Fantastic Private Tour

A fantastic tour with a fantastic guide (David Betsncourt). We saw all the highlights of Medellin and David was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We especially enjoyed the personal service so we could spend as much time as we wanted in each location. David was always on time and kept us moving and learning all about Medellin. We highly recommend this tour and if you get David as your guide, even better.

Amazing Tour

This was an amazing tour! The view from the top of the city was remarkable. And the walk through Communa 13 was unbelievable! No way to put into words the sights and sounds we saw! Not just graffiti but the most extraordinary dance groups I’ve ever seen. And tons of shops and restaurants selling everything Colombian! Andres was very knowledgeable about his city and shared so much of that knowledge with us. I highly recommend this tour!

Very Professional company. Great service.

The car they sent to me broke a few minutes after we left for our tour. We had to be taken back to the hotel. But I need to congratulate Camilo. He quickly found a replacement car and guide and sent them to the hotel. Unfortunately, at that moment, we had already booked another tour (since we didn't have time to waste). These things happen. Camilo and his company did everything to get it fixed. But since we had already gone, they gave us a full refund on Viator. I would recommend this company to anyone who comes to Medellin. We all loved their punctuality and accountability.
