It was super nice to explore the city center of Medellin and get a first taste of this vibrant city with Jhoan as our guide. He shared a lot of stories and history about the city and Colombia in general. He really custom tailered the experience for our benefit. Would highly recommend Jhoan!

Great insights into comuna 13
The first meeting with Jhoan was very pleasant. Jhoan knows Medellin like the back of his hand. He has a lot to say about culture, society, history and politics. I really enjoyed the tour of comuna 13 with him. It was a relaxed ride with a cable car (upfront of comuna 13 tour) and a walk. Jhoan was able to take care about some extra wishes where to go, to eat, to see....It was a great day.

Off the Beaten Path in C13
We were so grateful to have Jhoan show us around Communa 13. He did a great job of explaining how C13 came to be, the violent past and the present. We loved the stories behind the street murals and were thankful to go beyond the tourist zone. Highly recommend Jhoan for any tour.
