A nice storybook feel of a town, at least for me - Nice and quaint little town....it felt like someplace right out of a story book, friendly and welcoming people...public transport are by tuk tuk...the art on homes and businesses are called zocolas which tells a little story of life's past and present...the town felt quite safe and maybe peaceful after all of us tourists have left.

Excellent Guide and excellent tours - My wife and I went on the Comuna 13 tour with Carlos, we very much enjoyed the tour and his insights to both the graffiti and the people who live in this part of Medellin. We were so impressed that we booked Carlos for the Guatape Tour the next day. This was also an awesome day. The Rock was amazing and we also enjoyed seeing more of the Columbian countryside on the drive out to Guatape. we highly recommend Carlos

Canadians in Medellin! - Me and a few friends were recommended by a friend who has previously visited Colombia to use City Vibe Tours, we did 3 tours with them- Guatape colorful town, Medellin day tour and the Pablo Escobar full day tour. Our tour guide Carlos is very knowledgeable, accommodating and patient, took his time to explain everything in details. Best of all he brought us out a couple of nights on his own time just to make sure we were well looked after, he is such a cool genuine guy, amazing! Would highly recommend City Vibe Tour to anyone that wants to tour Medellin!

One in a LifeTime - Our trip to Guatape was a an experience like no other. This was my first time visiting Medellin, Colombia and by far this place offered the best scenery of what Medellin has to offer to its domestic people as well as its tourists. We first went to the replica of "El Peñol" which shows what the actual city once looked like before it was flooded with natural water from the river that was parallel to it. We then took a speed boat to get close to the beautiful homes owned by famous figures such as James Rodriguez, David Ospina and what once belonged to the infamous Pablo Escobar. Piedra de Peñol is a must do at Guatape. A very physically demanding activity because you climb about 800 flights of steps to the top of the rock and once you're there it is a breath taking view of Guatape. Lastly, we walked around the town of Guatape. A very colorful town with a great atmosphere and awesome coffee shops. The authenticity of this place makes you want to come back and explore more. I give thanks to our tour guide Jean Carlo for being very attentive as well as informative in every step of the way to Guatape.

Medellin Escobar - We did the Escobar tour with the cable car tour and learned a lot. Our guide knew a lot about it. We prefer private driving.
