    Very personal and educational tour with amazing guide David
    Was a private tour, felt like hanging out with some locals instead of being a tourist. David was very enthusiastic and knows a lot of locals, we skipped el cathedral and grave because not much to see there but we do visit his barrio, his previous private apartment building and house where he killed himself. Finished at Comuna 13 which was the highlight of the tour. Can recommended!

    Louis is an amazing tour guide
    If you have to get a tour guide, you have to ask for Louis he was absolutely amazing. Louis took us on a few tours as he was amazing from the first day, we met him.He went over and beyond and what he should’ve done. He showed us everything. He is so knowledgeable in Medellin and we learned a lot about his country. He took his time we went to lunch. He crack some jokes it was like a friend giving us a tour of his country. Now I consider Louis one of my good friends in Columbia. He was amazing I highly recommend him.

    Best tour company I have ever used.
    This is a great company to hire if you would like to learn about the history of Medellin and Columbia in general. My guide Daniel was incredible and very easy to have conversations with. I felt safe, entertained, and I wish the tour was longer. Great job guys!!

    Great private tour to see Medellín
    We had a great time with Luis. He customized a trip for us based on what we were interested in doing. We went downtown Medellín, took a cable car ride in Communa 13 and visited Pueblicito Paisa. Luis is very kind and knowledgeable about the city of Medellin and a plus for us was that he speaks English really well. He was the perfect tour guide. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the tour. If ever in Medellín again, we will certainly contact Luis.

    Highly recommend the Medellin Paisa Tour with George
    Went on the Medellin Paisa Tour on 29 Oct. with George, and had the best time. First of all, he was very much punctual in picking us up despite our last minute booking. Then during the tour itself, he was very knowledgeable about the places and facts he took us to. He gave us many tips on how to navigate Medellin on our own, and took us on a little food trip as well. Highly recommend asking for George if you book a tour with this company.

    Captivating walking tour
    This is a really cool, visually & historically interesting tour; after 2 days of physically grueling tours, this one was more easygoing but no less captivating. We made several stops to the advertised points of interest & our guide was very informative.

    Unique Cultural Experience!
    This was a really special experience! Our guide Alejandro and driver Alex were phenomenal hosts to us during our visit to Bogota. Alejandro has very good English which made everything a lot easier for those in our group with no Spanish. He was extremely knowledgeable, well spoken and fun. The tour began with Alejandro asking what type of tour we wanted and then he personalized the tour to our choices. We started with a driving tour of some really cool street art streets and then to a vantage point above Bogota which really gave a great view, pictures don't do it justice though I have attached some! He then took us into the heart of La Candelaria where we walked the streets and even sampled the local alcohol of Colombia - Chicha. Alejandro was very knowledgeable about the area and showed us a lot of cool sites within La Candelaria. After our walking tour Alejandro took us to play Tejo, which was a really great experience and activity for our group. Then Alejandro took us to our final spot, a local bar and restaurant in Colombia where we were able to experience the local music, dancing, drinks, food and culture. Overall it was a really great experience and I can't recommend it enough. Our whole group says it was the highlight of our time in Bogota!

    Like having a local friend for a day. Informative, comprehensive and fun!
    The tour was wonderful! My guide was knowledgable and easy-going - I really felt like I was exploring the city with a friend. Not only did he cover all the major sights but also personalised the tour for me by visiting some atypical sites and giving me a real local view of the city and it's culture. My guide took me for lunch at his favourite local restaurant for one of the best meals I had during my visit. Having a private tour also allowed me to spend more (or less) time at places so we could cover more of them. I highly recommend signing up for this - particularly if you're new to the city!

-Carlos's hospitality and knowledge of his home country is unimaginable. He is very knowledgeable, reliable, prompt and most of all he makes you feel safe and comfortable. I have visited Columbia 2x. There is no other individual who I trust to ta show me around the beautiful City of Medellin. I look forward to seeing you in December my friend, my brother from another mother. Thank you for inviting me into your home and getting to know your family, you are truly blessed. Stay Humble my friend!

We had a group of 14 of us booked for a private day tour of all of the sites of importance to Pablo Escobar in Medellin. Carlos was exceptional, hearing his stories and his point of view was eye opening and made the trip that much better. Amazing service, best money spent in Medellin!

We originally booked the Pablo Escobar tour and then emailed the company to see if we could combine it with a city tour - they got back to us quickly and let us tailor it which was brilliant.

Carlos was a brilliant guide; his knowledge is phenomenal and the sharing of his own personal experiences made this day unique and way beyond what we expected. Carlos was on time, the car was clean and his driving is superb. Carlos also took photos of us when we weren't looking and later sent them via WhatsApp to give us even more memories which was incredibly kind. He also sent us links to other information about the city and Pablo Escobar and shared historical photos as well. Can't recommend Carlos highly enough!

We only had a day in Medellin and decided what better way to spend it than a private tour of Pablo Escobar's spots with an ex cop! Carlos was great and extremely friendly! He told us about his life during the drug war in Colombia. How interesting to hear about it from someone who was so involved and lost many of his cop friends during the time. Highly recommend the tour!

Dear Yevgeniya, Thanks a lot for your comment, it is quite valuable for us. So good to hear you highly recommend us since we are the only company who offers an authentic tour with someone who was really involved in those dark days by losing so many cop friends. We´ll be glad to see you again soon, please keep us posted. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

Carlos was extremely helpful, his stories of being in the police force are almost more interesting than the Pablo facts. He was very engaging and seemed to be a bit of a local legend, high fiveing and chatting to most of the locals. I initially thought the tour was a bit pricey but at the end felt it was worth every penny. A must do in Medellin!

What an experience! You could discover many stories about Medellin and its life under the Escobar dominate. Carlos is the best guide that I ever heard in my life. He's a wonderful storytelling: you can see in his eyes all that he could tell about that sad Medellin period. He was a great policeman and he lived many sad stories but he's proud to tell us that cruel stories. Greatest experience in Medellin!
