If you delve into the history of Medellín, you will understand why phenomena such as economic prosperity, past violence, and subsequent pacification have occurred. Our agency uses the approach and techniques of journalism, so participating in our tours is an experience very close to making a report. For years we have studied and explored the city and all the information we have collected we will transmit to you in a super fun way. You will enjoy the most representative places of the city and listen to stories that help you understand its historical and cultural value.

Each traveler will receive a copy of "Medellín Up Close – Medellín de cerca", an artistic book created by our team, which was awarded by the Colombian Ministry of Culture. It is a practical book that you can carry without problems on the plane, since it only weighs 334 grams. It will be an excellent gift for yourself or your friends and family.

This tour includes lunch.

We had a great tour with Luis, watching and learning a lot about the history and current events of Medellin. He instructed us on the beautiful things but he also stood into reality and told us complex situations that officials would prefer to hide. It was pretty interesting.
The guide Feliciano and the driver Gustavo were excellent. I used a walker and I couldn't have climbed without your help. Ade

Commune 13 seemed to me a place full of life, color and hope. His story impacts, but even more his transformation. Walking through its streets is about how art and community have managed to turn pain into culture, resilience and pride. An experience I definitely recommend.

Excellent tour wirh very knowledgeable guide Feliciano who was very flexible abd gave us some extra time wheneve we needed it in our tour. He explained us in lots of details the touristic sites and could answer our questions. I preferred this tour because it was privately done obly for the two of us (boat tour was with a group but there is a private option if you require it). All in all a very very nice experience on our 2 day stay in Medellin!
