Our tour with Daniel was fab! He is super knowledgable (about anything in Colombia) and gave us the perfect amount of information at each stop. He also has a great sense of humour which made the day more enjoyable! Would highly recommend for a day in Medellin.

The tour was interesting and we learned information about Escobar that we did not know. The guide did an excellent job of giving us information and always checked with us to make sure we understood what he was saying.
