What are people saying about Medellín

Erin_B, Mar 2026

I had a great day, it was...

I had a great day, it was a lot of fun. I felt welcomed from the very start so thank you for that Sebastián. Ale our tour guide was great very kind and informative and pacient with everyone. I really loved the boat trip and climbing the Piedra del Peñol was hard work but totally worth it. I think all the timings for the day were perfect, the only think was that I didn’t love the last stop in el alto del Chocho. It just felt way more touristy than any of the other places we visited and the animals don’t appear to be cared for properly, I saw a lot in very bad shape which is so sad…. I would have rather have skipped that one honestly. But apart from that everything was great, again especially Ale was so lovely, really appreciate her. Also the food was delicious, I loved that there was two different vegetarian options that doesn’t often happen in many tours. I didnt have a lot of time in Medellin to spend many days exploring these areas so it was perfect to be able to see and experience them in one day. Thank you very much again😊

hiking medellin and hidden waterfalls

maricelis_R, Mar 2026

Best experience ever in Medellin

This is my second trip to Medellin and I visited many places. By far this is the best I done. Joanna, Alejandro and the rest of the crew were amazing. The hike was beautiful from the beginning to the end. Good facts are the time, the length of the activity and the driving distance from the meeting point to the hiking point. Got to say you have to be in a very good physical condition to enjoy it. 150 stars !!!

Alejandro was a great guide, his personal experience isn't something you can get from any tour guide or any tv show. This was a learning experience and I'm very glad I went on this tour. See the house where he died, the museum, his grave, and the memorial to his victims.

Day tour to Guatapé +Rock del Peñol: Breakfast, Lunch and Boat.

Suraiya_R, Feb 2026

Absolutely Amazing Experience

We enjoyed this day trip so much! Everything was well planned, the early start time ensured that we got the most out of the day :) Our tour guide took our orders for breakfast and lunch prior so we had a smooth experience at the restaurants. Breakfast was lovely we are vegetarians and chose the Colombian pastries option which we enjoyed! The free time at all our stopes were great, we enjoyed walking around the town and we opted to climb El Peñol, it only looks intimidating, the stars are well made and easy to climb up, go at your own pace and take breaks, sip water as needed :) At the top you have a option of buying a medal with your name and date engraved as a memento of your accomplishment of climbing the rock. the views everywhere were breath taking. Lunch was great for us (vegetarians) and the boat tour was a lovely enjoyable addition :) Definitely recommend this tour if you are in Medellin (even if you don't want to climb El Peñol). Kudos to the our guide, driver and the company :)

Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour

PeiSan_C, Feb 2026

Really enjoyed the...

Really enjoyed the variety and different treats of the tour. The walking tour of Hacienda Manuela was interesting and the farm/ ranch was hilarious. The time spent at each place was good, enabling you to fit in so much in one day. Lunch probably could have been a little shorter to give more time at the Penol stone. OK for me but you could struggle for time to get up, enjoy the view and get down in time again. A long day but worth it!

Private Half-Day Coffee Tour at Family Farm Close to Medellín!

TROY_R, Jan 2026

This was such a special...

This was such a special experience! After multiple coffee-oriented tours across the globe, this was the most in-depth and interactive we've been on by far. From the planting, to the harvesting, to the drying, to the roasting, to the packaging and all the little details in between - we left with a wealth of knowledge no other tour had ever provided us. It was so cool to actually participate in so many of these steps hands-on, and the coffee tasting of the different brewing methods was fascinating! Our guide Carlos was amazing and such an amazing addition to our day on the farm. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin!

Brandon_C, Nov 2025

Wonderful!

We had a small group tour with Yuli and it was fantastic! Exploring the Zócalos, and El Peñol and getting to climb la Piedra de El Peñol were all terrific, as was learning from Yuli about life, the food and local culture, but the real highlight was the coffee farm. Learning and taking part in the collection, sorting, grinding and ultimately drinking the amazing coffee was a real treat and Yuli was so kind, helpful and fun!

Food and adventure

Climbing the famous Guatapé Rock was unforgettable—challenging but incredibly rewarding. Every step tested my endurance, but the breathtaking views at the top made it all worth it. Having Mario along made the experience even better—his humor, energy, and encouragement kept the climb fun and uplifting. We also enjoyed delicious food tastings along the way, which added a flavorful twist to the adventure. An absolute must for anyone seeking a mix of challenge, culture, and stunning scenery.

At first, I was nervous, but once I arrived, the team made me feel so much better. They were joking around and making me laugh, which really helped ease my nerves. As they got me ready and set up all the equipment, they continued to check on me — even in the sky! Despite the language barrier, they were kind, thoughtful, and reassuring the entire time. Aside from the initial nerves, the experience was absolutely amazing. One I’ll never forget!

Great way to gain orientation around Medellin City Centre

A great morning spent going around the sites of Medellin City Centre. We had a small group and were led by JJ, who made the trip interesting and informative for us. He looked after us and navigated us through busy traffic and pedestrian areas. Would definitely recommend as a great way to initially gain orientation and insight in to Medellin.
