          Worth the trip but the food/drink below needs to be price regulated as it's extortion down there
          Pretty impressive feat of engineering. I recommend you skip the main tour - most of it is just explaining the religious symbolism of the stations of the cross that are in the tunnels that lead to the actual cathedral. I would save your energy and just walk past them and go straight to the big cathedral and museum spaces at the end of the tour - the sculpture museum itself is the best thing in my opinion, it's kind of nestled in among a bunch of shops and isn't part of the main tour. There's usually a line for the video room that has more interesting history than the tour itself- the history of the engineering and mining, which is very interesting. Be aware that prices in the stores/cafes down below are CRAZY EXPENSIVE. they really should regulate this as it is an absolute rip off - at least a 500% mark-up on stuff you can get at the surface.

          Albert was such fun! He was a wealth of knowledge and had great stories to share! We also enjoyed the music jam on the rides!

          Great Story Teller
          We 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!

          A must do excursion while in Medellin
          We 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!

          Visiting a home where a farmer explains his flower business
          Thought i was going to see flower fields but learned about the special art of flower decorating that is unique to medellin. Driver was a little late and had to scramble at the last minute to find a home to visit but was good when all said and done

          Awesome Tour
          Daniel our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the tour. We had a fantastic experience. Especially in Cumo-13 we couldn’t have seen this place without him.

          Lovely Horses time
          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.

          awesome daytrip
          If you're looking for an unforgettable zipline experience, Joe is your guy! 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!

          Could not have asked for a more engaging, fun and knowledgeable tour guide. I was fortunate to have the tour by myself. After two months of travelling David by far was my favourite tour guide and tour. Thanks David Mike

        The fruit markets are definitely a wonderful morning treat! Our tour guide Luis showed us many vendors and many types of fruit and other wares. Go with plenty of room to eat, because trying as many new things as possible is the best part of the experience. Seeing all three markets also gives a great tour of the city and its history, our tour guide Luis knew how to tell the story of how things work now as well as their past.

        Luis, our guide, was incredibly thoughtful, kind, and calm. The traffic was horrible yet Luis never lost his patience. The markets were extremely interesting and it was amazing to see the amounts of food that move from the largest markets to the smaller ones. We got to sample delicious fruits and fruit juices.

        My expectations for this tour weren’t very high, but my wife wanted to do it. Good thing too- it was really amazing! We tried well over 20 different fruits as well as a variety of local snacks and drinks along the way. We’re not talking about bananas and pineapples here - we’re talking about tropical, unique fruit that you can’t get in most places. For most of these fruits, I didn’t even see them in the Colombian grocery stores! So much fun! David was an awesome guide - explaining not just the fruits and markets, but also the history of Colombia and Medellin. We felt very fortunate to do this…it was much more than just a market tour. Recommendation- do not eat before this tour!
