Family friendly, great first impression of vibrant city

We loved our experience with Tomás! This was our first activity in Medellin. I would highly recommend it! It gave us a great orientation of the city. We were impressed with the bike infrastructure, the green scenery, and our guide’s knowledge. We have three kids (14, 12 and 10). Tomás was very attentive to them - helping with an emergency restroom stop, pointing out interesting activity, and information to the kids, and speaking in slow clear Spanish, so our kids could practice their Spanish and understand.

Must Visit Experience for 1st Timers Medellin!!

From the initial booking to the communication via WhatsApp 🙌 was very helpful to receive info about the upcoming itinerary. The breakfast served was delicious 😋 as well as the lunch that was at a local spot. We loved visiting Guatape, the boat ride and the llamas at the farm. However, I wish we could have spent a bit longer at the other stops like Plaza de Zocaletos where there was a lot of shopping and places to take pictures 📸 we just had to made sure we left on time so the bus doesn't leave us stranded. Our tour guide, Ale was super helpful and kind, responding all of our questions and giving advice 😀 highly recommend this tour company

Horseback Riding in Medellin Private Tour: Great Views & Horses

Lewis_C, Mar 2026

So much fun!

We had a wonderful horseback riding experience that we truly enjoyed. Our guide, Sara, was exceptional from the very beginning and added so much to the overall experience. The horses, Troya and Paloma, were calm, well cared for, and a pleasure to ride. It was a long and rewarding ride, with a stop along the way to enjoy a spectacular view. Although it rained on and off, we were provided with waterproof covers, and it was never uncomfortable. In fact, the cooler weather and lack of strong sun made the ride even more enjoyable. During the ride up, Sara gave us a great overview of Medellín, sharing interesting insights about the city and the surrounding region. Beyond being very professional, she is a warm and genuine person with a truly lovely spirit, which made the experience feel personal and special. I would also like to highlight Andrés from Medellín Day Trips, who was excellent to work with. He checked in with us both before and after the activity to ensure everything met our expectations, demonstrating a high level of care and professionalism. This activity was the perfect way to start our first day in Medellín. It allowed us to get some exercise, connect with nature, and enjoy local horses in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.
