“The car they sent to me broke a few minutes after we left for our tour. We had to be taken back to the hotel. But I need to congratulate Camilo. He quickly found a replacement car and guide and sent them to the hotel. Unfortunately, at that moment, we had already booked another tour (since we didn't have time to waste). These things happen. Camilo and his company did everything to get it fixed. But since we had already gone, they gave us a full refund on Viator. I would recommend this company to anyone who comes to Medellin. We all loved their punctuality and accountability.”
