I don’t what I fell in love more with, if our tour guide Artur or Medellin. His love for the city and vast knowledge was everything! We LEARNED so much. The story of Medellin is just something else. He was quick to respond and went above and beyond for us. We are coming back and we are definitely reaching out to him. No one better!

Fantastic day trip!
Our guide Diana Ramirez and driver Julian
took great care of us and we learned a lot about the culture and history of Colombia! In addition, Diana accompanied us up the rock of El Piñol, walked us through the city of Guatapé, organized an authentic lunch and shared her
personal experiences growing in Medellin. Diana took excellent photos and showed us the highlights of the region!
