Great guide! Joe is fantastic. - Outstanding Tour and Joe is a fantastic guide and person. He will take you places where other tour guides won’t go (you may see if there are other guides nearby in the area that their clients will be looking with envy as you are able to visit places that they aren’t seeing and going into!) and he gives all the great stories and history of what you’re seeing. Plus, if there’s an alternative backstory, he will also tell you that so you can make your own decisions and observations about the history of the place. What I liked also about the tours that you never hear a “no “. If you want to see something he will do is absolute best to make sure you see it and know about it. Super tour, great driver too…and I highly recommend it!

Joe Posada made my Medellín trip el mejor - Joe Posada was the best Pablo Escobar guide that we could have had. He was so very knowledgeable. I couldn't ask enough questions, and I was like a sponge just soaking up his knowledge. He was very considerate and protective over my Amiga and I. He made sure we didn't slip down the trail in slippery areas. He opened and closed doors for us, watched out for us as we crossed the street. It turns out the Joe is a very impressive reggaeton free flow-er! He had so much information that was new to me, that varied from the mainstream media. Even after our tour ended, he has been considerate with responding to my ongoing questions as I re-watch the Pablo Escobar Netflix series. Joe was pur guide for two days of Pablo tours, and towards the end I felt like he was my friend. I would highly recommend Joe Posada to anyone who wants an amazing experience in Medellín and who wants to really learn a lot. Gracias, Joe!

Highly recommended tour, credible guide - Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable and credible. He shared some very interesting facts with us and answered our questions really well also. He's very passionate about Medellín and enjoys his work. He was punctual picking us up and flexible when we needed a change of itinerary due to our baby. We were in very good hands, thank you, Daniel!
