I know a very good, honest and reliable english speaking cab driver that I use frequently. His name is Jhon (that's the correct spelling). His cell number is 311 362 4809. His landline is 492 4894. Tell him that you were reccomended by Harvey.

Hello Andres, I may be visiting Medellin for a few more days than originally thought. I have looked at your web page and I like the look of your packages! We should most certainly meet up. my e-mail address is mrobbins@etsdies.com.

drop me a line any time and we can discuss possible tours. Also do you know of any good cycling tours? my girlfriend and I are avid cyclocross cyclists and are looking for trails to do with other people. Do you know of any?

Hi John, I've been using a person by the name of Ivan, he's friendly and speaks english fairly well. His phone # is (300) 616-4907 and his e-mail address is elguiaivan@hotmail.com. When are you coming to Medellin? Are you planning on moving here?

Hi Mat,

Thank you for the info. I will email Ivan and will ask from him. It's not in my plan to move in Medellin but I'm intending to stay at least 3 months during winter time. I might try staying for 2 weeks this coming winter initially and will see if I like it.

Thanks again and hope to catch you when I'm there, for coffee and some talk, at least.

Hello richihong - it appears you may have already been introduced to the driver I would recommend via this string. My husband and I have used Andres from Land Venture Travel during two separate trips to the Medellin area within the past 8 months and will always look to him first. He's smart (great English btw), kind, patient (especially with our limited, poor Spanish) and always goes the distance to put together an itinerary to meet our desires. He's flexible and never makes us feel like we're on a time schedule. We've come to think of our time with him more like hanging out with a friend than being led by a tour guide. Give him a try - you won't regret it!

Minsey - I see that you're in touch with Andres at Land Venture Travel. Just wanted to chime in with my strong endorsement of his company's services. My husband and I have used Land Venture for many amazing adventures in and around Medellin for the past few years. I hope you're able to travel with them so that you can fully appreciate the beauty and vibrancy of Antioquia.
