We highly recommend this tour and ask for Alex Herrera as the guide if there is a choice. - Loved the trip. The planning was good. We had an amazing time. The guide Alex Herrera was simply the best. He adjusted and customized the tour a bit based on our asks. He allowed us to spend enough time at each of the stops and explained everything with proper diligence.

We had a lot fun and liked Medellin very much - We strolled around Down Town, explored the market and tried all kinds of fruit, took the elevator over the rooftops of Medellin to Arví Park (but you need at least a day to walk around here) and visited Comuna 13

Fantastic stories and history and Joe is awesome! - Had a fantastic private tour of Medellin and the guide Joe was such an awesome character. Clearly well connected to the community, knew all the stories of the Cartels and Pablo Escobar and this beautiful city. Clearly a lot of knowledge and first-hand experience. Also very flexible with the itinerary when my flight was delayed and we lost some time together. Only sad because I would've loved the extra two hours! Really great to learn about the stories and the remarkable transformation of Medellin. Definitely recommend for a private tour and driver, felt totally safe the whole time.

An unforgettable day - Our guide Daniel was very friendly throughout the journey and was soaking us with his knowledge of the area and history not only of the ppr areas where we travel, but also of Colombia in general.
He set out to take pictures of us whenever we needed him and slowed the passage according to the areas of the tour where we showed the most interest.
Our favorite parts of the tour were undoubtedly the Arvi Park and the Palacio Nacional shopping center (5th floor). Commune 13 and the story surrounding it was quite informative and gives a touch of light amid the darkness in which things can always change.
If this is my first time in Medellin, you cannot leave without having experienced this tour.

Entender Medellin - Excellent approach to move the reality of Medellin and its recent history with a great narrator of the
Urban evolution in all its social, economic and alternatively artistic manifestations. There is no other way to know Medellin for young and old with an open mind. Great David and great memory

Great Tour - Eyes of Local - Really good all day tour of the city. It was interesting to see things through the eyes of a local. The tour guide I had was fantastic and explained many things to me that I would not have seen on my own just running around the city. I highly recommend booking with this company, they are very professional and have a lot to add to form an understanding of Medellin.

walk the city - Walking the streets of the city of Medellin is seeing the strength of the country where the development of the city is seen. Safety is also very positive. Walking through the space and being impressed with the commerce where you literally find anything you need.
