I had a really enjoyable time on the tour! The guide added a great local perspective and a personal touch, making it a memorable experience. However, I found out that two others in the group joined as part of a free tour, while I paid for the same experience, which felt a bit unfair.

I liked the mix of culture and history. For example, we had a tasting of fruit at a market and ended the tour with a tasting of great Colombian coffee. The tour guide also had a deep understanding of Colombian history.

Brayan doesn't warn you enough... DON'T EAT beforehand;)! We went hungry and still couldn't get through half of the local goodies. This is a great local walking tour. The group was kept nice and small (4 of us) so great to chat with some other travellers. Brayan shares some local inside knowledge, where to go go for best views, good drinks and proper local tips. This is the only way to experience Medillin from the inside out. I blame all my weight gain on this guy..but hey no one weighs your coffin!. Highly recommend this tour and more importantly any other tour you get Brayan on..this lad is in the know.
