Our tour with Daniel was AMAZING!! He was so patient as we were running a little behind and he actually came and picked us up with the group which was greatly appreciated! He had such a great attitude and was very personable! He was also very knowledgeable with explaining the different areas we were encountering. I would highly suggest booking this tour with him and will recommend him to all my friends what visit Medellin! Thank you so much Daniel!
