Fantastic trip! - We spent a week in Colombia and our four days in Medellin with tour guide Sebastian Valencia Serna was the best part of our trip! Not only did we see the coolest parts of the city - Comuna 13 was definitely a highlight, but we got so many incredible insights from Seb everywhere we went! We leaned so much about beautiful Medellin and had so many laughs too! We can’t wait to go back and explore more. Thank you Colombia Travel Operator (and Seb)! ❣️

Excellent Tours - We enjoyed 2 amazing tours of Medellin City and Communa 13 with Colombia Travel Operator. Our guide, Julian, was great. He was punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and helpful. Julian ensured we were comfortable, safe, hydrated, and enjoying each experience.
Our driver, Victor, was the best driver we had during our time in Colombia. And Ari, the young guide who showed us around her home community, Communa 13, was amazing - willing to share the history and her experiences of this fascinating community while answering all of our questions with insider knowledge.
All the staff at Colombia Travel Operator were great and ensured we had memorable experiences in an amazing city. Highly recommended during your visit to Colombia.

Great afternoon! - Just finished an afternoon tour all over the city including Communa 13. Andres was super knowledgeable and BBoy with Casa Kolacho was great. Highly recommend this tour to learn about the city and all they are doing to improve the quality of life for many.
