Highlight of our time in Medellín. Daniel was knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter! He was kind and patient with our kids and shared insightful and personal insight.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're honored to have been the highlight of your time in Medellín. Daniel is truly passionate about what he does, and we're glad his knowledge, patience, and personal touch made the experience special for the whole family. We hope to welcome you back someday for more memorable moments!
My private guide, Daniel, picked me up exactly on time, drove to Communa 13, told me innumerable facts re history, culture, guided me extensively thru the district, pointed out salient highlights, accompanied me to cable, took me back to hotel. A very wise courteous guide, valuable heartfelt enlightening experience.
Thanks a lot Michael, it was a pleasure having a traveler like you guys, willing to learn, talk, exchange and have fun. Feel free to reach out anytime
This tour was awesome, and a great way to start off our trip. Our guide was Andres, and he was amazing. He is so knowledgeable about the area and we learned so much about the history of Medellin. The transformation is truly inspiring, and we came away with a much deeper appreciation of the area. We were also glad to have a private tour, since the area gets quite busy, and it was much easier to navigate with only three people instead of in a bigger group. I would highly recommend booking this tour!
Thanks a lor Ona, we are glad you enjoyed the tour and learned a lot, that is our premise: history, flexibility and to have fun while exploring the city. You are always welcome in our city!
Our guide César was amazing and exceeded our expectations!!! He is so knowledgeable about the history of Colombia, Medellin and Comuna 13. He was also able to customize our tour and answer all our questions. We all loved the tour so much!
Thanks a lot Meg, for taking the time to write this message. The purpose of the tour is to be flexible and tailor everything to your needs. Regards
A truly insightful tour and Daniel was such a passionate guide and the perfect person to lead you through this incredible example of a resilient community.
Greetings Sal, thank you for supporting our work, we are passionate about what we do and we always give more, doing everything we can to help you.
Tour guide was excellent. He shared in depth knowledge about Comuna 13. Great experience. Must go when visiting Medellin
Thanks Priya for helping us gain exposure and ranking, we are fully committed to customer service and the best experiences.
Danny was a wonderful tour guide. We are a family of four and we all loved spending the day with him. His English is amazing and he beautifully explained medellin’s complicated history. He emailed immediately upon making the reservation and promptly picked us up at 9am. He shared his own experiences from his childhood as well as the current situation in Medellín. It was fun exploring Comuna 13, the graffiti, dancing and music was exciting. Danny also helped us make tickets for the Independente Futbol game which was so helpful.
Thanks a lot for trusting us!
Wonderful experience with someone who really knows the history and culture of the area. Daniel was so respectful of the culture and community too, it was just a great day. Highly recommend.
Thanks a lot Angela, we are glad you liked the tour. We are at your disposal next time. Regards
Danny was generous with his time. He was very engaging and his English is excellent. Danny did not share history with depth. Very disappointed with the lack of detail. Wanted to sit, have coffee, but we left with little knowledge and understanding of this rich history.
Hello Mrs. Jill, thanks for your message, we are sorry the tour didn't meet your expectations. You state that we lacked some detail and history, let us say that we covered the history from the very beginning: the settlement process, the civil conflict of the guerrillas and paramilitaries, the process by which the neighborhood changed urban and socially, from the military takeovers to the arrival of public policies, transportation system and the graffiti as a means of expression, what exactly did we miss?, this is a tour stipulated for 3.5 to 4 hours, we took over 5 hours with you, you should have booked a full-day tour then. Let’s recap: 1. You showed up 20 minutes late because you were changing clothes, it is fine, we have been late too. 2. We sat down by the football field to give you an introduction and after 10 minutes, you said you didn't feel comfortable there (because of the people and dogs around), but this is a neighborhood, we cannot tell the residents to leave. We picked the least frequented spot there, anyways the guide cooperated and kept going, and every time the guide asked if you had any questions, not only did you not say anything but you told your husband to "let the guide do his job" when he asked a question (the guide was talking by the first mural, remember?), the tour turned hostile. Things happen, we understand... 3. You constantly argued with your husband along the way, the guide remained respectful, patient, and doing his job (while you were not listening) 4. We walked you to a local marketplace (not included in the tour) because the neighborhood was busier than usual (due to the city festival and high season) after refusing to take a break/sit at the café because the place was noisy, which is true, but it was YOUR choice, not his. You stating the opposite is ill-intentioned and inaccurate. 5. When we were finishing the tour and sharing with you some details, you interrupted the guide, once again, requesting to buy a hat ASAP. That took at least 20 minutes. Bottom-line: we respect your point of view, but we believe you are the one who didn't allow the guide to share his knowledge, he conveyed his information even when you were cutting off and prompting him to leave, you even wrote that the guide was generous with his time (the tour took over 5 hours!) and also that you left without sitting nor drinking café? that is not consistent, and you can read the rest of the reviews, everybody highlights how we take it easy with the times, never rushing up people. You are the one who is not up to viator and our standards, the least we expect from a visitor is to listen, be willing to learn, and be respectful, we were within our right to cancel the tour for not letting us do the tour as we had planned, however, we were considerate, patient and adapted to you. Every time your husband tried to ask something, you cut him off too. We all have bad days at work, and this was definitely not one of those, we have been doing these tour for 7 years, the guide is a professional tour guide and even your partner congratulated and tipped him, not to mention he invited him to have lunch too... thanks for your feedback, we'll work on finding a quieter place in the neighborhood during peak season. All the best to you...
The overall tour of Comuna 13 was excellent!! I learned so much! Daniel by far has to be THE BEST tour guide I have ever had! He was very knowledgeable and personable. He took his time to explain the history in a way that was very easy to understand. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!
Thank you! It's peak season and this is one of the reviews that lifts our mood and energy. If there is anything else we can help you with, just let us know. Regards
