Excellent City Tour of Medellin - This half-day tour was an excellent way to see Medellin. Among the highlights, the fruit tasting at the market was delicious, and viewing the city from the cable cars gave us a unique perspective and history. It was a comfortable amount of walking - not strenuous at all. Oscar was very knowledgeable, amenable, professional, and has a great personality. His English was also excellent. He is a fantastic tour guide. I would recommend this tour to anybody who would like to see milan outside the normal tours of Comuna13 and Guatapé.

THIS IS A MUST! - This was an incredible private tour experience. Oscar is extremely knowledgeable and even showed me some great local areas of communa 13 and a local fruit stand in the gentrifying Buenos Aires district. If you book this tour then you need request to book it with Oscar. I would and will be recommending this anyone traveling to Medellin who wants to get a very immersive, historic, and local perspective of Medellin.

Great Overview of the City - Our guide, Oscar was fun, friendly and informative. We covered a lot of ground on this tour. We would definitely recommend this to get acquainted with the city. One thing I would suggest is to spend a little less time on the museum and political history and tour more neighborhoods. That said, Oscar was a great guide.

Best tour company in Medellin - It was supposed to be a group tour but no one else booked for the day so it ended up just being me and my tour guide Julio . Julio was so professional , yet down to earth and it felt like a friend showing me around the city. I don’t speak Spanish but thankfully his English was perfect . I highly recommend this tour . I felt like I saw and experienced so much in a short amount of time. I tried exotic fruits at a local market, I took the tram, rode the cable car, visited the famous park with Boteros statues, saw famous buildings and landmarks downtown . I also visited the museum which really broadened my perspective and gave me a new found appreciation for the resilience of the people of Medellin . Everything was well planned and paced so it wasn’t too hectic . This tour is a must do.
