Tour with Daniel (April 2025) - I did this tour in April 2025 with my sister and it was an excellent experience. Daniel was a great guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about the topic. We learned so much about the history of Columbia and Medellin. Daniel was such a wealth of knowledge. We really enjoyed his honesty throughout the tour. He was very talkative, easy to converse with, and had an answer for all of our questions. He took us to several important spots through the city to share stories and history with us. Lastly we went to visit communa 13 which was really cool. It was nice to have a guide with us while we visited the area to show us around and discuss how it evolved to become what it is now. We would definitely recommend Daniel and this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about history here in Columbia.

Thrilling Pablo Escobar tour - I thought this tour was great. My tour guide was great because he was really enthusiastic about all the information on Pablo Escobar. We stopped a few times for food and drinks. We really went into a lot of places of Medellin I would not have gone just by myself. I recommend for a thrilling day of the history of Pablo Escobar.

Best guide to Medellin! - Daniel is an exceptional guide. The way he tells Medellín’s story is exciting, we were hanging on to his lips the whole time of the visit. We were even treated to a pick up/drop off that was not initially included in the activity. We loved this trip, go with your eyes closed!

Tour was made by our tour guide Daniel! - The tour was a lot of driving from location to location and less walking around than we anticipated, but Daniel was absolutely amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and excited to share all of his anecdotal stories. Daniels clear passion for the subject and hearing it from a local made a day full of information fun and easy to understand.
