- BritChickAbroad0 contributionsGreat Story TellerWe were so fortunate to have Daniel. What a great story teller. He was absolutely fantastic and incredibly knowledgable. Probably because he used to work at the museum with Pablo's brother Roberto. Had a great time and it was much more than just Pablo Escobar, learnt so much about the country, politics and everything in between. Thanks Daniel!Written January 1, 2025

- KristineM6650 contributionsA must do excursion while in MedellinWe have traveled to so many countries and our family of 5 (3 grown kids) all agree that this is one of our favorite tours ever!!! Our guide David was just incredible. He was so enthusiastic all day long. Our tour was 12 hours from pick up to drop off and it just flew by. We had so many amazing stops. David is a fantastic storyteller and we loved learning all about Colombia and Pablo Escobar! The tour was just our family of 5 in a mini van, so we were able to alter as necessary. We cut out the cemetery as it saved us 2 hours that we could spend at some of the other stops that we cared about more. David was a fantastic driver. For our boat tour, we were in a private boat with just our group. This was fantastic as we saw boats filled with 50-100 people go by. Our boat driver would stop at strategic points and explain what we were looking at. Another thing about David is that he was a fantastic DJ as we drove from location to location. He had a great playlist and we enjoyed singing along to the songs. At one point he let me son DJ and he had fun picking the songs. It certainly made the driving part more fun. Bring along a raincoat and/or light jacket as the weather changes so frequently! The hike to the top of El Peñol is well worth it. The views from the top are fantastic!Written December 28, 2024

From the moment we started, his energy and humor set the tone for an incredible day. Joe made sure we felt safe, hyped, and ready to take on the thrill.The views? Mind-blowing. The ziplines? Fast and exhilarating. But honestly, Joe stole the show. He had this awesome "all-American" vibe — cracking jokes, sharing cool tips, and cheering us on like we were part of his team. If you’re debating whether to book, stop thinking and do it. With Joe leading the way, it’s 100% worth it!Written December 3, 2024

Absolutely incredible experience! What made it truly special was our guide Joe Posada. He picked us up and took us to the location and helped with translating since we only speak English. He’s a joy to be around and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience, so much so that we ended up booking another (different) tour later in the week because the impression he made on us. The staff at the horse farm were also extremely friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. You could tell the horses were well cared for. The whole experience beginning to end was very thoughtful, intentional, and the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this experience or any others by MedellĂn City Services ESPECIALLY if you get the option and privilege to be shown around by Joe!!! He will make it a memorable experience you’ll never forget while sharing his wealth of knowledge about Colombia. Truly a gem

Great experience horse back riding for the first time in over a decade. Jennifer the tour guide picked up my niece and I from our house in Medellin and drove us to the location. She even went riding with us which was great. We had a good group, took lots of pics, and got the hang of riding horse after 10min. The ride was nice with beautiful views of the country and took around a couple of hours. Afterwards we stopped for a delicious lunch, tried new foods and beverages, and got dropped off at home. Thank you so much Jennifer!

Riding through Llano Grande with Joe was an experience to remember! He’s the kind of guide who makes you feel like an old friend right away. His laid-back but professional approach made the whole trip smooth and enjoyable.
The trails were stunning, with wide-open fields and breathtaking mountain views. Joe kept us laughing with his stories and made sure we were comfortable and confident on the horses. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, he knows how to make it fun for everyone. If you’re in Llano Grande, don’t miss this! Joe’s passion for what he does shines through, and it’s an adventure you won’t forget.

We had planned a Zipline experience but after the transport there we unfortunately could not do it because of the bad weather behind the mountain. But it is good to know they take our safety seriously. LuĂs was our guide, a super nice one and spoke good English. He proposed to go horse riding when we couldn’t go for our original plan so we would not “waste” our day. That was a nice idea of him and we enjoyed the day!

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had whilst travelling! Luis was my tour guide and he was so knowledgeable. He could tell you the history of anything related to Colombia. I learnt so much and my heart was full! The horses were also very well loved and cared for. I’m so grateful to have had this fabulous opportunity. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Medellin!!
I got to meet some other locals along the way, Mateo and Juan Manuel who I will also never forget. Muchas gracias mi amors!!! Thank you for sharing these special memories with me! See you again one day

It was a great experience. I had a solo tour and everything was great. Juan was an excellent tour guide and spoke good English. We talked about various topics and life in Colombia. The horse tour was great! I have no experience with horses but it's easy to learn once they show you the basics. The scenery was epic in the mountains. Hands down just book the tour and you will have a great experience with Juan.

I had booked this event the day I landed in Medellin (September 17, 2018) and it was phenomenal. You get picked up from your hotel at the time you had requested and its about 30 min to the place where you start your horseback ride. I'm hating myself for this because I had forgotten my tour guides name *please forvige me*. But he was overall the best, like, THE BEST. He was very fun to be around and you can tell he's so passionate about what he does. Not only that, I was talking about empanadas because I was very hungry, and he even took me to a place and ordered them!! This guy goes out of his way to show you a goo time. BOOK THIS!

Definitely one for the books. Sebastian picked us up from our Air BnB and was a super fun guy to spend the day with. He took to us some great food spots before we embarked on our horseback ride. The horseback ride was absolutely worth it, and we learned a ton about the horses and some of the local history. Carlos owns the horses and farm. He is a super interesting guy. His coffee farm has the best coffee juice, which was delightful after a long morning of riding. Sebastian definitely tied the day together for us and I would 10/10 recommend him and this horseback riding experience to any of my friends who decide to visit Medellin. We will be visiting again soon. Thanks for everything, Sebastian and Carlos! Awesome day đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

This was an amazing experience from beginning to end, and one I highly recommend. Sebastian picked us up at our hotel and drove us directly to the farm where we were met by Carlos, a wonderful cowboy/poet who told us all about each horse's personality and how best to ride each one before we started. We then went on an unforgettable ride through the mountains. The scenery was phenomenal!!. The ride is catered to your comfort level. I galloped along with Carlos while my mom took her time, walking most of the way. It was clear that Carlos took very good care of his horses and was a true animal lover. We then found out that he wrote poetry, and we each got a book he had written and he signed them with a unique poem for each of us. The whole experience was amazing. If you are visiting Medellin, you should definitely book this tour!!
