Publicado en Patrick OVerificada Unforgettable Oscar was the best tour guide ever. He made the day as fantastic as it was!! He was enthusiastic, flexible and passionate about his work.Publicado en annelie bVerificada Visita al pintoresco Guatapé y finca cafetera. Nos acompañó Julio, excelente guía: sin apuro, preciso en las explicaciones, haciendo un relato muy interesante y ameno de la historia. Lo que no sabía lo buscaba inmediatamente. Fuimos a Guatapé, precioso lugar con mucho encanto, y subimos al Peñol, hay unas vistas muy buenas. El recorrido por la finca cafetera y la experiencia de vivir en propias manos la compleja elaboración del café, estuvo muy bien. Imprescindible para el que visita Colombia. La explicación de Julio nos ayudó a entender la trama tan complicada de situaciones políticas y económicas pasadas y de la Colombia actual.Publicado en bspence98Verificada Great Way to Experience Medellin I really enjoyed the private city tour of Medellin with Oscar. We were able to see so much but it in no way felt rushed. I especially enjoyed our time in Communa 13 - what a fascinating place. Oscar is so knowledgeable about the city and its culture and he is really personable and fun. I had a great time!Definitely recommend booking this tour if you are visiting Medellin.Publicado en Marlene SanauVerificada The Pablo Escobar tour in Medellin The Pablo Escobar tour was amazing and such a highlight of my time in Medellín. Our guide Henry was fantastic—super friendly, easy to talk to, and full of great stories that made the history come alive. I really liked how he connected the past to the Medellín of today, which gave a much deeper understanding of the city. Learned so much, had a great time, and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting!Publicado en SílviaVerificada I loved it! I recommend! I really liked the walk through the 13th commune. We took a cable car, we went up the community and the guide Oscar was explaining everything with a lot of sympathy and patience. It was too worth it!Publicado en SílviaVerificada Super recommend! Very delicious! A delight of walking! We stayed around 4 hours in a “finca” of coffee listening about the different methods of making coffee and then we played to participate in the harvesting process. The owner's son is named Juan Pablo and is very friendly. We saw the machinery, walked through the farm (that 17 thousand feet of coffee) and at the end we bought a package of their brand. Simple and tasty! And the best part is that it's close to Medellin. I recommend! It's worth it! The guide Oscar is very nice, explains everything and was very attentive.Publicado en Kevon HVerificada Fantastic Tour Where You Actually Make Chocolate! This was probably the best chocolate experience I’ve done, even after having traveled to Europe. Most chocolate tours I’ve been on talk you through the process of making chocolate, then you are presented with a bunch of chocolates that you can buy. This tour was different in that you start in the actual field, picking some of the cocoa pods from the tree. Sandra, who makes the chocolate, takes you through every step of the process and you do most of the work! You pick the pods, dig out the seed s (you can eat the pulp around the seed and it’s actually pretty good!), roast them, peel the cocoa beans with a Sandra and her mother, then decide how much sugar to add to your chocolate. You’ll have to do the tour to know the rest of the process! Yuly was my guide for the day and took me out to the farm and she was fantastic to converse with and exchange information about our countries. Her outgoing personality made the tour so much better!Publicado en Jake TVerificada Amazing tour Oscar went absolutely above and beyond in every way possible. He was a fantastic guide with an incredible depth of knowledge. The fruit tasting at the end was deliciousPublicado en Martin IVerificada Eye-opening experience It was an excellent experience. So informative and very profound. I would recommend anyone to go. It’s a must do go activity for anyone visiting Medellin and yes it is 100 percent safe. No regrets!Publicado en Abbas AVerificada Great Tour Thanks Henry!! We had a great tour with Henry. We were able to see. Comuna 13 and walk the amazing neighborhood. Henry was able to tell us the history of the neighborhood and how it transformed from being under the rule of a drug lord and one of the most dangerous places in the world tour tourist Haven the transformation was amazing.We also stopped by Pablo Escobar's safe house and where he was captured as it was on the wayHenry was a great tour guide very flexible which was great because this was the last stop on our nine day trip to Colombia and we were already tired.
