El Poblado, Medellín, seen across the valley towards the mountains

Paisa Concierge · Medellín

I am from here. That is the whole difference.

You land and it is already handled. Villa, tables, driver, the day out of the city. One price agreed before you arrive, one person accountable, nothing to negotiate with a stranger.

How I work

The part nobody in this business says out loud.

Bars and clubs in Provenza pay commissions to hosts and drivers for bringing foreigners through the door. It is why the recommendation you get from a driver or a hotel desk is almost never about where you would actually have the best night.

I am offered that money. I do not take it.

No commissions: I take nothing from any venue. My only income is the package you paid for.
No gringo tax: Local price plus my fee, stated up front.
One host, me: The person in the videos is the person who meets you at the airport.
Half up front: Fifty percent holds the dates. The rest when you arrive.

This is probably not for you if:

You are looking for the cheapest option. There are shared bus tours to Guatapé for thirty dollars and they are fine. Take one.
You want me to arrange things I have already said I do not arrange.
You cannot confirm dates. I hold one group at a time.

Not rudeness. Efficiency.
