          Sebastian is the best
          Second time doing this tour with Sebastian and he never disappoints. Anytime I bring someone new to Medellin I make sure I can show them the transformation of the city, and there is no better ambassador than him. Thank you for everything! I'll be back! I must say though that the tour profile needs to be updated as this does not go to Comuna 13

          Great experience, worth it!
          Great tour, worth the price we paid for a thorough tour and dynamic approach. While other tours may be cheaper, they seemed to focus on graffiti, drinks, and views for photo ops. This tour included transportation, entry to the Museo de la Memoria which I wouldn't have gotten a lot out of without a guided visit, and an additional Comuna 13-specific guide in that neighborhood. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and was intentional about the social, historical, and political framing of Medellin's history and narrative.

          Great tour, and more importantly, an amazing, knowledgeable tour guide with a lot of passion for his city!
          We booked our tour through Colombia Travel Operator, who were amazing from the very beginning. They organized everything and made it possible for us to make the payment when we arrived at the hotel. We had an incredible experience on our tour with Sebastian in Medellin. From start to finish, the tour was exceptional, providing us with deep insights into dark history of the city and what it has now become. Sebastian's extensive knowledge and passion for Medellin truly shone through, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Sebastian was incredibly accommodating, tailoring the tour to our interests and ensuring that all our questions were answered. His engaging storytelling and explanations made the tour not only informative but also captivating. We appreciated his warm and friendly demeanor, which made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout the journey. We wish we’d known this earlier and booked more tours with Sebastian. He went above and beyond to provide an unforgettable experience, and we can only imagine the other hidden gems of Medellin he could have shared with us. If you're looking for a tour guide in Medellin, we highly recommend Sebastian. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for his city will undoubtedly enhance your visit. We can't wait to return and explore more of Medellin with Sebastian as our guide.

          Transporte en Colombia
          If you travel to Colombia and take public transportation or Uber, be careful to close the doors abruptly, this is taken as impoliteness and that you are rude.

          Fantastic trip!
          We spent a week in Colombia and our four days in Medellin with tour guide Sebastian Valencia Serna was the best part of our trip! Not only did we see the coolest parts of the city - Comuna 13 was definitely a highlight, but we got so many incredible insights from Seb everywhere we went! We leaned so much about beautiful Medellin and had so many laughs too! We can’t wait to go back and explore more. Thank you Colombia Travel Operator (and Seb)! ❣️

          Who would think to put a Cathedral in a salt mine. It traces the 14 steps of Christ plus a beautiful chapel.

          Great company and team!
          Great service! The company was able to accommodate my party of 11 and several changes that needed to be made. They were even able to get a last minute car for a early departure.

          Excellent Tours
          We enjoyed 2 amazing tours of Medellin City and Communa 13 with Colombia Travel Operator. Our guide, Julian, was great. He was punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and helpful. Julian ensured we were comfortable, safe, hydrated, and enjoying each experience. Our driver, Victor, was the best driver we had during our time in Colombia. And Ari, the young guide who showed us around her home community, Communa 13, was amazing - willing to share the history and her experiences of this fascinating community while answering all of our questions with insider knowledge. All the staff at Colombia Travel Operator were great and ensured we had memorable experiences in an amazing city. Highly recommended during your visit to Colombia.

          Great guide and see so many parts of the city!
          The name of our tour was Corner to Corner, and it is spot on. You go from one end of the city to another all in one day. Gives you the opportunity to take trains, buses, escalators, and cable cars. Got a taste for all Comuna 13 has to offer and experience the tranquility of Arvi. The guide, Sebastian was very good, especially with an overly large group (20). This excursion should be no more than 10 people per tour guide, probably better with 6-7.

          Great day in Medellín!
          I did the Corner to Corner tour with Sebastián last Sunday. It came highly recommended to me and did not disappoint! It’s clear Sebastián cares deeply about his city and the people of Colombia. I especially appreciated the multiple perspectives shared throughout the day, the history, the challenges, and the beautiful stories of transformation. I learned so much. It can’t be easy taking 20 people on a tour for a full day on buses, trains, and cable cars! Very impressive. Much appreciation. Had a great time! Awesome way to explore the city!

          Phenomenal guide and company!
          Sergio was our guide on the Social Transformation Tour, co-led by in Comuna Trece. Both were incredible and knowledgeable guides. We enjoyed their company very much - so much so that we booked a private tour of Guatapé. Sergio’s knowledge and expertise is huge and we benefited! We will definitely book with this company again!

          Excellent travel agent for a great country to visit.
          This review is not only for the Christmas Lights in Medellin but for our entire experience in Colombia. Our (three senior citizen couples from Las Vegas) nine-day trip to Cartagena and Medellin was nicely planned by Laura and Julio, with our frequent input. It was perfectly executed by their local guides, Sandra in Cartegana and Joseph in Medellin. Joseph is knowledgeable, fun, and flexible. He was a great company for all of us. We visited all the popular attractions in both the cities and found the country to be colorful, and interesting, and the people to be nice.

        Carlos is an excellent guide - he knows so much about history, government, politics, nature, and recommendations for local snacks like empanadas, fruit juices, and coffees. His English is amazing, and they pick you up from your hotel! Carlos gave a great explanation of the churches near Monserrate and also the sculptures and the plants. His knowledge of the gold museum was exceptional, too. He did a great job managing the tour for our group of 13 family members! You will enjoy this tour and learn a lot!
