Feliciano did a wonderful job as our tour guide. We learned a lot of history about Medellín and he was very knowledgeable. He was also funny and made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommend him as your guide!!!
Mr. Oscar Escobar Was very helpful, clear and accurate during the tour. He explain everything into detail the good and the bad things of the city. It accentuated how special, loving and progressive are the people of Medellin.
My husband and I did a private Medellín city tour with Feliciano on Christmas Day and it was fantastic. He tailored the tour to our requests and answered so many questions we had about Colombian life and history. He was punctual, courteous, professional, obviously very well educated, and his English is superb. Highly recommend a tour with him.
Great way to get to know the wonderful city of Medellin and some of the most relevant landmarks. Our tour guide Feliciano was very good and friendly.
Feliciano was absolutely incredible! From start to finish he was so informative, inclusive and thorough as a guide. Really showing us around the city and providing a deep dive into the history of Medellin. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! He’s attention to detail and vast knowledge really add to the experience. Please take this tour and ask for Feliciano!
Feliciano was an excellent guide! He helped me understand the true meaning of being “Paisa,” along the culture and people that built Medellin. He took some photos for me and let me take my time. If I wanted to linger at a certain place for photos, or if I wanted to ask for more information, he was happy to oblige. He answered all my questions and took me many places in the city. I felt I was able to see a lot of Medellin highlights in one day, and it wasn’t too long or tiresome like some 12 hour tours are. This tour was around 5 hours and was a perfect introduction that is the beautiful city of Medellin. Gracias, Feliciano y Medellin de Cerca tours!
Amazing! Hands down the best city tour in Medellin! I have been in 4 different city tours now with different friends and different companies and this was easily the best one out there! First of all, it’s the only one where you get a book off ALL the spots you could potentially visit (I say potentially because our guide Fabian Escobar let us prioritize spots re REALLY wanted to see or nix certain spots we didn’t really care for!), Our guide was not just knowledgeable of Medellin but local and world history which made the tour worth every second! Occasionally we would ask to stop and try a local street food or vendor and Fabian would just adjust the tour to the area or closest landmark we could see! The man is amazing! Not a second went by that I didn’t feel like I wasn’t learning something! Not to mention he always offered to take pictures for us and made sure we all got to see the things we really wanted to see! The search is over! I not only highly recommend this tour but will be doing it again myself!
Wow! Just wow! I was not expecting such an amazing tour! Our guide was Feliciano Escobar! Ask for him if you need an English guide! He was so good! He knew the history and significance of every site, every location and every person in the tour! He even incorporated the book into the tour! He is also an amazing photographer and more than willing so take pictures for you and your friends or family! Oh and he customized the tour to what we wanted to see! I loved it!
Such a great experience! Feliciano was very knowledgeable and hands-on with teaching us the culture and history of the city! He even facilitated great photo ops so we could keep these memories forever.
Amazing! So informational! Our guide was Feliciano Escobar and he was spectacular! He spoke Spanish and English! He customized the tour to prioritize everyone’s interests and periodically asked us if we needed anything! My favorite part were the statues and architecture in the downtown area! They were amazing on their own but Feliciano made the experience unforgettable by provided historical knowledge about every significant site! 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Excellent, we enjoyed the tour, beautiful places, the people, the food and the tour. We recommend this great experience
Our group initially only booked with Feleciano for the Comuna 13 tour, but he did such a great job that we booked him on the spot for a private Guatape tour the next day, and then for an airport transfer. He was kind, funny, patient with our group and so well informed. Definitely recommend!
Fantastic tour, the guide was very professional, knowledgeable, available and attentive to every detail. The circuit was very interesting, allowed a knowledge of the city of Medellín, the main sights and its people. I will recommend to my friends and family
Excellent experience. The Mauritius guide is impeccable. Very knowledgeable, available, professional and friendly.
Our guide, Mr. Oscar Escobar was undoubtedly the best guide we had on the different tours we did in Colombia. You can see his taste for his work, his knowledge and love in explaining and giving a good tour. Thank you so much for everything!
Nice experience! The very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Several places are known in a short time; cable car, commune 13, the city center with some sculptures of Botero.
Luisさんのガイドは素晴らしく、全ての質問に答えてくれました。最高のガイドでした。 彼のようなガイドは今までいませんでした。ありがとうございました。次回も彼に頼みたいです。 外国人の私にも分かりやすく話してくれました。

Super attention just like the tour! Very attentive in everything and dedicated in the information it gives you! Beautiful everything!!
Excellent service and attention from Mr. Oscar Escobar. Quite a knowledge of the history of Medellin: uses and customs.
Very good experience. Mr. Oscar very knowledgeable about the history and origins of Medellin. Mr. Feliciano (author of the book) joined the visit
Excellent Pablo Escobar Tour with Feliciano. Very attentive and friendly, it provides excellent information about the history of Medellin and Pablo Escobar!
The very friendly guide took pictures and explained excellently well the places we visited ,explanation excellent in the initiation of medellin
Super interesting and highly recommended. We already know Pablo Escobar better. Essential to understand the history of Medellin.
A tour that the whole family liked, you know and enjoy everything, in my review the fact that there are so many people in street situations in such important and beautiful places, detracts from many points of the experience, hopefully the authorities can correct this part.
Excellent tour, good experience from the transport that took us to the tour site, going through an excellent story narrated by a very good guide
A good experience, know more about the history of this commune that is so well known nationally, see the other side of the coin
Excellent guides, very reliable, very punctual and respectful people, recommended 100%, plus lots of information about the area
Excellent tourist guide, landscape tours, food, drinks for all types of tastes. The guide with good historical experience for explanation, good respect and dedication.
Very good service, the guide gave a very good explanation of all the places we visited, very good places, very good food, very respectful the entire way
I didn't like the tour at first, I knew that the neighborhoods were very ugly and for my taste they were the poorest in the city, I would have liked to see the most beautiful parts of the city and with more quality! The guide had excellent service
