Admittedly, prior to this tour the only 2 things I connected with Colombia was PabIo Escobar and cocaine. I really enjoyed the Innovation Tour. I did this with a buddy and we had the bonus of 2 tour guides, one of which was in training. Our tour started with an introduction to the artist Botero and his artistic contributions to Medellin. We were also treated to Colombian coffee in a historic café that also gave Tango lessons. While traveling by tram, cable car, and on foot our guides provided us an informative, sobering, and enlightening history of Colombia. I also came away with a better understanding of the violence Medellin suffered through, the impact it had and continues to have on its citizens, and how Medellin has an ongoing transformation into a better city. The guides also did a great job of showing the beauty of the architecture of Medellin’s past, present, and future. They were personable, professional, and I had I great interaction with them. Definitely a tour I would recommend.
