A tremendous tour with lots of nature

5.00A tremendous tour with lots of nature. We climbed with the cable metro to Arvi Park, a wonderful park. You breathe fresh air and there's a lot of peace. We did the tour with our fantastic Hanner guide. He knows everything and he was very attentive to us. The Botanical Park is also very beautiful, with plants, flowers and some animals.
Very good eco-experience

Why does one need a passport to enter the garden?

1.00So disappointed not to be allowed in without my passport. The lady at the ticket office seemed to derive a great deal of pleasure in turning me away. The only blemish on an otherwise wonderful visit to Medellin.
Lovely trip

5.00Wonderful trip. The description should include more information though. The park is a hike. We had a lovely time. A very peaceful trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable. It would be nice if the tour included food or had an option to or even time to stop to just buy it on our own. Recommend bringing snacks.
Nice tour

5.00Amazing! My tour guide was Santiago, he was punctual, organised and knowledgeable. I really enjoyed amazing views, scenery and the walk. Santiago and I shared the same passion for plants, which was really appreciated. Very unexpected add-on was bird watching. Santiago spotted and pointed at some few absolutely stunning species.
No English speakers guides

2.00They ran out of tour guides that spoke English. So we had to use a very nice driver that didn’t speak English so we had no idea what was going on. He dropped us off at one location and said he would be back in 30 minutes. He came back in 45 minutes. That could have been a translation issue. There were three of us and the car was very tiny. The ride is very long so a larger car would have been better.
Highly recommend to explore the area

5.00We wanted a private tour to relax and enjoy the Parque Arvi and this didn’t disappoint. Our tour guide Sofi was so friendly and knowledgeable, even catering to what we wanted to learn-the history of the Botanical Garden and the culture around Parque Arvi. Would definitely recommend!
