The tour drove us around the city of Medellin; we stoped at main areas of the city and enjoyed our guided tour. - Mr. Oscar Escobar Was very helpful, clear and accurate during the tour. He explain everything into detail the good and the bad things of the city. It accentuated how special, loving and progressive are the people of Medellin.

Great Medellín Private Tour on Christmas Day - My husband and I did a private Medellín city tour with Feliciano on Christmas Day and it was fantastic. He tailored the tour to our requests and answered so many questions we had about Colombian life and history. He was punctual, courteous, professional, obviously very well educated, and his English is superb. Highly recommend a tour with him.

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!
