An delightful private tour of Medellín with David - Yesterday I had an amazing private tour of Medellín with David, and it was the perfect experience for me as a solo traveler. Seeing the city through his eyes—especially hearing about Medellín’s and Colombia’s transformation—added so much depth and meaning to the day. His pride for his people and his city is infectious yet he never avoids the difficulties and challenges of the city’s past or present. He’s an honest ambassador! David has a natural ease and humor that is both delightful and disarming. He makes you feel completely at ease while still following your lead and pace. He gave me all the time I needed in each museum and even brought me to the Museum of Memory, which wasn’t on my list but turned out to be one of the most powerful stops. We also enjoyed a delicious, inexpensive local lunch that made the day feel even more authentic. David took great care of me while still letting me explore on my own terms. I highly recommend City Medellín Services and especially David for a thoughtful, personal way to experience this beautiful city.

Super walk in a charming nature - Super Tour, with beautiful landscapes until you arrive at the place. The experience at the coffee farm, the history and explanations about the coffee all was very instructive and we will keep great memories. Our driver Alex was super kind and gave us a lot of information about the region as well.

Breathtaking - The tour was amazing . It was great to get out of the city and into the mountains. I have never seen a beautiful garden like the one we toured.aAlex was a great tour guide , his english was the best of any other tours we have done. I added pictuers but they do not do the place justice. It is a place you need to see with your own eyes. I could have stayed all day looking at the garden. Alex was so great that i will be looking to do another tour with him in the future.

Highlight of our entire trip! - We had such an amazing tour with Joe. We almost never do tours, often finding them boring. Joe is the opposite of boring. He is full of incredible stories about his time growing up in Medellin, providing a backdrop for the cartel history of the city itself. Joe is remarkably kind and generous with his time. His English is flawless. We consider Joe to be our amigo now. Absolutely wonderful!

Perfect Morning in MedellĂ­n - David is the most careful and most informative guide to the complicated neighborhood of Comuna 13. His knowledge - not only of the hillside community itself, but all of MedellĂ­n - helped us understand what we were seeing. David began the tour with an amazing gondola from which we could see all of MedellĂ­n below us. Again this overview helped us appreciate the geography and social status in ways we never could have imagined.

A profound tour and experience of Medellin that everyone should do to understand the city. - The tour was great thanks to the guide Joe. He took us to see the Botero statutes and then we went a in the palace at the park next to it and he explained very nicely the murals and then we went to the roof to see the skyline of Medellin with him explaining all the different neighborhoods and buildings, etc. then we drove to the cable cars to ride on them and get profound explanations about the different communities that live and struggle in those communities. Afterwards, he drove us to Comuna 13 where we went all the way up and received a through explanation of what happened there and in the surrounding hills. We rode the escalators and then went done. Several times, we stopped to go to the bathrooms and to have something to eat. Finally, he took me to a drugstore to get a knee support since I had hurt my left knee a few days before. Joe is a profound and knowledgeable Medellin individual who brings out and shares everything he knows about his beloved native city. He goes beyond the call of duty.
