Historical Center and Gastronomy Walking Tours - We did the historic center walking tour with Juanjo and the gastronomy tour with Natalia. Both were incredible! Juanjo and Natalia were extremely knowledgeable, and we learned so much about the history and culture of the city. The food on the gastronomy tour was also delicious. Natalia knew all the vendors by name and shared a little about their stories with us. Highly recommend.

Walking tour of Medellin - For a last minute find, this tour was perfect. I did not have a lot of time for a longer tour so I found this to be perfect. It provided just enough of a historical perspective with relevant recent event history. We hit all the areas described and our tour leader Pipe was fabulous and very entertaining and informative. He was later joined by Mauricio who added to the tour and jointly finished the tour to our delight. Highly recommend.
Keep in mind this is a walking tour but the frequent stops were perfect for my mother who made the entire trek- so it is perfect for older individuals who might be hesitant of doing a walking tour!

Good tour - Very good and thorough tour. The tour guide was humorous and knowledgeable. Only small issue was communication at the start, as we went to the advertised meeting place but they had changed it so we had to walk a bit further. They waited for us so that was fine ultimately.

TOUR DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE - DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR!!! This tour does not exist anymore and unfortunately we didn't find out from the company itself, in fact we haven't heard from them or Tripadvisor after reaching out. They did not show up to the meeting point, they did not let us know it was not happening. We have not received a refund. We have not heard from anyone. VERY DISAPPOINTING. Tripadvisor- remove this from your site so other travelers don't have the same problem and are out money and scrambling to find something else to do in their limited time in the city. We ended going on Real City Tours Historic City Walking Tour and it was fabulous. Use them instead.

Terrible - Horrible experience due to the lack of communication and professionalism. We purchased the tickets, went to the meeting location as provided on the website to only find out after contacting them multiple times that they did not have a translator or guide available. Matter of fact, they actually haven’t been open since March. It was a frustrating experience to say the least. Hoping to get my refund back.
