Take this tour, you won’t regret it! - Feliciano was absolutely incredible! From start to finish he was so informative, inclusive and thorough as a guide. Really showing us around the city and providing a deep dive into the history of Medellin. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He’s attention to detail and vast knowledge really add to the experience. Please take this tour and ask for Feliciano!

A Lot of Medellin Highlights in One Tour! - Feliciano was an excellent guide! He helped me understand the true meaning of being “Paisa,” along the culture and people that built Medellin. He took some photos for me and let me take my time. If I wanted to linger at a certain place for photos, or if I wanted to ask for more information, he was happy to oblige. He answered all my questions and took me many places in the city. I felt I was able to see a lot of Medellin highlights in one day, and it wasn’t too long or tiresome like some 12 hour tours are. This tour was around 5 hours and was a perfect introduction that is the beautiful city of Medellin. Gracias, Feliciano y Medellin de Cerca tours!

Greatest Medellin City Tour in the Market! - Amazing! Hands down the best city tour in Medellin! I have been in 4 different city tours now with different friends and different companies and this was easily the best one out there! First of all, it’s the only one where you get a book off ALL the spots you could potentially visit (I say potentially because our guide Fabian Escobar let us prioritize spots re REALLY wanted to see or nix certain spots we didn’t really care for!), Our guide was not just knowledgeable of Medellin but local and world history which made the tour worth every second! Occasionally we would ask to stop and try a local street food or vendor and Fabian would just adjust the tour to the area or closest landmark we could see! The man is amazing! Not a second went by that I didn’t feel like I wasn’t learning something! Not to mention he always offered to take pictures for us and made sure we all got to see the things we really wanted to see! The search is over! I not only highly recommend this tour but will be doing it again myself!

Absolutely loved it! - Wow! Just wow! I was not expecting such an amazing tour! Our guide was Feliciano Escobar! Ask for him if you need an English guide! He was so good! He knew the history and significance of every site, every location and every person in the tour! He even incorporated the book into the tour! He is also an amazing photographer and more than willing so take pictures for you and your friends or family! Oh and he customized the tour to what we wanted to see! I loved it!
