Daniel, the guide, is knowledgeable. He hosted a tour of Communa 13 using a historic and ethnographic lens to illustrate socioeconomic evolutions. It was a deep education of a district I would have otherwise never had the opportunity to become acquainted

We do not intend to idolize Escobar or any member of the cartel, much less disrespect the Colombian people. Our purpose is to tell the truth, far from myths and fanaticism. focusing on the struggle and awareness of our brothers to show a new and improved Medellin. Our greatest desire is that you know a part of the history marked by the pain and suffering of the Colombian people, the perspectives, places and stories during this dark time for Colombia.

Terrific!!! Kevin was a great tour guide, very friendly and attentive to all the little details. My mom is vegan so he asked (while we were climbing El Peñol) for vegan options. My mom loved the restaurant. The coffee farm tour was organized well and was very informative. At no point did we feel like we were rushed and were able to fit everything well. From the climb, to the walking tour of Guatapé, to the coffee farm and the boat tour everything was really good. Highly recommend Kevin and his company, Inside Colombia!

This tour was the highlight of our family vacation, we absolutely loved it!! Oscar has a gift of making every person feel included and helped our bi-lingual family feel comfortable by providing information in Spanish and English. The private car was extremely clean and the driver did an excellent job navigating the mountainous roads. The tour was filled with extremely interesting information, beautiful sights, kind Colombians, and delicious foods. 100% recommend!

WOW! What can I say but I would give this 10 stars if I could! This was my first horseback riding tour in Colombia and I did it with Andres. I had such an unbelievable, breathtaking experience. I called him and booked the day before and he was able to squeeze us in for a tour. Andres was super friendly and an awesome guide who also spoke English and Spanish, he’s also very knowledgeable. I ended up choosing the cattle ranch riding tour and it did not disappoint! He was accommodating to payment methods and picking us up from hotel in the morning and provided us water for the trip. The horses you get to ride are from his very own farm. I can tell they are very well taken care of and healthy and also well behaved! We had an authentic Colombian lunch before taking off to ride. He will tailor to your riding experiences but I told him I had experiences riding so we were able to gallop during the flatter part of the ride. The view through the acres was so beautiful. He explained many things to us so I felt that I learned a lot. He also has fresh eggs from his chicken and his own roasted coffee so be sure to pick some up after the ride. It was a full day of trip, about 1.5 hr to the farm, 2 hrs ish for the ride. Overall I had such a wonderful experience for my first tour in Colombia, especially being a horse lover this was a thrill and an experience I’ll never forget. I look forward to other tours with Andres and LandVenture Travel in the future. Thank you again! I HIGHLY recommend going with him for your tours, you will not be disappointed and be coming back for more. ????????????????
