This tour company and guide was recommended to us from family who had taken it previously. Having never been to Medellín, this exceeded our expectations in both content, customization and personality. Our guide, Alejo , completely customized this experience based on our interests and backgrounds. He could speak across numerous genres and has traveled the country extensively leveraging his world experience into the unique history only found in Medellín. Don’t look for any other company than this one!!!!

My husband and I went on this tour with our friend. We were contacted the night before with the pickup time and name of guide. Natalia was very knowledgeable and explained everything about the city as we drove past. We rode the cable cars, walked up and down Comuna 13, stopped at a local farmers market, and a memorial park for the victims of Pablo Escobar. It was great having Natalia to help translate and add information to what we were looking at. We expected the tour to last 3-4 hours but Natalia had us scheduled for 6 hours. Just something to clarify if you’re on a timetable. Overall we had a great time!

This was our second tour in Medellin with Andres and equally rewording as the first one in the Concordia region.
The tour was performed by a local that lives in communes 13 and raises a young child as a single mother, walking up stairs every day.
She showed her neighborhood with pride, we listened to the stories behind the beautiful graffiti, visited selected galleries, took elevators and walked stairs. Andres offered additional point of views, showed us former gangs members making an honest living selling goods for tourists.
Again having a guide like Andres who knows the history, respects the local culture and loves his city was invaluable. So glad we do this with him.
On the way to communas 13 we made an important stop at the Parque Conmemorativo Inflexión which was built by the government in memory of all victims of Escobar. Getting the right aspects of this sad phase of columbias history was very valuable. Thank you for a memorable experience.
