Meet Luis
Meet Luis Ospina
Luis is a bilingual tour guide in Medellín. He enjoys sharing the history and transformation of his city, connecting the places you visit with the stories behind them.
The team arranges private tours in Medellín and Antioquia, from Comuna 13 and the city centre to Guatapé, coffee farms and traditional towns. Airport transfers and vehicles with a driver are also available by arrangement.
We begin by listening. Your time, interests and travel companions help us shape the route.
His knowledge of the city has also led him to collaborate on National Geographic’s Narco Wars documentary and to be interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about Pablo Escobar’s legacy. That conversation continues on his tours: understanding the past in context and discovering Medellín today.
