Top Medellín Private Sightseeing Tours - page 3

Our experience in Guatapé would not have been the same without our guide, Nelson Ortiz. He is, without a doubt, one of the best guides we’ve ever had. Extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable, he made every moment both enjoyable and meaningful. Nelson has an impressive command of multiple languages, which made communication seamless and added even more value to the experience. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with his thoughtful recommendations, allowed us to truly appreciate Guatapé beyond the typical tourist perspective. What made the experience even more special were the incredible photos he took for us—beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. He has a great eye for capturing the perfect moments. We feel truly grateful and fortunate to have had Nelson as our guide. Thank you, Nelson Ortiz, for your kindness, your expertise, and for making this trip unforgettable.

booked a private full-day tour and it turned out to be such a special, personal experience. My guide picked me up right from my hotel in the morning and dropped me off there at the end of the day, which made everything feel effortless and comfortable from start to finish. We went hiking, visited a stunning waterfall where I could swim, tried some local food, and experienced an incredible zipline, including relaxing in a hammock suspended high above the scenery. It all felt so unique and thoughtfully planned. The entire day flowed perfectly. The car was very comfortable, the driving was smooth, and I always felt safe. My guide was genuinely kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable, not just sharing information, but really making sure I was enjoying every moment. It didn’t feel like a typical tour at all, it felt like a truly personal experience. I left with amazing memories and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for something meaningful and unforgettable.

So fun. Got to see a great little town with very colorful scenery. Food choices were great. Our guide, Laura, was absolutely amazing. She shared a lot of local information and was fun! She was so easy to be with and the conversation never faultered. The food choices were amazing. Really was great to get out of the tourist regular spots and see local culture!

My favorite trip in Colombia. Worth every penny 5x over. Jose was an attentive and great guide. His English is also perfect. Trip covers everything: hotel pickup, ATV riding, waterfall and swimming, fishing your own lunch, and transport back to the hotel. Couldn’t recommend it more.

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!

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!
