A well organized tour with lots of history. Santa Fe de Antioquia has beautiful architecture and a slow pace that we really liked. The private car was comfortable and the guide was attentive. Bring sunscreen because it gets very warm.
James T CanadaWe enjoyed seeing a very different side of Antioquia. The town is historic, colorful and quiet compared with Medellin. Our guide explained the colonial history in a clear way and gave us time to walk around the main square. The bridge was impressive.
Isabelle R FranceSanta Fe de Antioquia was a lovely day trip. The colonial streets, churches and the Puente de Occidente were beautiful. It was hot, but our guide planned good breaks and always had water ready. Very comfortable private tour.
