That looks like a good rate for door-to-door service, you have used him before?

Does he speak english? And I assume have no problems against mongerers?

English is fair, but he is honest, watches out for you, and knows all the monger spots on Tungs Guide and associated map. He specializes in working out of Hotel Floridia on Carrera 70.

I have him take me everywhere, Santa Fe Antioquia, Guatape, Santa Elena, and of course all my favorite massajes.

Good guy for sure.

I paid 35,000 from the airport to poblado even when the sticker says 50,000 I was able to bargain my way down,I don't know about buses they look safe to me.

The bus is 6,000 to Centro, I have used it twice.

I used this guy all the time when I was at the Hotel Florida.

He is a great guy to use and he speaks no ENGLISH!

Excellent service.

Quick q to board: when you negotiate w/ a chica (streetwalker/mayorista) as on the list for 100k (let's say) for 3 hours, is it assumed she will provide you w/ as many pops as possible within the 3 hours or just once, and if I want more pops I need to explicitly state that beforhand?

Thing with me is that I can come like 2 or 3 times in 3 hours, so I want to get my money's worth. I don't know if this is something required to be negotiated up front.

Additionally, when you take a chica out from a strip club or a casa for 1 hour, is it possible to get 2 pops in, assuming of course I'm up to the task. Or would they only be expecting one pop for each hour? (in that case, I'm just going to ask for 30 min each time)

You can pay for a regular taxi (50,000cop) or you could go and take a colectivo taxi in ayacucho avenue for 8,000cop, or the collectivo bus near el nutibara hotel for 6,000 cop.

Last trip I took the bus for $3 as I did not have any pesos at the time. That was a good way to start the trip by saving some money right off the bat.

There has been extensive discussion of this in the Forum, but briefly, the options (from best to cheapest) are 1. Have your hotel pick you up. This will cost about 10, 000 COP more than a Taxi ($5), but there will be someone waiting for you when you come out the gate, they will know exactly where to take you, there car will be nicer and there is virtually no chance of being ripped off. Unless you are fluent in Spanish I recommend this for any first timer. 2) call a taxi when you get there. This is more secure than getting a taxi from the line up, but you will have to wait and then find the right one. Price will be the same. 3) grab a taxi at the curb. Some say there is a risk of hijacking if you this. I only took Taxis in town, but never felt any threat, your call. 4) take the mini-bus to Central Medellin and a cheap cab from there. 5) hitch-hike. It would probably work but I sure as heck wouldn't try it.

Or, you could play like Pablo Escobar and take a helicopter!
