Not a Good Experience
The information was interesting. However it was overshadowed by our tour guide who was very unfriendly. He gave the factual information like he was reading a script. He really acted like he did not want to be there. His driving was atrocious. The car was very uncomfortable. As a tall person it was very difficult sitting in the back seat for such a long period of time. He offered no conversation as we drove through the unfamiliar parts of the city. I would have never booked this tour with someone who didn’t want to be there.

Amazing in depth tour with City Vibes !! 10 out of 10
Our experience with City Vibes was exceptional. We were so impressed with their service that we booked 3 additional tours with them. Our guide Carlos was absolutely wonderful. As a Medellin local he is extremely knowledgeable about everything Medellín and Colombia. He takes immense pride in his company, his communication was always prompt and efficient. His suggestions and recommendations were always very much appreciated. I highly recommend City Vibes. Book and you will not be disappointed. We did a total of four tours with City Vibes and each one was perfect.

Jaime was great!
Jaime was so knowledgeable. We had such a great time learning about Pablo Escobar the good and the bad. We went to his tomb and neighborhood and it was so surreal. Also went to where he was killed and a memorial for the victims of his attacks. We also rode a cable car which had great views of Medellin. Would highly recommend!

It was worth every peso!
Our guide Andres was mega nice and authentic. Despite his young age of perhaps 32, he had a very profound knowledge of the history of Medillin and Colombia. He could answer all the questions superbly. He also gave us many impressions about the life and culture of Colombia off the beaten track
