Private tour for two of us - Santiago was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable and personable. Before the Comuna 13 climb, we had a deep dive—I wasn’t sure where it was going, but having the full story is very important to the experience.

Great experience with Tour Guide Daniel - We had the pleasure of having Daniel as our guide, who promptly picked us up from our hotel and took us on a fantastic tour of the city's most interesting sites. His extensive knowledge of Colombian culture and history, combined with his excellent English skills, made for a truly enriching experience. Daniel's expertise and enthusiasm made our trip both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch guide.

Nice private tour of Medellín - We did this tour upon landing at MDE. Pick-up was easy, and we enjoyed being able to move around in a small group with our guide, as it was just my husband and myself. We also appreciated being able to ask him questions about Medellín and having him share some of his experience growing up in the area. The one thing is we felt awful that he arrived to the airport early to beat traffic and ensure a timely pick-up, as it meant that while we had a nice time (and appreciated him trying to provide good service), it ate up his whole day. So, we tipped accordingly, because that was going above and beyond in our book.

Andres Best Tour Guide In Medellin - Andre’s was an amazing tour guide. The excitement in is voice talking about Medellin made me feel so engaged. The cable car ride to Comuna 13 was the highlight of the day. It showed the diversity of the Medellin people and their opportunity to embrace tourism.

Not what I expected - This half a day tour allows you to upgrade to a full day tour at the end to include Pablo Escobar sites, but never changed the description of the tour which caused a confusion with the tour guide. He looked very uncomfortable when we had to tell him that Pablo Escobar’s burial site was part of the tour. He wanted to practically change our tour. To add credit to our tour guide, he did added two extra interesting sites to our tour, the monument to the victims of Escobar’s killings and the pueblito paisa.
