Short Tours in Medellin

We had a great and informative tour in the center of Medellin. We got really interesting background of the history of Columbia. Highly recommended

I was blown away with how knowledgeable and personable Jhoan was. Not only does he know seemingly everything about Medellin, it's such a pleasure to walk around and experience it with him. I found him/withlocals by accident and now, because of my experience, I will look to withlocals FIRST when I visit a new city. I will also encourage anyone who is visiting Medellin to grab time with Jhoan. BONUS POINTS - I was running a little late in my Uber. I shared my location with Jhoan and he was able to help us navigate through traffic remotely. Really, really outstanding!

We met Jhoan downtown and he provided a great tour. What stated as a two hour tour ended up being six hours. We covered all the important sites in El Centro and learned so much about the history of Colombia. We then proceeded to Comuna 13 where Jhoan grew up and had in depth details that only a local would know. The stories behind the art are a mix of sadness and hope, but mostly hope as the community is thriving. From there we took the cable cars for a great view of this beautiful city. As Americans we were impressed at how Medellin, and the entire country for that matter, have over come a troubled past to see a very bright future. There are many cities and politicians in our own nation that could learn much from the successes here. Overall a great tour and I would highly recommend Jhoan.

Jhoan is an incredibly articulate, knowledgeable and kind person. I am visiting Colombia alone and friends had recommended hiring a guide, this was my first experience. Jhoan recommend that we combined this tour with another I’d booked with him, Comuna 13, it was a perfect suggestion. He has refined the art of storytelling, integrating his knowledge of political, social and personal history. When you come to Medellin, Jhoan is the best person to learn about this city.
