Top Medellín Private Sightseeing Tours

The tour was great. We enjoyed all the sculptures in Botero park as well as the museum. The highlight, by far, was the tour of Columna 13. The energy, colors, music, food and everything else were spectacular. Our guide Carlos was great and took the time to show us all the ‘cool’ places and answered all our questions.

Great day trip from Medellin to visit the charming colorful town of Guatape and climbing La Piedra. There were bus loads of tourists but we are so glad we did a private tour. Our guide Sergio Buitrago was amazing! Very professional and so knowledgeable about the history of Colombia and Medellin and Guatape and connecting to other countries. He kept the long drive very interesting by sharing his knowledge with us. The best guide we have ever had!! Breakfast and lunch were included with the tour and both were very good. Afternoon boat ride after lunch was relaxing. Overall, a great day and 5 stars to our guide Sergio Buitrago!!

This is a MUST DO! This tour beats all the others by miles. You will need to be mildly active to do it, but I was battling the worst day of allergies and still was able to power through and have quite literally the best time while here in Medellin. We did the mountain climb and the zipline and the experience will take your breath away. Diego is super patient and kind and I highly recommend you request him for the tour. Gorgeous, beautiful and the pictures do NOT do it justice. Worth every single penny.

I booked this tour with my partner and we could not have had a better experience. Our tour guide was Joshua and he was a 12/10 tour guide. He picked us up right at the hostel we were staying at - he was informative, professional and very easy-going. He was great with letting us go at our own pace and we spent much of our tour time exploring the “Comuna 13” and the Downtown area. We never made it to the cable cars which was our own decision because we wanted to spend more time at the first two destinations and Joshua was very accommodating. “Comuna 13” was a bustling favela type neighborhood that had plenty of cool things to check out: Bars/Restaurants, Street Food, Street Graffiti, Soccer Field and Joshua gave some insight to the history of the neighborhood as it was “the most dangerous” neighborhood back in the ‘80’s. From there we went to the downtown area where we walked around and Joshua explained some of the more prominent buildings in the downtown area and we did some shopping with the local vendors. He also took us to the “Nacional Palacio” which was their version of a mall but it was a beautiful building with an art museum on the rooftop floor which i would highly recommend checking out. Joshua was also EXTREMELY helpful with helping us haggle on prices in the downtown area as me and my partner were not the best at speaking Spanish. All in all - we had a great time and cannot thank Joshua enough for a great day exploring the city of Medellín!

An incredibly fun and safe trip through the mountains with our guide Faber. He gave us an authentic feel for Colombian culture, the empanadas were the best I’ve ever had. Lush jungle and our own private waterfall to swim in was outstanding. Gracias Faber!!

This was our second time visiting Medellín. On our first trip, we did a private tour of Comuna 13, a cable car ride, and learned about Pablo Escobar. This tour was different and excellent because we explored another cable line and visited areas we hadn’t seen before. Our guide, Andres, was fantastic. His English is very good, his car was comfortable, and he made us feel at ease while exploring new areas of the city. At the end of the tour, he also provided great restaurant recommendations when I asked. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this tour and Andres as a guide.

Mateo was our friendly and courteous driver who came to pick us up at our hotel right on time. He was very knowledgeable about the different places he took us, in a very nice and comfortable car. He also took tons of pictures in a creative way. I surely would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to know Medellin in a pleasant way.

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!
