There's no time to waste! Soak up the 10 best sights of mountainous Medellín (thanks to your savvy host), like the Botero Plaza brimming with world-renowned surreal art, or the illuminating Parque de la Luces, representing change in the city. See a church built with millions of red bricks and ponder your thoughts in San Antonio Plaza and Casa de la Memoria, both reflecting on the city's turbulent past. Become one with the City of Eternal Spring in Barefoot Park (no shoes required), dotted with Zen-inspired architecture; a small taste of what you'll discover at the forest-like Botanical Garden - don't forget to greet the sunbathing iguanas. See a nearby planetarium to return to later, around the corner from Colombia's oldest public university.

We were very fortunate to have Dennis as our guide for three hours and he showed us so many cool things in Central. Dennis is a super kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable person and our tour went way too fast. He has such detailed knowledge of Hong Kong and its history and that made the tour even more valuable. I recommend booking a tour with Dennis; he was great!

We really enjoyed our experience for the Gion tour. It was refreshing to receive emails about our preferences for our tour guide and things to help make our experience more enjoyable for our tour and our selected tour guide. Our tour guide Cici for friendly and informative. Cici understood the history and culture of Kyoto. My kids really enjoyed talking to Cici about everything related to Kyoto. Our whole family enjoyed our interactions and Gion walk with Cici. I would highly recommend this tour to others to try.
