INCREDIBLE TOUR TODAY! Our tour guide Luis Fernando was a well educated, experienced and nice tour guide. We learned a lot of the history of Medellin and everything that Netflix and Google don’t tell you. He lived the times of Pablo and he had direct contact with the Medellin Cartel so he knew all the details of the members of the cartel. We visited the neighborhood he constructed for poor people and it’s mural. The dates and Speech was accurate and it looks like he did not learn it from internet, he lived it. Overall, a 20/10 tour, the tour was private, flexible and the customer service we received could not be better, Highly recommended, thank you guys and Luis Fernando!

I had a perfect tour experiencia with José. José was super knowledeable, and very patient answering all my questions... The only improvement would be better clarity of the pickup location. Thank you, for the experiencia....

José was an great guide!! Very informative and entertaining and we had a great time traveling siding Medellin for our tour. At the end he dropped us off at a neighborhood with great food recommendations. Overall 10/10 tour.

After you watch Narcos on Netflix, this is a must do tour. I did not find any fault. Definitely recommended.

The tour was very informative and the people were all pleasant. I would recommend
