About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- sergiogR5291ZS0 contributionsAmazing tour great experience with StevenWe had the most incredible tour of Guatapé and Comuna 13 with Steven! Words cannot describe how fantastic the entire experience was. Thanks to Steven's incredible explanations and the delicious food we sampled along the way, we truly felt immersed in the local culture. I can't praise Steven enough for the unforgettable experience he provided us.Written August 15, 2024
- J9549VRkevino0 contributionsExperience of Lifetime with LetsColombia 🙌🏼🇨🇴This is my second time choosing LetsColombia to show the beauty of Colombia to my Family and loved ones abroad. Just when I thought Steven couldn’t top the first experience I had, he surpassed my expectations once again. From picking us up on time, making us feel like family, explaining things in both english & Spanish to making sure we were comfortable and never hungry 😂 a truly beautiful time and a ton of fun. In two days we did the ATV Experience, Coffee Experience and the tour of Comuna 13. We made memories that we’ll remember forever and I will surely be back to complete the remaining experiences LetsColombia offers! 100% recommended by me and I promise they won’t disappoint 🙌🏼🇨🇴Written August 10, 2024
- migueloB9865PY0 contributionsLet’s Colombia makes your trip to Medellin better!!!The experience was wonderful!!! Steven is very punctual, knowledgeable about the best places and activities in Medellin and its surroundings…Steven is patient, fun, bilingual, and makes sure you have a good time! Thank you ! My family and I have a great time 🫶🏽Written August 10, 2024
- E7786RXomara0 contributionsIf I could give letscolombia ten stars I would do it.Steven is just the perfect guide and friend. He worries about the well being of the group and a perfect service is his priority. Steven talked to us about history, gastronomy and ordinary life in Medellin. We were blessed to have Steven as our guide for four days in Medellin. I fully recommend him and will engage his services again if I visit Medellin. God bless Steven!Written August 7, 2024
- chrisrC7876MG0 contributionsAmazingWe did the Guatape tour with Steven and it was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Views were outstanding and an overall amazing experience. Will 100% recommend this and all of the other tours offered by LetsColombia. You will not be disappointed.Written August 7, 2024
- 55mar_aq0 contributionsFind a different Tour Guide, Let’s Colombia and Steven are not your best friends. Overpriced and FakeSteven is not your best friend, don’t let him fool you by him saying that. He just wants your money and will pretty much demand it. Expected me to pay for pictures that he took on my phone. After I paid for his transportation service he decided to get someone else to pick me and that person took me on a long detour missing my appointment and then told me I had to pay him because Steven never did. The guy is a con man. He seems friendly at first, but be aware he just wants to swindle money from your pockets. He claims to have these services but when called upon, he says his car isn’t allowed to go into the city, what type of tour guide can’t have his car come in the city, I’m not sure what the problem. Furthermore I had asked him to get me a Colombian delicacy, which wasn’t the best, and said you get better outside of the city, when we were out of the city he had got me the same thing and charged me double, what a rip off. I returned to Medellin again, and got referred to a different tour Guide named Nikolai, he’s the best tour guide in Medellin. Go to him instead, way better than Let’s Colombia.Written June 29, 2024
- gelanag0 contributionsAmazing experienceWe had an amazing experience from start to finish. Literally took us everywhere we wanted to go and showed us the best of Medellin has to offer. We definitely coming back soon and 100% will get in touch again. We highly recommend booking with @letscolombia. ATV tour was absolutely amazing with beautiful views. We also did a fruit tour and tasted the most delicious fruits. Anything and everything that you need or want you will find it here!!!Written April 3, 2024
- jackelpubs0 contributionsBeautiful, informative, and funThis coffee experience was such a great time. Alexandro picked us up and brought us back to Pablado. The time at the farm was great picking the beans, learning about the traditional processes and roasting, and then the different brewing methods. It was an amazing environment, a delicious traditional lunch with a beautiful view, and the dogs were adorable. We also got a peak at the sugarcane processing which was a bonus. Highly recommend.Written December 31, 2023
- cyfnadiner0 contributionsGreat experience! Look nowhere else!Best tour hands down! Had a great and personalized experience. Steven made sure we felt comfortable, it felt like hanging out with an old friend. We learned, we saw beautiful places and got to experience the real Colombia. I would definitely recommend to plan all Colombia trips with letscolombia.Written December 6, 2023
- madelineperez0 contributionsThe BEST Parcero!If you're looking for a reliable and trustworthy team to make your trip to Guatape unforgettable, look no further than **Let's Colombia**. I had the pleasure of being guided by Steven, and I can't emphasize enough how family-oriented and incredible the experience was. The tour of Guatape was a breathtaking adventure, and Steven's dedication to making it unique and family-friendly was truly exceptional. He knew exactly how to engage and entertain us, from the beginning to the end. It was more than just a tour; it was an experience that created beautiful memories. Steven didn't just act as a guide; he felt like a friend who was genuinely interested in making our trip special. His knowledge of the area, history, and culture added a layer of depth to the journey that I greatly appreciated. Let's Colombia, and especially Steven, made our trip a heartwarming and unforgettable experience. If you're looking for not just guides but friends who truly care about your family's experience, they are the ones you can trust. Thank you for making our trip to Guatape so special!Written October 23, 2023
- saycow0 contributionsBest tour guide around!Steven helped me with the whole trip, from airport pickup to excursions. Making it super easy to navigate through Colombia for my first time. Anything I needed he was able to help with. Thank you much for the help with everything. Highly recommended guys!Written September 19, 2023
- Typenn2230 contributionsBEST DECISION YOU WILL MAKE, DO IT!Steven is by far the BEST tour guide and friend you can make in Colombia. My experience and love for this country and burning desire to return were all thanks to this man and his amazing team. Lets Colombia is the gold standard for all tour guide and excursion in the business. He makes you feel very welcome, treats you like family, and goes above and beyond in everything he does. He personalized my trip and made it an experience I will never forget. I was introduced to him by way of a friend and my trip was extremely last minute and unplanned. He planned every step of my day and made it an experience I will never forget. From the minute he picked me up at my hotel till the day we said goodbye he treated me like family, and there is no price tag you can put on an experience like that. He takes the time to explain the rich culture and history this country has to offer and is at your every service and need. When it comes to hospitality I have never in my life experienced anything that comes close to what I had with Steven. I saw a side of Medellin through the eyes of the locals and no other tour guide can offer. He is extremely friendly, funny, respectful, his knowledge is unmatched and puts your experience as his number one priority. He has been in this business for over 10 years and has connections and a network that is unmatched. This is the man all other companies send their tour guides to be trained by, that's hoe good he is. The professionalism he carries in his work and his teams work will go above and beyond your expectations. Not to mention he is an artist when it comes to taking some of the most spectacular photos of you and your loved ones to remember your trip by. I met a friend I will always visit when I go back. You cannot go to Medellin or Cartagena without booking Steven, it is a must to truly experience this culture. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!Written February 14, 2023
- bentonj20160 contributionsAlways GreatSteven is the best tour guide in Medellin, by far! I've been coming to Medellin for the last 8 years and have been on many different tours, with many different tour guides. Steven is the best! He really shows you all of the things that other tour guides don't and the history that comes with it. He's always so accommodating and makes you feel like you're apart of the family. He knows all of the best places to eat, see, and be in Medellin! I've known Steven for the last 4 years and always try to make an opportunity to see him when I'm in town. I couldn't recommend him more, to anyone who is traveling to Medellin!Written February 13, 2023
- Coastal7581590 contributionsPARCEThe only way to see Medellin, Antoquia. I felt completely comfortable and safe in Steve and Natalia’s company. They started as guides but became fast friends. Hasta la proxima parce;)Written October 12, 2022
- scottlK8580KJ0 contributions5 stars all around!!!I booked @letscolombia a few months in advance as you should because they are very busy for good reason! I went to Colombia on a bit of a soul search. It wouldn't have been completed without the help of Steven and his wife. The tour Of Guatape and El Peñol were beyond my expectations. Everything we did was beyond my expectations actually. From the food stops to the knowledge of this beautiful country. I really feel like I made a lifelong friend with Steven and I will see him every time I return to Medellin. Besides my personal experience Steven is extremely passionate and driven about his career! If you want to see Colombia this is the only way to do it! I can't wait to see these 2 again!Written September 30, 2022

Another awesome tour by Steven and his company "LetsColombia Tours"!
There are so many interesting and fascinating tours in Medellin, I wish I can see them all, but it's all about time and money, of which I wish I had more of both!
On my second visit to Medellin, I toured the Roberto Escobar (PE brother) tour and the town that Pablo Escobar built. Both tours were very intriguing and informative. In addition, I found both tours to be well worth my time/money, and it pays to have a great tour guide like Steven, that speaks and understands English well enough as he informed our tour group about the history of his country- Medellin.
I can't wait till my next visit to Medellin and another tour with LetsColombia Tours...

I had an unforgettable private tour of Comuna 13 in Medellin, led by a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The tour allowed us to appreciate stunning views, learn about the neighborhood's transformation, and enjoy ample time exploring each spot without feeling rushed. The colorful street art and murals, along with the sense of community resilience, made this experience truly special. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin.

The best part about traveling is meeting friends like Steven and his wife who are amazing company to be around. You can really feel the passion he has for his country and the reason why we could listen to Steven talk for hours! He helped us customize and plan our pefect day. We took our time exploring and learning about the city and Comuna 13. It was a care free experience, as 2 female travellers we felt safe. They showed us how vibrant the area has become after such a dark history and the views of Medellín was absolutely stunning. If i ever came back, would definitely call Let's Colombia to show me another part of Medellín. We highly recommend!

Comuna 13.... WHAT AMAZIN ART AND HISTORY.
A place where you will touch art, history and life. It is what remains after long nights, gray days, pain and war. A past that will never return because its people are committed to educating themselves, learning and clinging to life. Colombia has history and has Life, I invite you to know its history.
Please ask Steven to meet with Topo.

Steven and the team from Letscolombia always treat myself and my guests with top notch service. I’ve used his services multiple times and have no complains. This review is specifically regarding the Comuna 13 tour. Steven explained clearly the history of the tour and took amazing photos. He arranged car service and was on schedule. I look forward to the next adventure with Letscolombia.

Amazing learning experience that taught us about the unbelievable transformation of Comuna 13. Steven is a Medellín native and is a local resident that has seen the evolution first hand. He is kind and attentive and well respected in the community. We loved the graffiti, the history, the performers, the vendors, and the mango popsicles!
