Luis was truly the highlight of our trip! From start to finish, his warmth, energy, and genuine passion made every moment unforgettable. He went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience, and his knowledge and enthusiasm brought everything to life. We can’t recommend him enough — if you get the chance to tour with Luis, do it!

We had the pleasure of visiting Medellin with Luis. We loved our visit to Communa 13, it knows very well the city and the history of Colombia in general which makes the tour rich in color and allows us to see all facets of the city. He is very punctual (even arrives early), very professional, a comfortable car (we were 5) and we felt very safe with him!

Mauricio did an excellent job with our tour of Comuna 13. He knows everyone and will introduce you to great food and explain the history of the neighborhood and the art. He also gave us great recommendations as we drove around Medellín. Luis provided great transportation for our large group to the airport. Everything was super easy, convenient, and a lot of fun. Definitely hire these guides, they are worth it.

Luis provided us with an excellent vision of the past and present about Medellin city. He is very good with communication skills (in English). He showed great interest in taking us around and certainly excelled. And lastly he has very unique techniques of demonstrating topics..I will keep that a surprise until you take his tour 😊. Thank you so much Luis!!

Went to Medellin to celebrate my friend birthday. We had a group of 5 and Luis picked us from the airport. We didn’t have any specific plans but Luis was amazing. He spoke perfect English and told us all the great things we can do in Medellin. From that point on he was the only tour guide we will call for all our stay in Medellin. If you really want to have a 5⭐️ experience i highly recommend Luis. He truly knows what he is doing and work with your schedule. I will recommend him to anyone that goes down to Medellin.

Luis was our tour guide for a colorful Comuna 13 tour in the afternoon. He is knowledgeable, great company and brought us to various ‘hidden’ places in the area which we never would have found without him. Luis arranged other tours and an apartment for us as well and was very responsive and helpful. He knows other professional tour guides as well and arranged for ‘colleagues’ to do tours/transfers for us on days he was too busy. Definitely recommend him and his ‘colleagues’ for tours in Medellin and the surrounding countryside!

I have traveled to Italy,France and other countries around the world and I can say Luis was the best tour guide I have ever had. His experience and knowledge will let you have a better understanding of the country of Colombia and the city of Medellin. He is very patient and will make accommodations throughout your tour. He speaks English very well and as a experience traveler i would recommend Luis to anyone that is looking for safety,factual knowledge of Medellin and Colombia and someone that will make your experience last with you for a lifetime.

I came from India with a lot of apprehensions and scary stories. Louis took me From doing a tour of Pablo Escobar with all impartial insights to visiting erstwhile most dangerous neighbourhood “ Communa13” . I felt super safe and had a brilliant time exploring whole of Medellin. Felt so much warmth and happiness from whoever I met. We did a trip to Guantape and went deep inside the coffee plantations. Louis knowledge, relationships with locals made us feel welcomed everywhere we went. A huge thumbs up for Louis. I would recommend him to everyone i know who plans to ever visit Medellin.

Luis took 3 of us on a tour of Medelin, covering the history of the city, Pablo Escobar and Comuna 13. The tour lasted about 4 hours. Luis is very knowledgeable and his English is excellent. He made the tour very interesting and informative. If you spend any time in Medelin I would definitely recommend booking Luis for a tour.
