Medellin with the best guide! - An excellent guide and better person! We toured Medellin and Guatapé as a family with Luis and it was a wonderful experience. He is super prepared, knows a lot and took us to the best places with very interesting explanations. The best was his treatment: always attentive, friendly and indulged us in everything. He felt more like a friend than a guide!! We definitely recommend it 100%. Thanks Luis for everything! We'd go back to him without thinking.

Highly recommended--Commune 13 is AMAZING. Great tour!! - There is so much to see in Medellin, and we had a fantastic guide, Andres. We covered so much territory and did so much. Commune 13 is amazing. You should do this with a great local guide like Andres. We learned so much about the history of the area as well as life in Medellin. The private tour gives you such a better experience and adds time to do and enjoy more.

The perfect way to see Medellin!!!! - We only had two days in Medellin and we wanted to make the most of our time here so we decided to book a private City Tour for our family of 5. I have been traveling through Columbia with my daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons (5 and 8) for the past month and we are at the end of our trip! Our day with Luis Fernando was truly special! Luis speaks English very well, knows the city like the back of his hand having grown up here, is extremely knowledgeable about the history, has great stories about different events that have happened here and all of that is paired with a great sense of humor! It is not always easy to keep both adults and young children interested but we all enjoyed our day immensely. We toured around the city to the various places listed in the itinerary and took the cable car up to the top of one of the areas where the locals needed access to get back and forth to work (it wasn't built as a tourist attraction) Luis took us to a few great local spots - one of them was for empanadas in Communa 13 that were delicious! We tried one of each type and they were all hits! Everyone in the area knows Luis and from the way they greeted him, you could tell they hold him in high regard! If you want a great city tour then I highly recommend Viaja Medellin and Luis as your guide!

From Yorkshire to Medellín - Edgar was a superb guide and host for our day in Medellin. We had a thorough tour from downtown which included trips on the cable car and the metro through the city park by the river to the vibrant Sector 13. Edgar’s knowledge and enthusiasm for his city was infectious and we really enjoyed our day with him.

A nice way to get to know more of Medellin. - Mateo was our friendly and courteous driver who came to pick us up at our hotel right on time. He was very knowledgeable about the different places he took us, in a very nice and comfortable car. He also took tons of pictures in a creative way. I surely would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to know Medellin in a pleasant way.

A great 6 hour guided safe and plentiful of information experience - Alejandro was a great guide. We felt safe all the way around the city. His younger view of what Medellin was and what is has become for good and for bad was sincere and honest.

The Best Comuna 13 Tour - Our tour with Laura was absolutely unforgettable. Her English was spot-on, and her storytelling compelling when it came to Comuna 13’s transformation. She guided us through the murals, the escalators, and the local spots with ease, introducing us to amazing artists and letting us experience the real culture of the community. We never felt rushed (a big plus when you have kids); she gave us time to take photos, try snacks, and enjoy the energy of the streets. If you’re visiting Medellín, do not miss this tour, and definitely ask for Laura. She made the entire experience unforgettable, meaningful, and fun. Highly recommend!
