A Great Introduction to Medellin - After picking us up at our airbnb in Laureles, Carlos led us on a private tour of the city. Included were a ride on the cable cars, a visit to Comuna 13 and the Plaza Boteros. With only a short time to spend in Medellin, we were able to get a good sense of the city, its past, its present and its possible future. Carlos was knowledgeable, engaging and willing to share his thoughts on past and current Colombian events. He even gave us the name of a great coffee shop in the neighborhood where we were staying! I highly recommend this tour to anyone trying to get their initial bearings in this fascinating and beautiful city.

David was a knowledgable, professional and friendly host. Gustavo a proficient and safe driver in both peak hour traffic and the narrow windy roads of Commune 13. Prompt and efficient too w lot of interesting info regarding Medellin. I got a real good start to see and understanding the city in this tour. Thanks guys

Very professional but friendly staff, and amazing views of the city. - I found this tour too late in day to book (entirely my fault, still jet-lagged), however after a brief call with Alex and Lina they went above and beyond to arrange a slot for me in the afternoon. My tour guide Daniela was very knowledgeable and made the entire tour very relaxed. I was collected from and dropped back to my hotel which made it so easy. Our driver was also very nice. I really feel like I saw a side of Medellin that I wouldn't have been able to without Daniela. The views of the city were absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend this tour.

Must-do Graffiti Tour in Medellín - David is very knowledgeable about the background of the city and the recent political climate. Knowing how the city handled/is handling the poverty and violence and how it connects to the graffiti in the Commune 13 made me appreciate the art way more than I could have by visiting there by myself. I highly recommend the private tour over a large group tour. You can stop as many times as you like to take pictures, and you don’t have to waste time waiting for other people. This was one of the best tours I’ve attended.
