Discover one of the most important cultures in Colombia : the Paisas. Medellin’s Historic Center is the best place to understand who we were and who we are today.
Walk through the city with local Paisa guides and learn how Medellin transformed a violent past marked by drug trafficking in the 1980s and 1990s into an innovative, inclusive, and resilient city. Through social investment and collective effort, Medellín reinvented itself as the City of Eternal Spring.
On this guided tour, we visit key spots such as Botero’s Square, Junín Street, La Alpujarra, and the Park of Lights, exploring art, culture, industry, and history without taboos.
The tour includes a professional wireless audio system, allowing you to clearly hear your guide while moving freely and taking photos, even on busy streets.
Important note: the audio system is not suitable for children under 15 and is not waterproof.
Join an authentic experience LED by passionate local guides connecting Colombia since 2013.

5.00We did the free tour of Medellin and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The tour was very well organized, with interesting stops that helped to understand the history, culture and transformation of the city. You can see the affection and respect with which each story is told, which makes the tour dynamic, close and very enriching. Daisy, our guide, was just fantastic. He explains very clearly, passionately and energetically, always attentive to answering questions and making sure we all felt comfortable and engaged. His knowledge, sympathy and love for Medellin make the tour even more special. It is certainly a highly recommended experience to get to know the city in an authentic and enjoyable way.
