          Stunning vistas and a special day
          Great experience! John, our tour guide, picked us up from our hotel in the morning and drove us to Guatape. We climbed the 700 steps to the top of La Piedra to stunning views. Wow! We then drove to the nearby town of Guatape which was quaint, colorful and photogenic. John took us to some good shopping areas for chocolate, coffee, emeralds and other souvenirs. The tour company and John were great and arranged a birthday surprise for one of our tour members at a local restaurant - thank you for making this a memorable and fantastic day for all of us!

          Andres Gonzales - the best Pablo Escobar tour guide
          We took a private Pablo Escobar tour with Andres Gonzales, and he was an excellent guide. We toured the cities where Pablo conducted his life and tried hiding from his enemies. The Parque which the government sponsored as they demolushed his Palace is rather eye opening. The deaths he was involved with amounted to 46k people, so he was truly a wicked man, and a narcissist. Always on the move. Andres was an excellent guide and the tour was quite revealing of the history of Columbia. I highly recommend Andres! He was professional, very knowledgeable and very pleasant. We enjoyed his company and are proud to know him. Take the tour with him; you won't be dissatisfied. He's GREAT!.

          Great time and very scenic. The quaint town of Guatape was a joy to walk. At every corner there was something to photograph.

          Take this tour with Carlos
          Carlos Restrepo was our guide and he did a great job. He was very personable, spoke English well, and was very informative. He did the tour in an organized fashion and told us about all the neighborhoods so we felt like we got a little more than just Pablo info. To top it off - he was a good driver😜

          Worth it!
          This tour was incredible! Carlos was our guide, and he was wonderful. He picked us up on time at our hotel, and took us out to El Penol, telling us about the area and answering all of our questions. El Penol itself is an intense climb, but the views are so worth it! And then we were able to go into the town of Guatape, wander around, and had a great lunch at a restaurant recommended by Carlos. And, after seeing the multiple group tours all being herded around, we were so glad to have booked a private tour-it’s definitely worth the cost! Overall it was a great day and one we will not forget!

          Amazing Transformation of Previously Dangerous Area
          Very cool to learn about the transformation of Medellin following the Escobar Era. It was amazing to see the effects of arts and culture have such an impact in keep a community in harmony. I really appreciated how passionate my guide was to teach me about his experiences growing up here.

          This tour was very fun and informative. Our guide John was extremely friendly and energetic. He told the story of Pablo that was nicely intertwined with the places we were visiting. We were never rushed throughout the entire time and it was a great experience!

          Amazing tour guide
          Out guide John was amazing, he taught us so much about the history of Comuna 13 and what it was like growing up in the city. He was so passionate about this city and made this experience unforgettable for us. He was very accommodating to my grandmother who couldn't walk very well. He was kind and so knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this tour enough, the story of Communal 13 is tragic yet shows the resilience of this city and it's people. John showed us this, and was so great we booked a second tour with him. Cannot recommend this tour and guide more! John and this tour was one fight highlights if our trip to Medellin.

          Great experience, must do in Medellin
          This was a great tour. We always had great communication before the actual tour. Our guide was Erickson. He gave us his number early in the tour so we could keep in touch. We visited El Peñol, which was great, then we went to the damn cruise. Lunch in the cruise was small, but tasty. We also visited Guatapé, which we loved! Just keep in mind we got back to the city almost at 10pm. Between people being late, traffic, it took more time than advertised. However, we loved it!

          John was such an amazing tour guide! He was so knowledgeable, kind, and just overall amazing! He adjusted the tour to my needs, and I would have loved to do all of our tours in Columbia with him! John was such a great representative of all warm-hearted Columbians and this stunning country! Touring with him is your biggest luck!

          Strong recommendation (incl. La Catedral)
          Very good and enthusiastic guide (John) willing to share all information and perspectives. Very good English level. We went also to La Catedral, which we definitely recommend. The tour is very expensive but very much worth the money for the private tour.

          We went to El peñón de Guatape, Guatapé, el salto de tequendamita, with Gustavo and we had the most amazing day. Gustavo was the perfect guide, explaining history, customs, nature.. very friendly and approachable. Thank you for the best day!

          A deeper look into the Medellin city life.
          This tour provides a great look into the real lives of the people of Medellin. As a matter of expectations, I’ll note that David has a very dry personality. Meaning he’s not a constant or in-depth explainer, nor does he express his enthusiasm really well. In other words, the tour is more like you’ll walking around the town with a local who is available to answers your questions if you have them. Otherwise, his explanations will be brief. That said, the tour was not rushed at all. David was very flexible and catered to my friend’s desire to stop and shop. If you want to see the real city life of the densely populated city of Medellin, this is the tour for you.

        It was a great half day tour. Saw exactly what I wanted to see and a lot more too (rode metro train for eg). 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

        While in Medellin i decided to splurge and hire a private guide. The best money i have ever spent. Just getting to spend part of a day with Oscar Jimenez was worth it even if we did not sight see. But his tour was fantastic. He tailored it to my desires, needs, ability. His knowledge was impressive but his ability to make it alive and real an current was phenomenal. I hope to return to Medellín and when i do i will definelty book something with Oscar. He is not rateable above all..I travel extensively and have lots of tours but none that were as rewarding as this.

        We booked a tour of Communa 13 with Alex. We had used this tour company a few days prior for a Jardin/coffee tour and had a great experience. Alex was very accommodating and very knowledgable about the area, the art and the artists. Taking a tour is a great way to get the history and see more into the way of life in this neighborhood. We had a coffee at a little shop owned by one of the artists. It was a great end to the tour...the artists and their display of talent really make this a unique and important tour and should be part of your Medellín travel plans.

        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.

        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.

        Ym, thanks for your review. I'm very glad that you mentioned that a private tour with us is way better than that cattle call filthy bus tour where you don't grasp the content since they are not fluent in English, and it's too rowdy anyway with all of those people flocking around to begin with. Also, I'm happy that you pointed out that going on your own is NOT the way to go. It is a labyrinth as you saw. It's nice to be adventurous, but not stupid. We know the area very well, as our foundation Lend Me a Hand sponsors the graffitti artists there through our big brother program. We applaud you for making a wise choice, and like you said, you took as many pictures as you wanted, stopped where you wanted, didn't have to wait for other people, and learned a whole lot!
