We had a great tour getting to know the most interesting parts of the bustling city of Medellin. A huge thanks to our fantastic guide Daniel, who took great care of us and really impressed us with his knowledge about the history of this country and city. He definitely has a special talent as a storyteller ;) Absolute recommend this experience with Daniel to anyone visiting Medellin. Thanks again!

This is a fantastic tour made by our tour guide Joe. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the city both good and bad. He was so positive and wanted to make sure it was going to be a day to remember. We were shown parts of the city that we would not have gone on our own the transport was comfortable and any questions we had were answered professionally and we learned so much the food was great. Could not recommend enough.

This full day tour is super educational and fun. My tour guide David was extremely knowledgable in particular when it comes to the time of Pablo Escobar. We visited Commune 13, Escobar’s houses and memorial of his victims. David made the tour comfortable and interesting. His english is excellent. Would strongly recommend.

Our guide David gave us a great introduction to Medellin and all its neighborhoods. We had a very good tour and David spoke perfect English too. He wanted to show us more of the city but let us pick and choose where to go.

If its your first time in Medellin, I recommend a tour because its going to help you become acquainted with the city. The city is immense and a tour made it so much easier to experience it without becoming overwhelmed. After booking a tour, the best way to communicate with the Administration is via WhatsApp using the company number on the website. For security purposes, be sure to ask beforehand for your tour guides ID and license plate number of the car that will be picking you up. However, if you’re not bilingual and only speak English, make sure to ask for a tour guide who is proficient in conversational english. I suggest to be very insistent on this, because the quality of service you’re going to receive depends on this. Even if the tours say bilingual, not all guides speak it fluently, and the experience can soon turn unpleasant if you feel like you can’t communicate with your tour guide. My favorite tour guide was Julio, he greeted us enthusiastically, was very respectful, timely, extensively knowledgeable in history and city details, engaged excellently with us in fluid conversation in both English and Spanish all throughout the extent of the tour, made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend, and suggested which was the best form of transportation around the city so we weren’t sitting in traffic all day. I recommend anyone who books a tour with Medellin City Services, to ask personally for Julio Gomez.
