5.00My husband and I did a private Medellín city tour with Feliciano on Christmas Day and it was fantastic. He tailored the tour to our requests and answered so many questions we had about Colombian life and history. He was punctual, courteous, professional, obviously very well educated, and his English is superb. Highly recommend a tour with him.
