Great tour, would definitely recommend when visiting Medellin. Our guide, Dio, expertly told the history of the city with deep knowledge and authenticity and made it enjoyable and fun.
Carolina is a great guide. I really enjoyed the fact that she provided both sides of each story (good side and bad side), a good example is how I people in Colombia see Pablo Escobar. She made sure we were all safe and we didn't give any Papayas especially in the city centre. She also gave us great context about the streets and culture and made sure we found safe ways to get back home. She is excellent and has a very good vibe.
David gave use a good understanding of history of Medellín.
This tour is an absolute must for knowing the history of the Paisa people of Medellin and how they have bounced back from the violence of the 70s and 80s. The amazing public transport, public art and the transformation of the downtown area to make it more accessible and safe , were an eye opener. And our guide Herman was a great storyteller. Highly recommend this tour
