Our Medellin City Tour is the most complete of all. We visit some touristy areas that are probably in your bucket list but also some off-the-beaten-path places that very few tourists get to know.

The day starts at your place where we pick you up in a private vehicle and from there we go to the center of Medellin where the tour takes place.

This tour is a cool combination of using different means of transportation, walking around in safe but interesting areas, visiting historical places, markets, the oldest saloon of Medellin all this with guides trained in history to explain in detail everything you see on the tour.

Remember, we are always flexible and can accommodate requests to tour any other sites in the city.

In conclusion, this is customizable private tour that will make you feel as if you were hanging out with a knowledgeable local friend showing you places that you wouldn't find and understand by your own.

Book now, we promise you will love it.

Our tour with Erika was nothing short of AMAIZING. She promptly picked us up at our hotel and gave us an tour of the city. We started in the city center where she explained the history of Medellin to us. During our time in the city center she offered the option to change one of our stops to visit Commune 13. Since we were short on time (we were only in the city for the weekend) she mentioned that this was a must see part of the city. Boy were we glad that she gave us this option. Commune 13 was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Medellin. While there we had the opportunity to try the best local empanadas and Colombian delicacy's we had during our trip. We also saw some of the amazing art in the area. We loved it.

Our tour with Erika was perfect, we would highly recommend that you plan your tours in Medellin with MedellinDayTrips.

The private tour was exactly what we needed! Alejandro (Alejo) was a very knowledgeable tour guide and gave us a mountain of information regarding each thing we saw & place we visited. Alejo provided us with a true five star experience. He also provided some of his experiences living in Medellin for many years. Our daughter wasn't feeling her best so we asked Alejo to tailor the tour somewhat - which he was more than willing. The tour company is definitely a class above so many others.

Erika was our tour guide and we could not have been in better company!
We visited the Botero plaza, el centro, the Museum of memory and then a trip on the city tram where we experienced striking views of Medellin.
Erika is so knowledgeable and made the experience so much richer.
We left even more in love with Medellin and its spirit of resilience and love. Thank you Erika!

If you like history and art, this tour is for you. We visited Memory Museum and it was a very moving experience. We also saw Botero statues and learned a lot about history of this region. Erika, our guide, really loves her country and shared so many interesting details with us. She was amazing, make sure to request her, you won’t be disappointed.

This is the perfect day tour of Medellin. Our tour guide Alejo Duque was everything we could ask for. Alejo met us on-time at our hotel for pick up. He made sure we had all of our needs met before beginning the tour. The tour lasts about 5-6 hours long. Prepare yourself to walk! Time will go by very quickly seeing and visiting all of the sites. It rained off an on throughout the day and we had a great time nonetheless. at one time, while seeking shelter from the rain, Alejo took us to a historical pub in the city where we could stop and grab a drink while enjoying the history and beauty of teh downtown area. From beginning to end, the whole day is really unforgettable. If you are wanting to get to know Medellin, book this tour. Alejo, again, thank you!!

Andres was an amazing tour guide! What I love about Medellín Day trips is you can customize your tour to be what you want. Andres was so personable and knowledgeable. This was my second time doing the city tour and he showed us a few things I had not seen before. He even let me have my 1/2 hour in the museum shop. In the afternoon we went to play Tejo at the most most beautiful place. Thank you Andrea for such a great day!

Sarah was my tour guild. Great customer service, she took me to all the important areas in Medellín. She was always alert to make sure I felt safe. Nothing but professionalism from her. Any English speakers wanting to know the history of Medellín form an awesome guild, Sarah is the one.

I would definitely recommend Medellin Day Trips for a city tour. Firstly, my pre booking communication with Andres ( who runs the company) was excellent. He is very polite, informative, helpful and happy to answer any questions with patience and courtesy, He was even kind enough to arrange a pick up from the airport for me to start the city tour as i was flying in on the same day, My guide for the city tour was Alejandro. He was simply superb! He was knowledgable, cheery and an easy going, amiable person. I really enjoyed the fruit tasting part at the local market and experiencing the local transportation system. The Salon Malaga was a cool experience too and i enjoyed seeing the sculptures in Botero Square, I felt safe at all times and thoroughly enjoyed this overview of the city. Everyone in the company spoke excellent English and they truly look after their customers. If you are short of time and looking for excellent customer service, then please book with Medellin Day Trips, you will not be disappointed!

We took this tour with Alejandro in early April 2022. Alejandro is a very knowledgeable and personable host for this experience, and he kept up a running commentary about the background and history of everything we saw. I especially appreciated his insights into the conditions of life in the famous Comuna13 neighborhood. This is a poor and periodically dangerous area made famous by its mural and music art and by its association with Pablo Escobar. The tourist boom here has benefited the barrio unevenly, while the costs of crowding, traffic, etc are borne by all who live there. I feel like he helped us understand the place better, get under the surface a little, and also be better guests and not treat the place like a zoo. Really enjoyed the day and can’t recommend the tour enough.

I also am very impressed with Alejandro specifically. He was great company all day long, and a the end of the tour he gave us his WhatsApp info and invited us to ping him with any other questions we had while in Colombia. We took him up on that a few days later and he came through for us when he didn’t have to. Good, professional guy.
