Family of 5 (parents + 3 teens) took 3 tours in Medellin with AndesAdventure (City Tour, Guatape and Santa Fe de Antioquia) and all 3 tours were great! Andres was very helpful and accomodating in setting up all of the trips (including transport to and from airport) and JuanP and Carlos were great drivers and tour guides. Overall a great experience and we were lucky to not have hit traffic jams in any of the tours b/c they were mid-week. Highly recommend this company, country and city!

My friends and I traveled and experienced Medellín with Daniel for 3 days. He was extremely enthusiastic and filled with positive energy, not only that his vast amount of knowledge and the passion for the city he grew up in really had me wanting to know more. Very prompt on time, and he got to know everyone on the trip. 10/10 thanks Daniel
