Very interesting tour, with respect for the residents of the district. By doing these tours you also support the local children. Part of the cost is used to support this community.

This was a great tour and Milena was a fantastic guide. She’s well-informed, clear and speaks excellent English. Above all, the tour gave us essential context and background information for understanding not only Medellin’s recent history – and the story of La Sierra – but also the history of the Colombian conflict.

Milena has created something really unique and special with this tour. As well as providing a very interesting angle on Medellin’s history, she was also very willing to answer questions on all kinds of topics about the city and Colombia. Definitely recommended for transport / urban design enthusiasts, and the views from the top of the valley are gorgeous. Proceeds go towards local charitable projects that we were able to visit during the tour. Thank you Milena and sorry it took a while to review!…

The neighborhood where the tour takes place brought back memories of living in Central Asia; how poverty seems to unite communities. Not all receive the financial assistance that Milena's tour provides. Interesting tour led by a dedicated, informative guide.
