Overview
Available languages
4 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
You can visit the city and enjoy it to your liking, however, having the company of a local will always make a noticeable difference. The curious facts, the history, the reality, the past, the present and the possible future are better dimensioned when you are with someone who has lived in Medellin.
On Monday, the museum house of the memory is closed, due to maintenance, therefore, we visit the art gallery of the National Palace instead.
We are passionate about visiting the city again and again, it will always be different because each person gives you unique moments and therefore generates special memories.

What To Expect
Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture
The Palace of Culture is a treasure based on its architecture. It looks attractive and different in a center adapted to this modern era, but discovering its interior a little and appreciating the view from its terrace, it is beautiful.
Plaza Botero
Plaza Botero is within the cultural area of the center. Appreciating art through the hands of Fernando Botero is an invaluable gift that this artist has made to his city to be part of what is now the new Medellin.

5.00Oscar was the perfect tour host to explore the history and beauty of Medellin. Every stop was perfect, but the highlight was the visit to Comuna 13 - a fully alive, colorful, and exhilarating community that recognizes the horrors of the past but celebrates life! Thank you Oscar!
Walked right into the history of Medellin!

5.00Our private city tour on Nov 3rd, was eye opening. Oscar, our guide, was very knowledgeable, personable, and fun! He provided us with an insiders look into the history of the city, as well as the stories behind the building architecture and art of Botero. More, we had a deeply moving visit to the memory museum on the tour and a tasty visit to a fruit market - both an absolute must. Strongly recommend this tour and Oscar, if you visit Medellin! In fact, this was our second tour with Oscar on our trip!
Best tour!!

5.00I had the pleasure of going on a city tour with my guide, Andres, and it was nothing short of amazing! He was incredibly attentive, making sure I was comfortable and engaged throughout the entire tour. What really stood out was Andres' deep knowledge of the local culture, history, and hidden gems. He shared fascinating insights and stories that truly brought the city to life. We had a blast at Botero Square, where Andres pointed out all the quirky details of the sculptures, making the visit way more interesting than I could have imagined. We also ventured through Comuna 13, and I have to say, Andres made walking through the area feel so much easier and more enjoyable. His insights into the transformation of the neighborhood and the street art gave me a deeper appreciation for the place. One of the highlights of the day was the fruit tasting – I got to try some exotic, delicious fruits that I would have never discovered on my own! We also stopped at a local coffee shop (that just opened two days ago!) and tried out fantastic coffee. Andres went above and beyond, not just guiding me but ensuring I had a personalized experience that felt both educational and fun. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. 5/5!! Andres is the best!

5.00I really enjoyed the private city tour of Medellin with Oscar. We were able to see so much but it in no way felt rushed. I especially enjoyed our time in Communa 13 - what a fascinating place. Oscar is so knowledgeable about the city and its culture and he is really personable and fun. I had a great time! Definitely recommend booking this tour if you are visiting Medellin.

5.00We had an amazing time on our tour with Oskar and learned so much about Medellín! Oskar picked us up right from our hotel and made the whole experience seamless. Our first stop was Botero Square, which was incredible. Oskar had such a wealth of knowledge about the artist and shared the fascinating history behind each bronze statue. We then explored some of the city’s coolest buildings and enjoyed seeing beautiful art along the way. The highlight at the end was a visit to a local fruit stand, where we got to try so many delicious fruits—most of which were completely new to us. Overall, this was a 5-star experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín!
