Relaxed and Informative tour in Medellin - Yuly was our guide and she was fabulous. I enjoyed visiting Communa 10 and seeing inside some of the important and notable buildings in the area. The flexibility was nice on a private tour. Since we had already done a fruit tasty elsewhere, we were able to try street vendor food with delicious arepas, empandada and sweets.

A terrific day tour of Medellin - Our day with Yuly was very informative, fun, and well organized! We learned a lot about recent Colombian history and culture. Yuly is knowledgeable and delightful. We could not have covered the variety of sites we visited in Medellin without such a skillful guide.

A great day in Medellín - Henry was wonderful. On time, informative and fun. He shared personal perspective coupled with historic facts making the tour we had hoped for. The hike to the escalators was demanding for our seventy five year old legs but he made it fun and easy. Ending the day with the fruit tasting was perfect.

Excellent private one-day Medellín city tour - An outstanding one-day private Medellín city tour was provided, covering Comuna 13, Cable Car ride from San Javier, lunch in the city centre at Hacienda Origin and visit to La Candelaria including Plaza Botero. Guide Henry spoke excellent English, provided hotel pick-up and drop-off, responded very well to special needs and was very energized for the tour. Good value for money!

Walking tour of Medellin - Oscar our guide was courteous and very knowledgeable in all subjects related to Colombia. Our walking tour started with the museum of memory where he gave us a detailed history lesson, then we tasted tropical fruit in a market. Followed by a tram ride and then a cable car ride where we had a glimpse of the neighborhoods in the surrounding mountains of Medellin . We finished the tour by Plaza Botero where we admired the sculptors of Botero. I highly recommend the tour specially with Oscar!

Amazing City Tour of Medellin! - Our private tour of Medellin was an amazing experience! Our best tour in Colombia by far. Oscar was an excellent and knowledgable guide, and his English was perfect. He picked us up at our hotel in the morning and showed us around the downtown area, historic district, and Botero Square. In the afternoon, we took the cable car up to Comuna 13, where we learned about its complex and turbulent history and how the community has transformed over the years. We learned so much and had such a good time. We also had an excellent lunch and a fun tropical fruit tasting! I highly recommend this tour!
