What are people saying about Medellín

Elizabeth_P, Aug 2026

Day trip to Guatape.

Hector was amazing! We had an informative drive to Guatapé. Unfortunately it was raining the whole way there but he used that time to share information about Colombia. He was a wealth of information about the political structure of the country and the history of Colombia. When we arrived at the massive rock, Hector knew everyone from the ticket agent to the parking people. It was a steep but short hike to the top of the rock. Go early to beat the tour busses - it will be worth it. We were up and off the rock before thousands of people arrived. We also were in and out of Guatape before the masses rolled in. It is a such beautiful drive and Hector made it so easy for us! He is so calm, insightful and fun. Ask for Hector - he is the best!

Comuna 13 Tour with Cable Car Ride

Kareece_S, Aug 2026

Camillo was Amazing

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.

Guatapé Full Day Tour – Piedra del Peñol with meals & boat tour

Monika_G, Jul 2026

So fun!

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!

hiking medellin and hidden waterfalls

Jasmine_C, Jul 2026

Would do again!

The company was very timely and informative of the land, city, and trail. Guri and Alejandro we're very pleasant and respectful. The trail up to the waterfall did not feel rushed . The snacks were light and refreshing. Lastly, the food menu items were delicious and authentic.

Guatapé & Coffee farm, all in one day

Maggie_L, Jun 2026

More Like a Road Trip with a Friend Than a Tour ⭐

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!

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

Debby_I, Mar 2026

Exquisite Experience!

Our family of six had a spectacular time visiting this farm with Carlos as our guide. In addition to being a walking encyclopedia on the topic of coffee, he knows Medellin and was able to help us better understand the city as he drove us to and from the farm. The experience of better understanding coffee - from seed to processing to tasting - exceeded all of our expectations. Every step of this tour was given with exquisite thoughtfulness and care. I think part of that comes from doing it again and again and having had the chance to perfect it, but for us we felt like the first and favorite customers ever - not a hint of being part of a touristy grind. Carlos and Juan Pablo, who assisted Carlos once we got the farm, seemed truly enthusiastic to share their passion for Colombian coffee with us. Also, this farm is in a breathtakingly beautiful location. I don't think any of us will ever look at or taste coffee the same way again. Be sure to bring plenty of cash so you can buy their products (which they never pushed, we inquired and bought) as well as to tip. We left this tour high on coffee and life. Truly a highpoint of our trip. Thank you Carlos, Juan Pablo, and all at the farm!

Pablo Escobar Tour : Museum, History and Beer

Carey_S, Mar 2026

Escobar

We had the BEST experience with Alejandro. I was curious what Escobar story we would hear after hearing so many viewpoints. However, Alejandro knew the history inside and out and with great passion! For our own reasons along with his we knew he was speaking truth! We enjoyed the museum where we met Escobar's niece who was super friendly and enjoyed all it had to offer. We then went across for a water/beer with our group. Buses were air conditioned and comfortable. We then headed to the cemetery and wall. Excellent tour whether you hate, like, or don't care about him personally it's still the history of Medellin and was nice to learn more about it. Highly recommend!
