"Jhoan is a super nice guide and knows his way around Medellin plus very knowledgeable in Colombian history. I really enjoyed walking the many stairs and sidewalks in Comuna13 with Jhoan. "
"Our tour with Jhoan in Comuna 13 was absolutely incredible! From the moment we met him, his passion for the community and its stories was infectious. Jhoan didn't just guide us through the streets; he shared pieces of his life, making the experience personal and heartfelt.
Learning about the community through Jhoan's eyes added a unique depth to the tour. We felt genuinely blessed and thankful for the opportunity to see Comuna 13 through such a knowledgeable and warm guide. If you're looking for more than just facts and figures but a genuine connection with the community, don't hesitate to book a tour with Jhoan – you won't be disappointed!"
