full of great conversations and exploring. Delicious fruit before climbing the rock and lunch after was delicious. Intimate coffee tour was so nice too. There was so much more but to sum it up…it was a perfect ending to our wonderful trip to Medellin ☺️.

Juan is the man - This tour was excellent. We called and had it booked very last minute (literally same morning at 6am) and were lucky enough to have a tour guide, Juan. Juan is excellent -- his english is impeccable and he's super knowledgeable and fun. Having been on other coffee tours before, this coffee tour was definitely a highlight. It was highly personalized, they answered my endless questions, and we got to walk through each process in detail while picking the cherries ourselves. We wanted to also practice our spanish and Juan was patient enough to speak slowly in spanish so we could learn and then translate the parts we couldn't understand. Overall, highly recommend this tour and Juan!

Perfect day on our private tour of Guatape, fruit tasting & rock - Daniel did an amazing job teaching us about the culture and history of the areas we went to. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating on our private tour. He listed to what we wanted to spend more or less time on and tailored the day accordingly. Daniel did an excellent job teaching us about the coffee making process. He bought a lot of exotic fruits that we were able to taste. He’s very good at speaking English and we had no trouble understanding him. I would recommend Daniel for any of the tours he offers.

Perfect day trip from Medellin - Such a great day trip - loved that it was flexible so we could go at our own pace and not feel rushed. Alejandro was a great guide throughout - Guatapé was such a cute place to explore and have lunch! Great way to pack a lot into one day!

Guatape in a day - We had an incredible tour experience with Laura during our visit to Guatape. From the breathtaking views atop Guatape Rock to the charming streets of Guatape town and the immersive experience at a local coffee farm, Laura made every moment memorable. The day started with a visit to a fruit market and exotic fruit tasting, then we headed to Guatape Rock. Sara provided interesting historical and geological facts about this iconic landmark, making the ascent even more rewarding. The panoramic views at the top of the rock were breathtaking Exploring Guatape town was a delight. Laura guided us through its colorful streets, pointing out the unique and vibrant decorative panels that tell the story of the town's culture and history. Her knowledge of local traditions and her ability to connect with the community gave us a deeper appreciation of this picturesque town. The visit to the coffee farm was a highlight of the tour. At the farm, we met Miller who shared his extensive knowledge about the coffee production process, from bean to cup. His explanations were thorough and engaging, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Tasting freshly brewed coffee right at the source was a treat, and Miller & Laura ensured we understood the effort and dedication that goes into every cup. Throughout the tour, Laura was warm, attentive, and professional. I highly recommend Laura & Medellín Day Trips to anyone looking to explore the wonders of Guatape. It was an awesome experience.

A great day trip! - This was such a great day activity. Erica was an absolutely fabulous tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and fluent in English in Spanish, which was helpful for our group. She knows so much about every stop of the tour, it was extremely helpful to be able to ask her anything.

Fun day trip - This was a great day trip! Laura was our guide and was so friendly and knew tons of people at all of our stops. Because it was a Sunday and more busy we went to Guatapé first to miss more of the crowds, which was great. The coffee farm was fun and the owner was super friendly and a bit of a jokester. The coffee was great and we walked away with 7 lbs of coffee along with some chocolates made with coffee as well. Were coffee people so it didn’t take a huge sales pitch. It was really nice being more one on one. I can’t imagine riding in the large tour busses through the narrow and windy roads there.

Great day trip - We did a full day tour with Laura and had a great time! It was on a Sunday so we stopped in Guatapé first to miss some of the crowds and went to the coffee farm after. It was really nice to be more one on one with Laura. I can’t imagine riding in the tour bus to Guatapé on the small roads!
