Testimonials
"It was a great opportunity to see and understand another area of such a fascinating city. We really enjoyed the afternoon."
— Gemma from Australia
"The overarching theme of the tour is great! We got to understand that transformation is real, but it's complex, and the tour does a wonderful job at demonstrating that the definition of transformation, progress, development, etc and its impact on Medellin, and barrios, depends on whose lenses you're looking through."
— Michael from USA
