This is the piece of paper he gave me to call when I come back to Medellin. His cell #'s are: 300 611 8150 311 796 9117 Home #'s are 332 7161 331 1242 some of the numbers are probably country codes and city codes. I had the front desk call his number while we were there to finalize some plans for the next day. You can probably verify these numbers with the hotel as well. His last name is Gomez. Hope this helps. Will be interested in what you find out. Buen viaje! Steve Lilly: Here is the info on Germán. This is the piece of paper he gave me to call when I come back to Medellin.

I think you will be very pleased with the Hotel Park 10. Let me check my notes, I think I have German's last name and maybe even his phone number. The hotel can definately sign him up as well, but let me check my files first. Do you speak Spanish? His English is not strong at all. He gave us the tour in Spanish. But, if you have to have English, German can probably structure something. He was dedicated to showing us everything we wanted and was concerned that we felt we were getting our money's worth. He was superb! I would also use him as your airport pickup and return if possible. The hotel was also very diligent in e-mailing me with any communication about our room, rates, pick-up, etc. They have some special weekend rates if that fits with your plan. We booked direct with the hotel. I will get back with you on German. Steve Lilly: Wow, I am really envious of your upcoming trip. I think you will be very pleased with the Hotel Park 10.

I got to your website when I googled "Hotel Park 10" where my husband and I will stay this November. We have the exact same itinerary as you - arriving Medellin in the evening, then flying to Cartagena the next evenant at 6p. Did you think this was enough time? I'm wondering if your tour guide German has a last name - I'd love to ask the Hotel Park 10 if we could sign him up for us as well. The "Pablo Escobar tour" would be exactly what my husband would love!! Thanks so much for any thoughts - lilly320@gmail.com Steve, thanks for your amazing tales of your trip.
