"Jhoan is truly an awesome guy & extremely knowledgeable in the history of Colombia & Comuna 13, the whole area is his childhood neighborhood he showed us some beautiful places and recommended a great restaurant for us to try nearby prior to our tour. all around it was a great time and we learned so much about that area it’s extremely important to have someone as knowledgeable as him on a tour with you otherwise you will miss out on so many stories and history that are all around you secretly that only the locals know. "
"The first meeting with Jhoan was very pleasant. Jhoan knows Medellin like the back of his hand. He has a lot to say about culture, society, history and politics. I really enjoyed the tour of comuna 13 with him. It was a relaxed ride with a cable car (upfront of comuna 13 tour) and a walk. Jhoan was able to take care about some extra wishes where to go, to eat, to see....It was a great day. "
"We were so grateful to have Jhoan show us around Communa 13. He did a great job of explaining how C13 came to be, the violent past and the present. We loved the stories behind the street murals and were thankful to go beyond the tourist zone. Highly recommend Jhoan for any tour. "
"Jhoan was the best. Great communication leading up to the tour. He was really knowledgable and explained what is a very complicated history in an easily digestible manner. He gave great recommendations. Would definitely recommend! "

"We booked two tours with Jhoan and had a great experience. He is knowledgeable, friendly, patient and an excellent tour guide. We had a great time and saw sights we would never had seen on our own. Jhoan has a lot of knowledge about Medellin and shares from personal experience. Highly recommend!"
"My family toured Comuna 13 with Jhoan. Jhoan was very responsive when communicating. We had no trouble meeting. Jhoan walked us through Comuna 13. He did an amazing job providing context by explaining the history that led Comuna 13 to be what it is today. Jhoan did a great job answering our questions. I would highly recommend booking with Jhoan."
"Jhoan was a great guide and told us about the history of the area and Colombia. He went at our pace and adapted the tour to meet our requirements. He was friendly and his English was great. We felt very safe with him and learnt so much about Colombian history. We would highly recommend a tour with Jhoan."
"I had a fantastic afternoon with Jhoan. I learned so much about the history of the neighborhood and its context within the country itself. The hours flew by. Jhoan is an excellent guide- highly recommended!"
