“Culture and History of Medellín! - We were a family group visiting Medellin in May and June of 2023. After we did the Coffee and Guatape tour with Tourguides Medellín, I looked at the other tours by Tourguides Medellín and saw this one. I was looking for another tour that would be more cultural and historical and to see more of Medellín that we still did not know about in our previous trips. As in our first tour, we wanted the entire tour to be in English, and so this tour was again all in English (other than asides, etc., in Espanol for the rest of our Spanish speakers). Everything from start to finish with Tourguides Medellín was great!” - Reviewed on 2023-07-03
