Andres was an amazing tour guide! What I love about Medellín Day trips is you can customize your tour to be what you want. Andres was so personable and knowledgeable. This was my second time doing the city tour and he showed us a few things I had not seen before. He even let me have my 1/2 hour in the museum shop. In the afternoon we went to play Tejo at the most most beautiful place. Thank you Andrea for such a great day!

Sarah was my tour guild. Great customer service, she took me to all the important areas in Medellín. She was always alert to make sure I felt safe. Nothing but professionalism from her. Any English speakers wanting to know the history of Medellín form an awesome guild, Sarah is the one.

I would definitely recommend Medellin Day Trips for a city tour. Firstly, my pre booking communication with Andres ( who runs the company) was excellent. He is very polite, informative, helpful and happy to answer any questions with patience and courtesy, He was even kind enough to arrange a pick up from the airport for me to start the city tour as i was flying in on the same day, My guide for the city tour was Alejandro. He was simply superb! He was knowledgable, cheery and an easy going, amiable person. I really enjoyed the fruit tasting part at the local market and experiencing the local transportation system. The Salon Malaga was a cool experience too and i enjoyed seeing the sculptures in Botero Square, I felt safe at all times and thoroughly enjoyed this overview of the city. Everyone in the company spoke excellent English and they truly look after their customers. If you are short of time and looking for excellent customer service, then please book with Medellin Day Trips, you will not be disappointed!
