About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Adventure5792350 contributionsStunning vistas and a special dayGreat 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!Written October 1, 2024
- Z8035UDmarkm0 contributionsAndres Gonzales - the best Pablo Escobar tour guideWe 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!.Written August 23, 2024
- ErickD941140 contributionsThe best tour I've ever been on!John was the BEST tour guide I've ever had! I've never had a tour guide take such care to accommodate me. HIGHLY recommendWritten July 31, 2024
- ThomasCopeland0 contributionsBeautiful scenes at every turnGreat time and very scenic. The quaint town of Guatape was a joy to walk. At every corner there was something to photograph.Written June 29, 2024
- MaryLynn D0 contributionsTake this tour with CarlosCarlos 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😜Written June 19, 2024
- OnAir8017040 contributionsWorth 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!Written June 14, 2024
- Arya G0 contributionsAmazing Transformation of Previously Dangerous AreaVery 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.Written May 24, 2024
- eshalp20170 contributionsGreat tour and guide!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!Written April 18, 2024
- jennamR1280OO0 contributionsAmazing tour guideOut 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.Written March 23, 2024

- sakosaer0 contributionsHighly Recommend Great way to see MedellinIt 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 guysWritten January 31, 2024
- ingrid67000 contributionsGreat experience, must do in MedellinThis 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!Written January 13, 2024
- karinhV5753WF0 contributionsAmazing tour with John!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!Written January 11, 2024
- Norma G0 contributionsStrong 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.Written January 1, 2024
- Amaya A0 contributionsMuch better with a guideWe 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!Written December 9, 2023

This tour was exactly what we were looking for. Our tour guide Gustavo was amazing. He came to pick us up on time, the communication was great and he was professional. It rained at some point but he got multiple umbrellas ready and gave it to us, he also parked in convenient places.
He is very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was interesting and engaging. This tour worth the money you pay for, for us it was important to have easy transportation and have flexible time to stroll around without stressing about time and following an agenda. If I ever come back to Medellin, I would use this company again and for sure ask for Gustavo to be our guide.

We engaged Medellin Travels for two different tours whilst in Medellin - Pablo Escobar, Comuna 13, Pueblito Paisa along with a day tour to The Great Rock of El Pañol and Guatape. What great tours they were! Our guides Carlos, on the first day, and Sara on the second day, were absolutely brilliant with their passion and knowledge of the history and areas we visited. Perfect english which we could follow more intensely and appreciate. Their professionalism was a delight to be part of.
Thank you Medellin Travels and I highly recommend everyone use your service whilst visiting Medellin.
