Things to do in  Medellín

David was the best tour guide, he had so many unique stories and knew about the best places to go in Medellín. He spoke very good English as well which was good for me since I am still learning Spanish

Our guide Sandy (with a y😉) was absolutely fantastic!! Great personality and made the day very enjoyable! A great way to see Guatape which is well worth seeing if in Medellín!

Foreign travelers were provided with an English speaking guide, Sandy. I could tell that he has so much passion with his job. Thanks to him, I learned some things about Medellín and Guatapé. I was worried about going on a tour by myself but it was pointless. I got to talk to people around the world and it was amazing. Overall, highly recommended!

Having our own personal guide although he didn’t speak Spanish that well but he still tried and was fun. Being able to see Pablo’s neighborhood that he was able to build up for the people of Medellín when they had nothing. Although he was considered a bad person he still found it in his heart to help his city in many ways! Juan Pablo our guide is awesome and very nice (give him 5 stars alone)

We are frequent/savvy travelers. Andrés is excellent! Here are the benefits of working with him: extremely knowledgeable of the city and its history; fluent in Spanish and English; timely; well known in the city; personable; and highly trustworthy. You would be making a smart investment in your trip by using Andrés for ALL of your needs and interests in Medellín. Bravo Andrés!

Hector was an absolutely fantastic guide. He offered a unique experience, telling us not only regional history but elaborating on his experiences in Colombia throughout various periods of history. He was an excellent conversationalist in both English and Spanish and knew the best places to eat along the way. I highly recommend spending a day with Hector during your stay in Medellín.

It was a great experience. The guide spoke really good English. It was a good experience for those who want to explore towns outside of Medellín, but don't have much time. The places we visited were nice. The dessert at the end was my fav part.

This tour is the most memorable from our time in Medellín. You start off in a popular tienda/bodega at the top of a hill, greeting your guide and meeting a local resident from Comuna 13 over a drink and snack (empanadas were delicious!) and you walk down steps and explore the neighborhood the rest of the time (much easier than many tours that start at the bottom and make you hike up the hill). We heard the real story of the neighborhood that our local guide lived since her childhood, visited a home to see how people live, and stopped by several bars, art shops and food stands that our guide recommended. Picking the right places to go and having all our street food and beer covered by the tour is a huge benefit - you really see more, sit in the best spots with incredible views, and experience what the local residents like to do and eat and drink. We must have sampled 12-15 beers along the way, and tried 5-6 types of food and dessert. It felt limitless to try things as we went and to have a new friend from this community point things out along the way. Unscripted, so fun, so original. Do it!!!

I had a lot of fun on my Escobar tour. If you're expecting scenes from Narcos, you might be disappointed. But for me it was awesome to see this stuff in real life. I enjoyed every site and I found the drive around Medellín to be very pleasant and beautiful. My guide Julio was great. And if you're in Colombia and are upset upon hearing Spanish, then you shouldn't come. Tour is good for open-minded, interested people.

Stop searching for things to do in Medellín and book this wonderful tour. It was my first time in a coffee plantation and I LOVE IT. The owners treated us like we had known them for years, and they felt like instant friends: Celene and her husband were also sooo very knowledgeable. I felt like I have known Celene all my life. This is an organic farm it was so fascinating to see how you can use nature in your favor. You feel like you are visiting a finca that is both close to the city but also off the beaten tourist track. I think we learned everything that is humanly possible about coffee: its history and production.They explained every detail and I loved every minute. Our guide Sergio was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and beyond friendly. The horseback riding part of the tour was also an incredible experience: the horses take you up a small road up the mountain we trotted along and had an amazing time, even went over the highway. As you keep going up the mountain eventually you are riding through lots of greenery and we ended up at a beautiful waterfall. The horses were friendly and gentle. My son loved his horse and told me: we have to do this again. I would highly recommend this trip, over and over again. Deja de buscar cosas que hacer en Medellín y has tu reservación para este maravilloso tour. Era mi primera vez en una plantación de café y ME ENAMORO. Los propietarios nos trataron como si fuéramos muy viejos amigos y que nos conocíamos desde hacía años. Sentí que conocía a Celene toda mi vida. Celene y su esposo, los propietarios, saben todo lo que hay que saber acerca del café. Creo que aprendimos todo lo que es humanamente posible saber sobre el café: su historia y producción, fue muy fascinante. Explicaron cada detalle y me encantó cada minuto. Esta finca es una finca orgánica, no usa ningún tipo de químicos y es muy interesante ver cómo puedes utilizar la naturaleza a tu favor. Nuestro guía Sergio estaba bien informado, era muy entusiasta y amigable. La excursión a caballo también fue una experiencia increíble: los caballos te llevan por una vereda a través de las montañas, cabalgamos a través de un increíble paisaje, pasamos por un puente elevado de la carretera y terminamos en una hermosa cascada. Recomiendo este tour una y otra vez

Alex is absolutely amazing! If you want the tour of your lifetime, book with Alex! He is extremely knowledgeable and wants to make sure you have the best trip possible. I have taken many tours all around the world they were good and they don't compare to the service and personalization of this tour with Alex. He picked me up on time and we headed to Jardín. On the drive he explained to me about the history of Medellín, of Colombia, and of the culture differences. We explored the city of Jardín, went to a coffee farm for a tour and lunch, and then headed to an extremely excluded waterfall for a private viewing and swim! Alex isn't just a tour guide to me, he is my friend. He has so much passion and joy for his work, and it shows! If you are in Medellín take a tour with Alex, any of them, and your life will be changed for the better! Alex, thank you for the most amazing day!

Well organized and informative. A very nice day tour from Medellín with an English and Spanish guides.

Our trip was amazing very much due to our excellent tour guide Santy. He showed us all the places with explanations in English and back stories. Guatape and the rock are also magnificent. It’s a MUST trip if you are visiting Medellín
