Informative historical tour through Medellin.

A very informative and exciting tour through the city of Medellin. We also had the opportunity to visit the memorial of Pablo Escobar, which would not be safe without the guidance of a guide. Furthermore, the botanical garden with wild macaws, downtown Medellin, and various neighborhoods. Daniel speaks fluent English and Spanish and is an absolute insider, as he grew up in Medellin and can therefore narrate the history of Medellin in a very engaging way with his own experiences. Thank you very much for the great tour, Daniel!

An Amazing & Informative Medellín City Tour

My husband and I had the most amazing experience on the City Tour. David was our tour guide, who is very knowledgeable of the city history. We learned a lot from him about the history of Colombia. His English is excellent and he is an excellent guide. If there were more stars I would definitely give him more 10/10 -seriously speaking. Way to go David! Keep up the excellent job!

Unforgettable private tour with Luis Albert Gomez»

It was my first time in Medellín – and the tour with Luis Albert Gomez was just perfect. He took the time all day, showed me the city in a personal and warm way and responded to all my wishes. Private, flexible and full of beautiful impressions – from local food to special places on the go. Thank you, Luis Albert Gomez, for your patience and great company. A highly recommended tour!

We highly recommend this tour and ask for Alex Herrera as the guide if there is a choice.

Loved the trip. The planning was good. We had an amazing time. The guide Alex Herrera was simply the best. He adjusted and customized the tour a bit based on our asks. He allowed us to spend enough time at each of the stops and explained everything with proper diligence.

We had a lot fun and liked Medellin very much

We strolled around Down Town, explored the market and tried all kinds of fruit, took the elevator over the rooftops of Medellin to Arví Park (but you need at least a day to walk around here) and visited Comuna 13

Dear N9348MKelenas, Many thanks for sharing, great to know you have totally enjoyed this tour and it would be a pleasure to assist you again soon. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services SAS

Fantastic stories and history and Joe is awesome!

Had a fantastic private tour of Medellin and the guide Joe was such an awesome character. Clearly well connected to the community, knew all the stories of the Cartels and Pablo Escobar and this beautiful city. Clearly a lot of knowledge and first-hand experience. Also very flexible with the itinerary when my flight was delayed and we lost some time together. Only sad because I would've loved the extra two hours! Really great to learn about the stories and the remarkable transformation of Medellin. Definitely recommend for a private tour and driver, felt totally safe the whole time.

Operator response

Dear 613lawrencel, Thank you so much, great to know you have totally experienced the new Medellin due to guide was awesome. Always guaranteed! Please come back soon! Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®

An unforgettable day

Our guide Daniel was very friendly throughout the journey and was soaking us with his knowledge of the area and history not only of the ppr areas where we travel, but also of Colombia in general. He set out to take pictures of us whenever we needed him and slowed the passage according to the areas of the tour where we showed the most interest. Our favorite parts of the tour were undoubtedly the Arvi Park and the Palacio Nacional shopping center (5th floor). Commune 13 and the story surrounding it was quite informative and gives a touch of light amid the darkness in which things can always change. If this is my first time in Medellin, you cannot leave without having experienced this tour.
