Questions & Answers about Traveling from Medellin to Guatape

There are a few options for the Medellin to Guatape transfer, including transfers by a few bus companies and private transport services. The Daytrip private car service is the most comfortable and convenient way to visit this small town, offering swift door-to-door service with an English-speaking driver.
While there are taxis in Gautape, it may be better to choose a private driving transfer to customize your itinerary as much as possible. A tour operator or bus company will also limit your available departure times, making it harder to avoid crowds during peak travel times.
A bus ticket from Medellin's terminal Norte (North Terminal) to Guatapé can cost as little as $6 online but may cost more when purchased on the day of travel at the station's ticket booth. Travelers may use Medellín's metro system or additional buses to reach the terminal Norte bus station.
Medellin to Guatapé can be a day trip as they’re only 2 hours apart by car, but an overnight trip allows more time to explore this colorful town. The small town is a highlight of South America, and visitors enjoy strolling among the colorful buildings or taking a coffee tour.
There are two main bus terminals in Medellin. Terminal Norte (north) is used for Guatapé, and travelers will leave from the ground floor. Many buses leave here for routes throughout South America, so travelers should arrive early to find their gate number.
Driving from Medellin to Guatapé will be faster than public transport, and a Daytrip private transfer is the perfect stress-free solution for this transfer, giving travelers comfortable and convenient transportation with an English-speaking driver and optional sightseeing stops on the way.

Excellent service for transfers in Thailand

I was unsure about this company but a few good reviews on Trip Advisor made me take the chance. I am so happy that we did. We needed a ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Our driver Saksun was an excellent driver - it's not a long distance to drive (by Texas standards!) but the road is challenging and there are a lot of places where improvements to the road are being made. It took around 3 hours with a stop at a place with very clean bathrooms, very interesting hot springs and a place to get a snack and cold drinks. Saksun had a vehicle that was fantastic for this type of drive - a very comfortable ride indeed and was obviously well maintained and very clean. I highly recommend this company. I used to post on trip advisor as "lakekariba" but got out of the habit of doing so. This company was so easy to use and the result was so enjoyable that I felt that the company Daytrip and the driver Saksun had earned our trust and a glowing review.

Excellent option to get to Vienna to Budapest!

We used Daytrip to travel between Budapest and Vienna with a 2 hour stop for lunch in Bratislava. Our driver Zsombor arrived on time at our hotel in Budapest and was very friendly and informative throughout our trip. His vehicle was roomy and clean and he was kind enough to provide us with some bottled water for the trip. Our quick visit stop in Bratislava was very nice as well. He gave us plenty of time to explore the city and have lunch before meeting him again when it was time to head for Vienna. Daytrip provided us with a happy and trouble free transfer between Budapest and Vienna. Many thanks to your team and especially to your driver Zsombor!

Great communication with an actual person! They will take you ANYWHERE, No pre-set routes to choose from!

Last minute plan change and Daytrip was our last resort so I chatted with them and had an immediate response from a real person, best situation ever. Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.
