I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Silvio during our Family Vacations last week (april 2025) in Medellin, From start to finish, Silvio was a complete professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable tour guide and driver. As both a private driver and a tour guide, he provided an exceptional level of service that truly elevated our trip to Medellín. He knows the city inside and out — not just the tourist spots, but also the hidden gems that made our experience feel authentic and unforgettable. His storytelling skills brought the history and culture of Medellín to life, and he always made sure we felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. The vehicle was clean, modern, and very comfortable. He was always punctual, flexible with our schedule, and went out of his way to accommodate our interests and preferences. With Silvio and his company we perform 3 different tours 1. San Felix with the Parapentes and the Miradores (lookouts) - on this tour we also visit other areas of Medellin that my daughter want to see. 2. Tour to Guatapé and the Peñol - Amazing from start to end! Silvio know exactly what we want! It was like he was reading our minds! Makes us feel so comfy and safe!!! 3. Guide visit to the history of Pablo Escobar - incredible how much knowledge Silvio has of the history! And the storytelling was amazing!!! Whether you’re looking for a day tour, an airport transfer, or a full itinerary across the region, I wholeheartedly recommend Silvio. He’s not just a guide — he’s a true ambassador for Medellín.
