I jokingly told Laura that the highlight of our tour is the Doña Consuelo cremas. Well, I want more of the cremas! I thought I can have it delivered via Rappi, but not to El Poblado, apparently. Haha! I have traveled all over the world and have seen versions of the Comuna 13 (Rio, Cape Town) but I have not had any cremas like the Doña Consuelo's mix, cheers to that! Thank you Laura for showing us your evolving city. We endorse this city tour whole heartedly. Hugs ~ Daisy and Donald

I was very impressed with Medellin & History Tour. Laura is an amazing guide. She is extremely knowledgeable of Medellin today and Medellin dark past. Laura was very energetic throughout the tour and was very accommodating. This is a walking tour with some use of Medellin modern public transit system ( trains and cable cars surprisingly clean and secure). I felt extremely safe throughout the tour. If your travels take you to Medellin, I highly recommend Laura! Texas-USA

Laura was an excellent guide. To walk, listen and take in her knowledge of the area, to learn about the history of Medellin and its transformation to what we see today was a real pleasure!

Laura is a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her home of Medellin. She is nicely willing to accommodate specific requests for the tour. We feel we have a much better understanding of the history and beauty of Medellin because of her tour. John

Spending a day with Laura was a great experience. Her love of Columbia and her passion for Medellin was contagious. Her command of English and knowledge of both history and present city is perfect. I highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to learn the real Medellin.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you Daryo! It was my pleasure to show you and Rosita the Medellin that I love.

I highly recommended Laura as your guide. She made the start of my journey in Colombia for the first time a great one. I specifically chose this tour for the history part of it because i like history a lot and Laura is super knowledgeable about Medellin's history. I appreciate her for having the patients to answer all my questions. I asked to be picked up from the airport which she did. My flight was delayed to Medellin but she waited patiently for me. I appreciate her for being there for me when i needed

One of the best tours I have had in south America. She explained to us about the history, social aspect, culture and the background of geopolitical changes of the Colombia in the past and the recent years.

Had a wonderful day with Laura, not only is she an excellent guide but she is great company too. We walked around many interesting parts of Medellin taking in history, popular parks and tourist hotspots. She knows the best places to sample local drinks and snacks plus the secret of the best ice cream in the spectacular Camuna 13. I can whole heartedly recommend Laura as a tour guide.

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thank you! It was my pleasure to show you around Medellin. I hope you keep enjoying the rest of your holidays!

Tour: #550416, Medellin, day and a half of exploration!, Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia    
Date: Feb 4/19

We spent a day and a half with Laura and could have easily spent more time with her. On the first day we walked, rode the bus, cable car, metro and taxi to see the highlights of Medellín. On day 2 we went to the place where Escobar had been imprisoned. There's nothing left of the old prison but Laura took us on a beautiful walk and we were able to see the city from a different perspective. Laura was energetic, knowledgeable, considerate and fluent in English. Definitely recommend!

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Phyllis, thank you for the kind words! You and the rest of the group were so fun, educated and interesting that it was really my pleasure to show you around Medellin. I hope you got to the US well and remember that you have a friend over here. Cheers
