"We just completed a tour with Jhoan in Medellín, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. He took us to places we never would have found on our own and gave us a deeper understanding of the city, its history, and its culture. The graffiti art we saw was incredible, and Jhoan’s explanations made it even more meaningful. He’s knowledgeable, passionate, and made the experience feel authentic rather than touristy. Highly recommend touring with him if you want to really see Medellín."
"We had the best time with Jhoan on our Camuna 13 tour. Jhoan is an excellent communicator and related well with everyone in our group especially my 90 year old mother. We learned so much history about the region and the people. All questions were welcomed and answered extremely intelligently. We felt like Jhoan was part of our family immediately. Don't hesitate to book a tour you will not be disappointed. If you're looking for a professional, down to earth and knowledgeable tour guide who is just fun to hang out with, Jhoan is your man and best choice. Thank you WithLocals Tours. "

Outstanding tour guide
"Our tour was an unforgettable introduction to Medellín. Jhoan was not only kind and patient, but exceptionally knowledgeable. He guided us through the city’s highlights with clarity and depth, offering a thoughtful perspective on Colombia’s complex history—especially the last 50 years.
We explored stunning architecture, learned about the remarkable development of the Medellín Metro, and never once felt rushed. Jhoan’s relaxed pace and warm personality made the experience both engaging and comfortable.
Even after the tour ended, he went above and beyond: he personally walked us to an excellent restaurant he recommended and shared fantastic suggestions for what to see and do during the rest of our stay.
Jhoan is the kind of guide who elevates a trip from memorable to truly exceptional. Highly recommended!"
"I choose the food tour Medellin, Jhoan showed me some really tasty snacks and we talked a lot about the history of Medellin and Colombia in generall. Such an amazing tour, highly recommended🫶🏼"

Excellent afternoon with Jhoan!
"My partner and I had a great afternoon with Jhoan, tasting various food and drinks in downtown Medellin. Everything we tasted was really nice and it was good spending time in a local part of the city away from the more touristy parts.
Jhoan was incredibly knowledgeable about his city and provided lots of insight about Medellin's history, its culture and of course its food!
Highly recommended!"
"Visiting with Jhoan was such a memorable experience. Beyond the vibrant art, he shared powerful stories about the community’s difficult past and its remarkable transformation. Learning how the people of Comuna 13 turned struggle into resilience and creativity was truly moving. I really appreciated Jhoan’s kindness and the thoughtful conversations along the way - it felt less like a tour and more like spending time with a friend."
"Jhoan was fantastic and the tour was wonderful. The food was phenomenal, and we were very full by the end. He discussed history and interesting facts throughout the tour, which made the experience even better. He made changes to the itinerary since it was Sunday and many things were closed. He ensured we had a great experience. Highly recommend- you won’t regret booking with Jhoan! "

Great tour
"Really enjoyed the food tour of Medellín. Jhoan is a very nice guy and very knowledgeable about Medellín and it's history. He brought us around and we ate local foods until we couldn't eat anymore 😅"
"Jhoan was a great guide for Comuna 13. He grew up in the Comuna and is very knowledgeable about it's history and Columbia's history in general. This kind of tour is essential for a good experience of this area as you will not learn the meaning behind any of the graffiti and why it is so important if you do it on your own or as part of a big group. We couldn't recommend Jhoan highly enough."
