Free walking tours in Guatapé

Fue buenísima. Podíamos preguntar todo y ella nos daba informaciones no solo sobre Guatape sino también sobre el alrededor. La historia de Guatape es muy diferente a la de los otros lugares que hemos visitado (p.e. Bogotá) y nos daba una nueva idea de cómo puede cambiar un lugar rápidamente. Gracias!!!

This is an excellent tour of the heart of Guatape. You might enjoy seeing the brightly coloured murals on the buildings (zocalos), but you won’t understand their significance and meaning without taking a tour like this. The guru Beatriz is full of enthusiasm and knowledge, and the tour is a great experience. It’s a must-do in Guatape.

¡El tour estuvo genial! Si planean visitar Guatape, les recomiendo mucho contratar a los guías locales en lugar de usar agencias de fuera. La experiencia local es mucho más auténtica y enriquecedora, además el dinero queda para los locales.

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.

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.

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!!

I appreciate the owner of the touring company giving direction to the taxi driver where the meeting point was. I appreciate walking me from the taxi to the meeting spot.
