Top Medellín Day Trips

Camillo our tour guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the area which made the experience worthwhile. He’s very patient and does his best for everyone to enjoy the tour. We met downtown El Poblano, took the metro and the cable cars to communa 13 it felt like a real local experience. One thing I liked was that the tour was not over crowded so it was easy for Camillo to interact with each person and made the experience feel personal. We all felt included. We visited so many local shops and interacted with the locals. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Such a great full-day experience! Guatapé is absolutely beautiful, the views from Piedra del Peñol are incredible, and the boat tour was a fun addition. We also visited a farm and got to see the cutest llamas, which was such a fun way to end the tour! Everything was well organized, the meals were good, and it was a great way to experience so much in one day. Perfect for solo travelers too! Definitely recommend!

If you have the chance to take this tour with Yuly, do it! This was one of the best experiences of my trip and easily one of the most memorable days I had in Colombia. The tour was a very small group-just 3 of us-which made the whole experience feel incredibly personal. As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated how welcoming she was. During the drive, she shared the history of Colombia, Guatapé, and the surrounding area, but it never felt like a lecture. It felt like a conversation with a new friend on a road trip! Climbing the rock is definitely a workout, but the views are absolutely worth it. Getting to Guatapé early was another highlight because we were able to enjoy the colorful streets before the crowds arrived. Yuly’s passion for the town, its history, and its people made every stop so much more meaningful. She also gave us fantastic lunch recommendations and introduced us to local fruits that I probably never would have tried on my own. The coffee farm was the perfect way to end the day. It was a small family-run farm, and you could immediately tell how much Yuly cares about the family and the work they do. Laura welcomed us so warmly, and we had so much fun learning about the coffee-making process while getting hands-on throughout the experience. It was educational, authentic, and full of laughter. While it is a long day, every minute is worth it. If you’re looking for an authentic experience that goes beyond sightseeing, I can’t recommend this tour- and especially with Yuly- highly enough!
