I had a 5-day experience here in Medellín and the best part was that I contacted Steven and everything went wonderfully, we ate everything, the tours were excellent and with quite complex weather, the communication was with a lot of respect and trust, we felt comfortable in all aspects, I highly recommend him, he is very punctual with the schedule and gives us options so that each experience is good. 200% recommended.
Excellent, the service, transfers, and honesty
Steven is hand down the best tour guide in Medellin. I've known him for over 10 years and call him everytime im back in Medellin! He knows everything there is to see and do while you're in town. And the best part is that he knows the history and culture to give you an education while hes showing everything to you. I've been to Communa 13 multiple times over the years, but learned so much today that no other guide has ever told me. He knows everybody in the neighborhood too, which helps to see things that no one else will be able to show you! We got to meet and paint graffiti with local artist, go shopping, and try all kinds of foods, fruits, and juices. I cant recommend him enough!
The communa 13 tour was amazing (or should I say CHIMBA). Steven is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Medellin and her people. Everywhere we went, he had a friend or a story to share. He even makes sure you get photos to commemorate the experience - something we often forget to do! We also felt completely safe the whole time. We will definitely do another tour on our next visit!
I had an amazing experience with this tour company. From the first contact they were very professional, friendly and organized. The booking process was easy and clear, and during the tour everything was perfectly coordinated. The guide was attentive, knowledgeable and made sure we all enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Rating: They care about every detail and providing quality Service. I would definitely recommend them and would choose them again for my next adventure.

We had the most incredible experience with our guide during our trip to Medellín and Guatapé! He didn’t just take us to the main attractions—he brought us to hidden gems, local spots, and gave us the kind of personalized, insider experience that you never get on big group tours. He was warm, knowledgeable, funny, and so thoughtful. Truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable time. This was hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Highly, highly recommend!
