Free walking tours in Guatapé

Fue muy interesante conocer la historia del pueblo y de sus habitantes. Sin esta guia, sólo ves bonitos zócalos en las paredes, pero no conoces la historia y el significado que hay detrás.

I can only recommend this tour. The tour was packed with information about the history, social issues and daily life in Guatape and showed me a different side of this beautiful little town. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you, Astrid!

Very knowledgeable and an informative local guide. It was great to learn about the local history.

Lot of helpful anecdotes that painted a clear picture of life in Guatape. Astrid showed me many places that are off-limits to normal tourists. Highly recommend.

Excelente relatoría de Beatriz, totalmente recomendado para comprender el significado de los zócalos que se encuentran en la gran mayoría de las edificaciones y la iglesia; la historia de Guatapé, los embalses, su economía y mucho más, no se lo pueden perder super recomendado.

This tour was a wonderful mix of history, storytelling, and the art form of zocalos. There were lots of opportunities for questions and going in depth in areas of interest.

This was a very interesting and informative tour from someone who was raised in Guatape and knows its history. The story of how Guatape came to be the colourful place it is is just as interesting as the colourful zocalos themselves!

Fun way to get the history of the town

It was a great experience. I learn a lot about history of Guatapé. The guide is passionated and funny. I recommanded this tour

El free walking tour por los zócalos y la historia de Guatapé fue una experiencia increíble. La guía fue sumamente simpática, apasionada y con un conocimiento profundo de la historia y cultura del lugar. Aprendí muchísimo mientras disfrutaba de los colores y detalles únicos que hacen de este pueblo algo tan especial. ¡Totalmente recomendado para quienes quieran descubrir Guatapé de una manera auténtica y enriquecedora!

Hicimos el tour con Beatriz y nos encantó! Una gran profesional y con un gran conocimiento de Guatapé y Colombia! 100% recomendable!

Astrid was so amazing! Her english was phenomenal and since she was born and raised in Guatapé, she taught us so much! It was the best tour we’ve done in Colombia! Do it for sure best 2 hours ever!

It was a very informative tour. Not only about Guatapé but also about Colombia in general. I liked it a lot an Beatriz made it very very interesting. Muchas gracias!

I had a private walking tour with Astrid, she was amazing! I received so much information about the town, the history and the people. It was definitely worth it.

La guía Astrid nos sorprendió con un recorrido muy enriquecedor por los sitios más emblemáticos de Guatapé, comentando la historia y actualidad del pueblo. Nos encantó poder tener la perspectiva de una guía local con mucha experiencia y conocimiento.

Very good tour.

Astrid was a great guide! I love starting a visit in a new place with a walking tour so that you can understand the history and culture from a local, and this is exactly what we got! It was lovely strolling through Astrid home town and seeing how connected she was with the shop owners and locals.

Astrid provided our group with an outstanding walking tour of Guatapé. Because she is native to Guatapé her knowledge of the local history was superb, Her expertise in explaining the history of the zocalos was so interesting. Our tour was in English and her grasp of the English language was fantastic. It was simply a delight spending two+ hours with her this afternoon and I highly recommend her tour to anyone wanting to know more about Guatapé

Beatrice gave us so much unexpected information.... I hadn't realised about the issues surrounding how the town transformed from a farming community into a local tourist hub as a result of all the farmers being displaced & disinherited buy the building of the dam that flooded their farms . . . YOU will LOVE this tour. Beatrice' grand fathers have lived experience of the transformation to tourism & loss if their traditional farming livelihoods. Beatrice was able to share their experiences!!

The tour about the personal history in guatape was very interesting and we liked the information about zocalos

Gabriel was a fantastic local guide. We learned a lot about the history of Guatapé and understood the architecture/decoration a lot more. We were impressed with Gabriel’s knowledge and had a great time with him. All of our best recommendations!

Beatriz is a great guide! Much history, knowledge and tips about Guatapé! I highly recommend!

Guia muy atento y divertido, nos gustó mucho sus explicaciones y lo recomendamos mucho.
