"Jhoan was a great guide! He is friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. He shared a local perspective, and the tour was relaxed, informative and enjoyable! Highly recommended."
"My family of 5 really enjoyed our tour with Joan. Very insightful and accommodated our tour path requests and questions. Top notch tour, do not hesitate!!!! "
"Jhoan was a wonderful guide for my son and I in Medellín! He takes his local knowledge and weaves it into interesting and memorable stories. We enjoyed the tour options he offered depending on the interest of the group. Thanks for everything!"
"Jhoan is proud of his city, proud of his roots, and proud of his profession - not only as a wonderful, warm and incredibly knowledgeable guide that will make you feel right at home, but as somebody committed to sharing the remarkable and complex history and the rich and resilient culture of his country. Jhoan will provide you with all the insights and understanding that only outstanding guides really do. And you’ll enjoy every minute of your time with him. "
"Jhoan was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable about the area. He is born and raised in Medellin and draws much of his experience living through the turbulent years as he explains the history of Comuna 13 through art. The Comuna itself has transformed into a very touristy area, lined with sidewalk sellers. The area is unlike any place I’ve seen before and worth the time to explore. "

A wonderful day
"Jhoan expertly led us through this colorful, amazing village. I felt like I saw everything I had come to see and more. He was patient and never rushed us. "
"We are a group of 9 (8 Canadians and 1 Amurican), and Jhoan was very good, adjusting the tour (we added the tram) and answering all our questions.
He has a very interesting background and was kind enough to share that with us.
When in Medellin, be sure to go with Jhoan!
Ps: his dinner recommendation was a 10/10 (Berracas de la 13)!"
