Extremely informative tour and learnt a lot!

This was really great and informative tour. For someone with very limited knowledge of Medellín’s history, I learnt a lot and it was extremely interesting. I would recommend to anyone in Medellin to take this tour!

Super interesting tour

The tour was incredibly informative. Alejandro told us a lot about the history of the conflict. He was able to answer all of our questions. The places we visited were not very interesting to look at, but the story behind them made it definitely worth the time.
