About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- M7378NNjackn0 contributionsGuatapeDid a tour with capture Columbia that was led by tour guide Orion. He was fantastic throughout the whole day and made the experience as good as it could get. Can’t recommend the company and him enough.Written 6 February 2025
- Q8390TFjacobw0 contributionsGuatape tour - Not as described in the description and very poor, unprofessional guideWe were very disappointed with the Guatape tour. There were a lot of frustrations with the day, but the 2 biggest problems are: 1) the tour did not reflect the description and did not allow us to see or learn about Guatape; 2) the guide provided little to no insight into the area and its history and was unprofessional. Given the price of this tour, it was very disappointing. The tour description says that we will get the opportunity to learn about the history of Guatape. The guide did not show any understanding or insight into the area, and we learnt nothing at all. Following lunch, we were only given 30 minutes to explore Guatape. This was not enough time to see most of the town, and was not sufficient for a tour that is described as a ‘Guatape tour’. Secondly, the tour description mentions a tour around the lake. This is potentially really interesting given the controversial history of the dam. However, what we experienced was not this at all. The boat driven by the guide’s apparent boyfriend took us to a very quiet island where we were given 1.5 hours to sit around and swim if we wanted. It does not make any sense that we had so much more time here than we had in Guatape, given the latter was the purpose of the tour. There is absolutely nothing in the description about visiting an island, and I would have preferred to spend this time doing what the tour description said we would: explore the town and learn about the history. Regarding the guide, she shared only the most basic facts and provided no insight into the area and its history. She was seemingly only interested in enjoying a day with her boyfriend, who was the driver of the boat. Several members of the group noticed and were uncomfortable with their behaviour, including their kissing and flirting throughout the day. It seemed that they were only there to enjoy themselves rather than facilitating a tour, and this was incredibly unprofessional. Furthermore, the guide seemed intent on making the trip a ‘party trip’ despite nobody seeming interested in this and nobody signing up for this type of trip. Regarding the food, this element of the day was really poor. We would have benefitted greatly from finding our own place to eat in Guatape. Despite being very clear at the start of the day that 2 members of our group had allergies, there seemed to be no understanding of what this meant. When requesting a lunch that avoided the allergens, the guide simply expressed confusion and said: ‘but you have to eat lunch’. The food we were served in the end was also of a really poorly quality. It was all served cold, and the meat was very dry, it was clear that it was not freshly cooked. Following this poor experience, we discussed with Capture Colombia. They acknowledged that the tour did not meet their standards and did not align with the description, however did not provide any means of resolving or compensating.Written 30 January 2025
- 683alessiav0 contributionsGuataperfectHad such an amazing day visiting Guatape, it completely exceeded my expectations! Our tour guide Orion was so nice, helpful and knowledgeable! It really made the whole experience so much more enriching! We started the day with a delicious traditional breakfast and ended at a beautiful location with a pool and a great meal! :) I would definitely recommendWritten 30 January 2025
- mustafaeG6484RY0 contributionsFantastic Guatape tourI had an amazing experience on the Guatapé tour, thanks to our incredible guide, Vivian! She was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the trip so much more enjoyable with her insights and enthusiasm. From sharing the history of the region to recommending the best photo spots and local food, she went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time.Written 29 January 2025

- brendanr8060 contributionsParaglidingThe experience was seamless and friendly and awesome throughout. Carlos was the taxi driver to paragliding but was also a tour guide giving "real talk" about Colombia which really enriched the experience. I left a better man than when I began. The company is easy to communicate and work with and very friendly.Written 18 January 2025

- beatlemahn0 contributionsBreath-taking views from the Guatapé rockWe had a nice experience visiting the Guatapé village and the Guatapé rock plus surrounding lake. The view from the rock and the rock itself are worth the trip. Communication with the company was smooth and everything was well-organized. Yeraldine, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and professional. We really enjoyed this day-trip outside the hustle and bustle of Medellín.Written 30 December 2024

Orion was an amazing guide, he had a lot of information on the places we went and made sure we were having fun. The food was good, the boat ride was fun, and the view from the top was definitely worth the 700 stairs up!Written 26 December 2024

Orion was a great guide. I was a little nervous about biking in Medellin, but almost all of the routes were in protected bike lanes. I’m a pretty fit person and I wasn’t tired during the tour nor sore the next day, very doable for most people if you’re unsure.

What a great day out! Alejandro picked us up from Los Patios hotel and we took a short ride to where the flower show bicycle competition was taking and then joined in with the 10km circular route around Medellin. We definitely lucked out with the timing as this flower festival ride only happens once a year! It was amazing to see all the different outfits and groups in fancy dress!
Alejandro was very friendly and always made sure none of us got lost in the crowds and made sure everyone was comfortable with the speed (which was a very casual and relaxed pace so it was suitable to all abilities). His English was great and was happy to chat about anything we fancied asking. We really appreciated that with this being a one-off event he was happy to stick with us for just over 5 hours which is longer than the normal tours and especially considering he has exams next week, what a great guy!
The bikes we used were mountain bikes and helmets were provided, both of which were of a good standard and the bikes were enjoyable to use.

Bike tour is a good experience in Medellín. It starts at Poblado`s neighbor, riding into the most tourist point near to downtown. The guide tour has huge knowledge about history of Medellín, answering all questions with deep base, besides that Juan is very friendly and leave you free for entertainment. Take your time to experience it bike tour riding by bicycle plan,

This is not the authentic Medellin Bike Tour! The original Medellin Bike Tour has been listed with TripAvisor for 8+ years. This new listing creates confusion; does TripAdvisor now promote same-name businesses in the same market?
