Yuly was an amazing tour...
Yuly was an amazing tour guide! She knew so much about the history and our main goal was to learn about the history that created such a vibrant culture! She made recommended stops for cultural snacks and for us to purchase goodies or watch the amazing street performers. She also is an INCREDIBLE driver and we felt 100% safe the entire time.

Insightful 4 hours in Medellin
A balanced insight into the life and death of Pablo Escobar and the impact he had at the time. This tour does not glorify the cocaine empire but sheds light on the devastation it causes. A real educational eye opener. The museum at the end of the tour was interesting too. I'd recommend the tour plus museum to gain a better understanding of the prolific drug lord. My guides Juan and Ana were very passionate about this complex topic.

A must!
Breathtaking views! Small step back in time to experience this wonderful world of coffee. Without ruining the tour with any specifics, you will enjoy and appreciate each step of the coffee process. Lunch was absolutely delicious. Definitely be prepared for a small but legit hike. One recommendation for the tour, at the end, would be to allow each of us to prepare the coffee as we would have it on a regular day, versus just tasting it black. (For me, that would be adding a little bit of milk.) That would’ve made the experience a bit more enjoyable. Overall, amazing tour!

Unforgettable Experience in Guatapé with the Best Guide, Nelson Ortiz!
Our experience in Guatapé would not have been the same without our guide, Nelson Ortiz. He is, without a doubt, one of the best guides we’ve ever had. Extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable, he made every moment both enjoyable and meaningful.
Nelson has an impressive command of multiple languages, which made communication seamless and added even more value to the experience. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with his thoughtful recommendations, allowed us to truly appreciate Guatapé beyond the typical tourist perspective.
What made the experience even more special were the incredible photos he took for us—beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. He has a great eye for capturing the perfect moments.
We feel truly grateful and fortunate to have had Nelson as our guide. Thank you, Nelson Ortiz, for your kindness, your expertise, and for making this trip unforgettable.

A great Option for Local Culture and Food
So fun. Got to see a great little town with very colorful scenery. Food choices were great. Our guide, Laura, was absolutely amazing. She shared a lot of local information and was fun! She was so easy to be with and the conversation never faultered. The food choices were amazing. Really was great to get out of the tourist regular spots and see local culture!

Must do excursion while in Medellin!
I highly recommend this amazing excursion and requesting Daniel as your tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable. I don't think there was one question he wasn't able to answer the entire day. The fruit was tasty, the history was intriguing and interesting, and we always felt safe. The cable car ride was a little scary but the views were insane. Make sure you ask to try one of the local drinks, coffee and lemonade. Seems weird but it was actually good and refreshing!

The tour was great. We...
The tour was great. We enjoyed all the sculptures in Botero park as well as the museum. The highlight, by far, was the tour of Columna 13. The energy, colors, music, food and everything else were spectacular. Our guide Carlos was great and took the time to show us all the ‘cool’ places and answered all our questions.

Best in Colombia
My favorite trip in Colombia. Worth every penny 5x over. Jose was an attentive and great guide. His English is also perfect. Trip covers everything: hotel pickup, ATV riding, waterfall and swimming, fishing your own lunch, and transport back to the hotel. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Joshua was a FANTASTIC guide!
I booked this tour with my partner and we could not have had a better experience.
Our tour guide was Joshua and he was a 12/10 tour guide. He picked us up right at the hostel we were staying at - he was informative, professional and very easy-going. He was great with letting us go at our own pace and we spent much of our tour time exploring the “Comuna 13” and the Downtown area. We never made it to the cable cars which was our own decision because we wanted to spend more time at the first two destinations and Joshua was very accommodating.
“Comuna 13” was a bustling favela type neighborhood that had plenty of cool things to check out: Bars/Restaurants, Street Food, Street Graffiti, Soccer Field and Joshua gave some insight to the history of the neighborhood as it was “the most dangerous” neighborhood back in the ‘80’s.
From there we went to the downtown area where we walked around and Joshua explained some of the more prominent buildings in the downtown area and we did some shopping with the local vendors. He also took us to the “Nacional Palacio” which was their version of a mall but it was a beautiful building with an art museum on the rooftop floor which i would highly recommend checking out. Joshua was also EXTREMELY helpful with helping us haggle on prices in the downtown area as me and my partner were not the best at speaking Spanish.
All in all - we had a great time and cannot thank Joshua enough for a great day exploring the city of Medellín!

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.

Awesome E-bike Tour with Michael
What a great experience! We had so much fun and Michael was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job of alerting people in our upcoming path that we would be biking that way. We felt safe the entire time and got to see the real Medellín, not just the fancy areas. The electric bikes were great for going up the mountain. The snack included was fantastic! Highly recommend Michael

A Top-Notch Day With A Great Guide!
This is a great full day experience, and Julio is a fantastic guide. Honestly would have expected it to cost twice as much - you definitely get a well-filled day of activities and touring. Well suited for kids - we brought our 8 and 10 year olds. Do bring shoes that can get muddy for the coffee plantation!
