2nd time in Colombia, did not disappoint
This was our second time visiting Medellín. On our first trip, we did a private tour of Comuna 13, a cable car ride, and learned about Pablo Escobar. This tour was different and excellent because we explored another cable line and visited areas we hadn’t seen before.
Our guide, Andres, was fantastic. His English is very good, his car was comfortable, and he made us feel at ease while exploring new areas of the city. At the end of the tour, he also provided great restaurant recommendations when I asked. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this tour and Andres as a guide.
Operator response

Terrific tour! Recommend 100%
Our tour with John was simply incredible!! His English is fantastic. He was so passionate to share the history of Colombia & specifically Medellin. He grew up here & knows the history first hand.
