David was a great guide who didn't look at the clock and showed us everything we wanted to see. You could ask him anything. He also speaks perfect English. We couldn't imagine a better guide.
We would choose this guide again and again!

The tour was a lot of driving from location to location and less walking around than we anticipated, but Daniel was absolutely amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and excited to share all of his anecdotal stories. Daniels clear passion for the subject and hearing it from a local made a day full of information fun and easy to understand.

First with the positive, the tour was well organised. I accidentally booked the wrong date so I called the number and spoke to a nice guy who without any fuss changed the date for me. On getting to the meeting point the tour guide messaged me in case I couldn’t find it.
However, the reason I booked this tour specifically is because I wanted to see La Cathedral, and when I asked the tour guide he told me we’re not going there because it’s closed. I really felt this should have been communicated before we booked the tour because on the “what to expect” description it is included.
Other than that the tour just included Escobar’s grave and Comuna 13. There’s other Communa 13 tours which are much better, more thorough and led by people who grew up there. I was quite disappointed.

This is a great company to hire if you would like to learn about the history of Medellin and Columbia in general. My guide Daniel was incredible and very easy to have conversations with. I felt safe, entertained, and I wish the tour was longer. Great job guys!!

This is a really cool, visually & historically interesting tour; after 2 days of physically grueling tours, this one was more easygoing but no less captivating. We made several stops to the advertised points of interest & our guide was very informative.

The Commune was before 2002, a place of terror since anyone who went there was either attacked, robbed or robbed, kidnapped, did whatever they wanted, not even the police could enter there, it was a factory and drug sales... a totally feared neighborhood, until they sent police troops etc etc to put control, they did a cleanup, many good and bad people died, this lasted about 4 years and look how they managed it... by virtue of that the inhabitants who were left there looked for another way to live with another pattern of life: music, crafts, creams, they made caps, graffiti, etc.
Then the government with aid
International built escalators for them (they say the first outdoors) since they felt sorry for the elderly and disabled who lived in the place so they could move around.
Their resilient story is beautiful, it is a pleasure to hear them sing, rap, see them painting etc etc.
