About this tour

Medellín does not open up from the window of a crowded tour bus. It opens up walking through Botero Plaza among 23 monumental bronze sculptures, riding up to the Pueblito Paisa to see the whole Aburrá Valley at once, and hearing a local explain how a city that was once the most dangerous in the world became the one urban planners now fly in to study. Our city tour is fully private: the vehicle is yours alone and the route bends to your pace, not the other way around.

We pick you up at your hotel or Airbnb in an air-conditioned SUV and spend 4 to 5 hours in the historic and cultural heart of the City of Eternal Spring: Bolívar Park, the Metropolitan Cathedral (the largest raw-brick church in the world), the Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture, the Ríos parks and the Pueblito Paisa viewpoint. Stop wherever you want, take all the photos you want, and ask anything you like along the way.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Medellín city tour cost?
It is USD $85 (roughly $350,000 COP) for the whole vehicle, up to 4 people — not per person. With four travellers that works out to under USD $22 each, including private transport, a professional driver and hotel pickup.
How long is it and what time does it start?
It runs 4 to 5 hours and you choose the start time. We recommend a morning start (8-9 a.m.) so you get the historic centre with good light and fewer crowds, but we work around your schedule.
Is the tour in English?
Our drivers are native Spanish speakers who handle conversational English well for the key points of the route. If you want a fully bilingual guide, tell us on WhatsApp when you book and we will arrange one.
What should I bring?
Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, some cash for souvenirs or snacks, and a camera or phone with free space — between Botero Plaza and the Pueblito Paisa you will take a lot of photos.
