My wife and I hired Luis for a 5 hour tour of the city. We didn’t have any preconceived notions about what we should see so Luis designed an excellent balance of Escobar, city center art, parks, and communa 13. Highlights for us were the walking segments, riding the cable car, and hearing about Luis’s experiences growing up in the city (he was born and raised in Medellin). This tour was nice because Luis picked us up (and dropped us off) at our apartment. Luis speaks great English (he lived in New York for a few years), has a very comfortable, clean minivan, and is a wealth of information for anything you might want to know about the city.

A great city tour of Medellin. I love to hear about the history and culture. Luis was a great host. I would totally recommend to someone visiting to Medellín
Luis was extremely knowledgeable of the area, friendly and just a great time to be around. He spoke great English and was very flexible with our changing schedule. When I come back I will certainly be reaching out in hopes of having him help us around again.
Medellín was one of the best cities I have ever visited. Luis was an awesome tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the city and its history. Luis was fun to hang out with and a great conversationalist. We toured Pablo’s Escobar’s neighborhood, visited the memorial, and visited Communa 13 which is a must see. If you book any tour with Luis you will be in good hands.
Luis was an excellent tour guide! He gave us a detailed history of Medellin along with some pictures to help explain. The sites he took us to were amazing and we got to eat some amazing street food. He was easy to chat with as we drove around and walked around Comuna 13 which was amazing and had a great view of Medellin. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Luis was a fantastic tour guide. He has vast knowledge and explained the history of the city and answered all of our questions. He speaks English very well. The transportation was very comfortable. We all enjoyed the tour very much including my teenage kids.
Luis was very sweet. Very engaging, never rushed us. Spoke excellent English and English the tour was very complete. Really good overview.
Luis was so fun and informative! Looking forward to our next trip to book more tours. We saw the history of Pablo Escobar, historic buildings and District 13. Highly recommend!!
Luis was a great tour guide. Being a bilingual guide helped us so much that we used him on three seperate days. We visited Comuna 13, Guatape and Arvi park. As part of those days we went to visit a Pablo Escabar memorial to the victims, played tejo, visited several neighbourhoods, rode the metro and cable cars and ate at some of the restaurants recommended by Luis. Luis also transported us to the airport for a very early flight departure. As a resident of Medellin he was very knowledgable about the history of the city, both good and bad. Made our decision to return to Medellin very easy. Great guide, but more importantly a great guy. Thanks for the memories.
Luis is great. He knows all about the area and speaks perfect English. He's a cool guy too. Highly recommended.
Luis and his team were AMAZING in every sense of the word!! We (party of six) toured El Peñol, Guatape, Comuna 13, El Poblado, etc. Luis went above and beyond to ensure we understood the relevant history, interesting facts, and significance of each location. From the moment he picked us up at the airport, Luis was extremely knowledgeable, respectful, and spoke clearly in English and Spanish. He was always on time; the vehicles were clean and comfortable; and he recommended (and made pit spots at) traditional locations where we ate and drank delicious Colombian cuisine with the locals. And though we felt very safe in Medellin, it was comforting to have him walk around with us in La Comuna 13 (it appeared La Comuna residents really liked Luis!). I highly recommend booking your tours with Luis if you want to tour the city with a local who is knowledgeable, considerate and willing to go above and beyond to provide an unforgettable experience.
My wife and I have been living in Colombia now for 6 months. Been to several locations in this beautiful country and I can honestly say that my favourite adventure by far has been spending the day with Luis! Not only is Luis very knowledgeable and passionate about his city, he is incredibly friendly and it is obvious that he is respected by his community. It seemed that every corner we took, young kids and residents would come over to give him a high five or a hug welcoming him and us to share their day. So very happy that he took us along on this very personal and rewarding experience learning so much about the people of Medellin, their struggles and successes. I can't wait to go back again to spend more time with this truly great guy on one of his other adventures. Thank you so much Luis! It is people like you that truly make your country and people amazing!
Beyond this city tour guide, Luis is the best for EVERYTHING. Seriously, any tour you want to do-- Guatape, Pablo Escobar, Comuna13, cable car, anything and everything in Medellin-- Luis can do it. Anything that you NEED (like random party decorations for your 30th birthday lol), Luis can get it. He is very well connected and friends with everyone in Medellin, extremely knowledge on the city and country's history, and also very funny. I came to Medellin with a group of 6 people to celebrate my 30th birthday, and Luis became like family to our group. We learned and saw so much from him, he definitely made our trip very memorable.
Arrived in Medellin not knowing much about the city and by the time I left I was in LOVE with it. Luis from Travel Medellin Guide was a huge contributor to that sentiment. He was knowledgeable, trustworthy & very professional. He has a deep love for Medellin and it shows. I highly recommend his services.
This was our family’s first time to visit Medellín. Luis was so friendly, punctual, flexible, and thoughtful with his tour. He incorporated things that were of interest to us and tailored the tour to our family specifically. Luis is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all things Medellín. Not to mention his perfect English! We so loved our day we spent with Luis and can’t imagine using any other tour guide. If you are wanting a guide for anything in Medellin, you MUST use Luis!!
Excellent choice very professional the agency of Mr. Luis Londoño. We chose the Citytour that included trip to Botero Square and downtown Medellin as well as tours of the cable and cable car metro systems. Our Guide Mr. Johnie Londoño was spectacular with a lot of knowledge and empathy interacted with us and the place Pro. We personally and safely visited these places as well as we could enjoy the local cuisine as well as the gentleness and warmth of such a beautiful city and its village. Thanks to Travel Medellin Guide for the super recommended experience.
Luis, excellent professional, punctual in the pick-up schedule, excellent communicator in English and Spanish, I recommend him 100%, the same as a tour guide with transportation and as a person, without a doubt we will always use him
