Comuna 13 tour was great thanks to our guide Camilo
Camilo was an excellent guide. He waited for us at the meeting point, he helped us getting into the different means of transport, explained us all what we asked and more, and waited for us when we needed.
Camilo is a great person and very friendly. If you need to go around Medellin and know more about the city, book this tour!

A must do when visiting Medellin
We had the best day with Henry! Firstly, what a nice surprise to find out we were on a private tour. We found out lots about the history of Colombia from Henry during the drive. Our first stop was to climb the rock at Guatapé, which was amazing. We had plenty of time to do the climb and take lots of photos. From there we went on to the coffee farm tour where we had a go at coffee bean picking on Laura’s beautiful family run farm. The coffee was delicious, and seeing the process through from bean to cup was very fun! On Henry’s recommendation we went to a beautiful place for lunch overlooking the lake, then we even had time to explore the town. A truly unforgettable 10/10 day, we highly recommend Henry and his tours!

Peaceful and informative waterfall hike
This was my favourite experience in Medellin. The route was the perfect level of challenge and the tour guide Sebastian was kind and knowledgeable about the wildlife. The waterfalls were beautiful and refreshing and the views were incredible. I would recommend wearing long sleeves and longer trousers if you are sensitive to insect bites.

A great day
The tour guide was great and very friendly. Breakfast in the morning was good and so was lunch in the afternoon. The drive was comfortable. I did go to the top at el peñol but honestly the view from halfway was pretty decent so I don’t think I would do that again. I would probably just hang out and take some pictures and grab a snack instead. Overall everything was great but be prepared to walk a lot!!

Would highly recommend...
Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a side of Colombia that many tourists may not see. Our tour guide Erika was wonderful, funny and very knowledgeable. She made sure to make us feel comfortable and we got to see and experience so much. Definitely a highlight and not to be missed.

Pablo Escobar demistified
It’s an interesting activity because evidence based knowledge is presented about Pablo Escobar. So you have further information in order to compare to movies. Moreover, in the museum were presented all the published books. Therefore, if you are interested you can study more about the cartel, activities

Phenomenal
César and the driver jimmy were absolutely amazing. Cesar was informative and had great humor and transitioning with his words. He didn’t make anyone feel left out he spoke both Spanish and English making every person on tour feel comfortable. We had done a bunch of activities. Any additional things you wanted to do on tour, he made his best efforts to accommodate for you and that’s what I liked. I hope for the future I have him as my tour guide again. Thank you for the best experience.

The trip was great we had...
The trip was great we had an awesome time the bus was comfortable and the breakfast and lunch was great. Patricia did a great job and everything was timed perfectly we didn’t feel rushed. Make it sound good it’s to leave a review for a tour to Guatape

Guatape tour... A must do!
Everything about this tour was great! Experiencing the different foods,the tour guide, the stops, boat ride, lunch was great and the cheese and guava sauce. We are still talking about this. Guatape is beautiful, but Columbia and it's people and culture is amazing!

Samuel was a great tour...
Samuel was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. It was the first time for me and my brother doing this tour.
And even tho we are not big coffee drinker it was really good to learn the difference between good coffee and the bad one. Horseback riding was also alot of fun and definitely recommended this tour.

Exquisite Experience!
Our family of six had a spectacular time visiting this farm with Carlos as our guide. In addition to being a walking encyclopedia on the topic of coffee, he knows Medellin and was able to help us better understand the city as he drove us to and from the farm. The experience of better understanding coffee - from seed to processing to tasting - exceeded all of our expectations. Every step of this tour was given with exquisite thoughtfulness and care. I think part of that comes from doing it again and again and having had the chance to perfect it, but for us we felt like the first and favorite customers ever - not a hint of being part of a touristy grind. Carlos and Juan Pablo, who assisted Carlos once we got the farm, seemed truly enthusiastic to share their passion for Colombian coffee with us. Also, this farm is in a breathtakingly beautiful location. I don't think any of us will ever look at or taste coffee the same way again. Be sure to bring plenty of cash so you can buy their products (which they never pushed, we inquired and bought) as well as to tip. We left this tour high on coffee and life. Truly a highpoint of our trip. Thank you Carlos, Juan Pablo, and all at the farm!

Perfect way to get a quick look at some interesting areas of the city.
Thomas, our guide was awesome. Very knowledgeable and genuinely friendly, happy to answer all our questions. Excellent way to get a first look at the beautiful city of Medellin. Our guide took us to a wide variety of places and made sure everyone was comfortable and together. Our group felt at ease the whole time. Highly recomend!
