About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Michael A0 contributionsPablo Escobar and Comuna 13 tour with local guideWe had an awesome day with our local guide Daniel at the Pablo Escobar tour; Danielle explained the rich history of Medellin while giving us insights into today's city and it's bright future. This is a must see tour to anybody visiting this colorful, complicated city. Two thumbs up👍Written September 5, 2024
- angelok6810 contributionsA Memorable and Fun Trip!We really loved this day tour. Our tour guide, David, was awesome. He picked us up at the hotel early in the morning and we picked up some fresh coffee and pandebono and pan de yuca and started making the drive to Jardin. We had great conversation and the perfect musical soundtrack for the drive. We enjoyed the green scenic views of the mountains outside Medellin. Jardin is a cute town with colorful painted homes and clean streets to stroll down, we are glad we went. It's the perfect place to relax, have some fresh juice, and enjoy the ambiance. The cable car was a fun experience and the church in the central plaza is beautiful. After visiting Jardin we headed to the coffee finca (La Florida), which was also an impressive apiary, keeping many different species of bees (abejas). David made the experience so memorable, changing the vibes with classical music as we ascended a flower-lined dirt road up a dirt road to majestic views of mountain valleys lined with coffee and banana trees. The coffee experience started with some education and tasting, then we were off to pick beans. After picking beans, we learned how to process them for roasting and grinding. We loved the whole experience and left with a lot of honey and coffee to bring home. The lunch provided was really filling and delicious. I highly recommend this tour, it was one of the most fun days we had in our 2 week trip. Hanging out with David all day was like being with an old friend, hope we can meet again someday!Written September 1, 2024
- P3506SNsophiaw0 contributionsFun food tourFood tour with Luis Alberto was super fun. Got to try some traditional Colombian food and eat true meals. Come hungry and you get to learn a lot about different things about Colombia normally not covered in guidesWritten August 30, 2024
- acolombiana0 contributionsWorth the trip!Our tour guide, David, contacted us the day before, to confirm our pick up time, and was there the next day, as expected. He was an amazing driver and we had a great time talking with him and getting to know the area. We chose the Spanish tour, since we're fluent, but he spoke very good English, too!Written August 26, 2024
- amybI7764PE0 contributionsAmazing Tour!Don’t miss this tour! Fantastic visit to Guatape and El Penol. David, our guide, was the BEST! He planned out the day perfectly - helping us avoid crowds and maximizing our time in each location. He was very knowledgeable, providing us with in depth history of each location and resourceful, directing us to best spots for lunch and coffee - and his energy and passion made the day super fun! I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Medellin City Services and David for an amazing experience! !Written August 25, 2024
- amybI7764PE0 contributionsFantastic experience!The tour was amazing!

- Quest512669372310 contributionsDay trip to Santa Fe de Antioquia from MedellinWe booked this tour pretty last minute, and we are very happy that we did. The trip itself was fun, and it was made better by our tour guide/driver Luis Alberto. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only did he provided information about the town of Santa Fe, he also shared with us information about other areas of Colombia. He also helped us take a lot of pictures. The place we had lunch was beautiful, and the food was excellent (highly recommend the baby beef.) The last stop of the tour was the Puente de Occidente and it's definitely one of the highlight. Highly recommend this trip, definitely worth the time and money if you have an extra day at Medellin.Written August 24, 2024
- andreamD6376XW0 contributionsGreat tour!We did a private half day tour with Luis Alberto and had a great experience. We not only got to see El Centro and Comuna 13 but also stopped at different street food vendors along the way to sample local fruits and small bites. Luis Alberto was very knowledgeable and provided excellent historical information. Highly recommend this tour.Written August 24, 2024
- Pokey19700 contributionsDay trip to Santa Elena and flower farmMauricio was a great guide/companion for the day. We had good conversation and a side trip to get arepas and chorizo. It was a very nice day.Written August 8, 2024
- Rodolfo T0 contributionsTurn of eventsDaniel was our guide and he was great! On the day of our tour, both main roads were closed to Guatape, but Daniel was diligent on finding a way to the town. Many of the locals were unaware of the closure to the roads to Guatape. We took the back roads, a bit bumpy, but without Daniel's resourcefulness, we wouldn't have made it to Guatape. The tour itself was great and I would definitely go again myself and recommend!Written August 3, 2024

- C5413YYpaulc0 contributionsExcellent tour fantastic tour guideThis is a fantastic tour made by our tour guide Joe. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the city both good and bad. He was so positive and wanted to make sure it was going to be a day to remember. We were shown parts of the city that we would not have gone on our own the transport was comfortable and any questions we had were answered professionally and we learned so much the food was great. Could not recommend enough.Written July 24, 2024

Had a guided tour of a family house and saw his motorbikes, cars, the table he had his final meal at...awesome, amazing experience!! Will happily use again and highly recommend MCS for anything Escobar. Unbeatable! Brilliant communication from booking tour to doing tour. Cant rave them enough! Thank you!!!!!!

He was knowledgeable, spoke English (as he's lived a large part of his life in the US), knows just about everyone so people were happy to see him and us as we were touring sites. I can't say enough positive things! A really great tour from every aspect! Thank you Wilson!
