Traveler reviews
Hiking
Guide was very knowledgeable and showed where the best views were along the way
Touring the natural beauty of Medellin.
Travelled via metro and cable car to the top of a mountain to hike Arvi Park. The scenery was beautiful. The tour guide knew the area well and was very concerned for our well being. Next stop was the botanical garden. This time of year, there were not a lot of flowers in bloom, but they were still beautiful. We heard and saw 2 parrots and 2 iguanas.
A welcome balm after a long flight from Canada.
We wanted some fresh air, exercise and an introduction to Medellin on arrival early in the morning after 22 hours of travel from Canada. This tour fit the bill. Our guide Andres was a friendly and clear communicator, and he managed the winding roads and heavy traffic with ease. Both the Botanical Gardens and Arvi Park were very busy as it was Sunday, but the stroll through the Gardens was still very relaxing and the view of the city from the Cable Car in the Park was incredible.
Wonderful time with Wilder at Arvi and the Botanical Garden
We had an excellent tour with Wilder. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive to our needs. We especially enjoyed seeing the river that runs through the park and the views from the metro cable (that takes you from Medellin to Arvi). Our conversations were rich in terms of exploring the ecosystems/sights of the parks as well as sharing personal experiences with the challenges and opportunities of life here and in our country. We had fun working on improving our Spanish and Wilder's English, and it was a great start to our time in Medellin.
So friendly and flexible; 100% personalized tour.
I can't say enough about how wonderful our day with Andrés was. He was so friendly, so helpful, so flexible with the needs of my mother and me. Can't recommend enough!
