Pablo, yes, a narco but also a devout catholic and family man - Our guide Daniel was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and offered all sorts of information both related and unrelated to the tour. So friendly and so easy to talk to. I have been to Medellín several times and always avoided this tour because I kind of misunderstood what it might be about (glorifying drugs and violence) but I was unexpectedly and pleasantly surprised at how well-rounded and nuanced the tour information was and how much I enjoyed it, in no small part due to Daniel. Thank you

Daniel the GOAT - Daniel the greatest of all time. Compared to other tours we’ve had around the city (not by this company), Daniel’s passion and deep knowledge of the subject shone through. He was incredibly accommodating, enthusiastic and most importantly friendly. we felt like we could ask any question - none too silly. we came away having understood everything he explained.
thankyou for a great day!

Very recommended! - We went with them on a day trip in Medina and also on a day trip in Guatape. Both trips were professional, with very courteous and service-minded guides, and the price was very attractive relative to what was offered. Highly recommended!
