"Jhoan is proud of his city, proud of his roots, and proud of his profession - not only as a wonderful, warm and incredibly knowledgeable guide that will make you feel right at home, but as somebody committed to sharing the remarkable and complex history and the rich and resilient culture of his country. Jhoan will provide you with all the insights and understanding that only outstanding guides really do. And you’ll enjoy every minute of your time with him. "

"Jhoan’s tour was so thoughtfully put together. We enjoyed everything from fresh juices & fruits, to street meat and arepas. I’m vegetarian enjoyed so, so much delicious food that I wouldn’t have tracked down on my own. The variety of establishments is wide and he mixes in general Medellín history, too. One thousand stars out of ten. Can’t recommend enough, especially for vegetarians. :) Thank you for a super fun afternoon, Jhoan! "

"Jhoan was an awesome guide and very knowledgeable about the area. He is born and raised in Medellin and draws much of his experience living through the turbulent years as he explains the history of Comuna 13 through art. The Comuna itself has transformed into a very touristy area, lined with sidewalk sellers. The area is unlike any place I’ve seen before and worth the time to explore. "

"Jhoan was very personable and informative about the city, culture, and history. He showed us some fascinating out of the way sights. We were also treated to and discovered new fruit beverages. Loved lulo! "

"Jhoan was a great guide and provided tons of info about the history and surroundings during the tour! Definitely recommend getting a guide for comuna 13 and this was a great experience with Jhoan! "

"Jhoan expertly led us through this colorful, amazing village. I felt like I saw everything I had come to see and more. He was patient and never rushed us. "

"Jhoan was excellent especially when he provided us with some very interesting Colombian history as we waited out an hour downpour. "

"We are a group of 9 (8 Canadians and 1 Amurican), and Jhoan was very good, adjusting the tour (we added the tram) and answering all our questions. He has a very interesting background and was kind enough to share that with us. When in Medellin, be sure to go with Jhoan! Ps: his dinner recommendation was a 10/10 (Berracas de la 13)!"

"Jhoan was an amazing personal guide for Comuna 13. His personal connection and evolution to a mature and articulate adult and deep knowledge of the history of that area really brought the neighborhood alive for us. He made the complex history understandable, with excellent pacing (neither too fast, nor too slow) and offered several flexible options for us to decide to lean more heavily towards neighborhoods or towards tourist spots. Our day with Jhoan was easily the best personal tour guide experience we have had during our time in Medellin."
