Top Medellín Day Trips

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!

The trip was great we had an awesome time the bus was comfortable and the breakfast and lunch was great. Patricia did a great job and everything was timed perfectly we didn’t feel rushed. Make it sound good it’s to leave a review for a tour to Guatape

Samuel was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable. It was the first time for me and my brother doing this tour. And even tho we are not big coffee drinker it was really good to learn the difference between good coffee and the bad one. Horseback riding was also alot of fun and definitely recommended this tour.

Alonso and Esteban were great guides! The overall experience, hospitality and professionalism was smooth and easy. Did a quick practice run, had two stops for pictures at a waterfall and scenery, then went to a local spot for some quick bites and drinks and finished up with lunch. Overall amazing hosts.

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!

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!

Thomas, our guide was awesome. Very knowledgeable and genuinely friendly, happy to answer all our questions. Excellent way to get a first look at the beautiful city of Medellin. Our guide took us to a wide variety of places and made sure everyone was comfortable and together. Our group felt at ease the whole time. Highly recomend!

Erika was hands down the best tour guide we’ve ever had. She was super knowledgeable, funny, and kept the whole day fun and engaging. This tour was perfect because you get a little bit of everything. The rock, Guatapé, the coffee farm, and even exotic fruits. Everything was amazing and well organized. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín
