"Unforgettable Adventure with the Best Guide – Highly Recommended!" - My wife and I had the most incredible time on our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Jo! From the very start, Jo’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for the journey made every moment unforgettable. Whether it was sharing fascinating insights, ensuring we had the best experiences, or just making sure we were comfortable and having fun, Jo went above and beyond. The trip was absolutely perfect, and we wouldn’t want to do it with anyone else. If you're looking for a fantastic guide who genuinely cares about making your experience special, Jo is the one! We can’t wait for our next adventure together.

Marvelous Medellin tour from the mountains to the streets - Our guide Daniel picked us up right on time and swept us away on the most interesting tour of Medellin. His knowledge base is very extensive and I learned so much from him! A truly satisfying city tour!

Private tour for two of us - Santiago was a great tour guide. He was knowledgeable and personable. Before the Comuna 13 climb, we had a deep dive—I wasn’t sure where it was going, but having the full story is very important to the experience.

Great experience with Tour Guide Daniel - We had the pleasure of having Daniel as our guide, who promptly picked us up from our hotel and took us on a fantastic tour of the city's most interesting sites. His extensive knowledge of Colombian culture and history, combined with his excellent English skills, made for a truly enriching experience. Daniel's expertise and enthusiasm made our trip both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch guide.

Nice private tour of Medellín - We did this tour upon landing at MDE. Pick-up was easy, and we enjoyed being able to move around in a small group with our guide, as it was just my husband and myself. We also appreciated being able to ask him questions about Medellín and having him share some of his experience growing up in the area. The one thing is we felt awful that he arrived to the airport early to beat traffic and ensure a timely pick-up, as it meant that while we had a nice time (and appreciated him trying to provide good service), it ate up his whole day. So, we tipped accordingly, because that was going above and beyond in our book.

Andres Best Tour Guide In Medellin - Andre’s was an amazing tour guide. The excitement in is voice talking about Medellin made me feel so engaged. The cable car ride to Comuna 13 was the highlight of the day. It showed the diversity of the Medellin people and their opportunity to embrace tourism.

You don’t get what you pay for - It was a terrible experience. I requested to add visiting Arvi Park to the tour. They agreed and almost doubled the price. As a single person it went from over 500,000 pesos for the original tour to over 1,000,000 pesos with the add on. To walk in the park which was a fair distance drive away I thought that might be worth it. But all the guide did was send me on up on a cable car ride (and on my own) over part of the park. I was told not to get off at the top of the ride (which you could do) but loop back down because that would otherwise cost a second ticket. So for the extra 500,000 pesos all I got was a cable car ride without stopping. That was 20 something thousand pesos. And I did not get into the park at all. If that was all that was to be offered they should have informed me of that and I would not have agreed to pay another 500,000 pesos. When I conveyed my concerns to the tour company three times they ignored me each time. I had to go to Viator and all I received was a 155,000 peso refund. The company never did communicate with me.
