City Tour Medellin
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.

Fantastic Coffee Tour in Medellin

5.00Our coffee tour with Oscar was one of our top 5 moments in over 50 years of world travel. The experience was absolutely amazing, we learned so much and had a laugh at the same time. The combination of Oscar sharing his extensive knowledge alongside the hands-on aspects (and delicious coffee) made this a must-do for anyone visiting Medellin. You will gain a whole new appreciation for coffee!
Medellin, statues and fruit

5.00We had an amazing time with Henry viewing the city. It started with him picking all 6 of us up from our AirBNB. We started by visiting a bustling local market. We had a fruit tasting there. Even the Colombians in the group tasted new fruits, it was almost all new to me and all of it was amazing, especially the hijo, the watermelon tasting fruit. We saw the house where Pablo Escobar met his fate and we learned some of the history surrounding the event. The downtown was still full of life even if we did our tour on a Sunday. I particularly enjoyed the statues donated to the city and learned that the Wall Street bull was also a donation from the same artist. Henry was really flxible with the tour so that my 84 yearold dad was also able to attend and enjoy Medellin. Thanks Henry.
First timer in Colombia with senior

5.00I decided on the 4 hour Medellin city tour because my Father is elderly and we did not want to do anything too strenuous. This was such a perfect way to see and learn about Colombia, its history, and people. Oscar took his time to explain everything to us from the moment he picked us up at our AirBnb. He made us feel extremely comfortable and my Father was especially happy to hear he spoke excellent English. Highly recommend to get a taste (literally tasted local fruits!!) of the local scenes and history of Medellin. Tip - book on a Sunday morning to avoid crowds!
Wonderful tour!!

5.00We were blown away by this tour!!! So much fun, so many things to do and we learned a lot about Medellín. Yuly was an exceptional tour guide! She was attentive, informative, fun and made us feel like family! There’s so much to see and do in the Comuna. Yuly never made us feel rushed and we always felt encouraged to take our time and soak in the experience. We would definitely book with her again!!!

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!
