Wonderful, interesting walking tour of downtown Medellin. Achira was an outstanding guide, she told us so much information about Medellin’s history from the perspective of someone who grew up here, as well as Medellin’s hopeful future. Thank you so much!
Achira gave us a lovely tour of the Center, gave us some deep historical insights and also helped greatly in answering some questions we had regarding any topic you can think of!
