Six ways to get to know the city with expert local guides, always private. Pick one or combine them over several days.
History and culture: from the old Medellín to today’s
We walk the historic centre, the places where the city’s story was decided and the neighbourhoods that explain today’s Medellín. A tour to understand how a city went from the most dangerous in the world to a model of urban innovation in a single generation.
Street art, memory and neighbourhood life with a local guide
Comuna 13 with someone who knows it from the inside: the escalators, the graffiti and the stories behind every wall. No rush, with stops at the neighbourhood’s own businesses and time to talk to the people who live there.
Markets, fondas and neighbourhood kitchens
Markets, fondas and neighbourhood kitchens. We taste what Medellín eats every day, from the breakfast arepa to dessert, and tell you where each thing comes from. A tour to understand Colombia through its food.
The city from above, by day or at sunset
Medellín sits in a valley and looks best from its slopes. We go up to the viewpoints with the finest views, by day or at sunset, with the cable car as part of the ride. The best way to understand how the city is built.
The Peñol rock, the town of painted zócalos and a chocolate workshop
We leave Medellín for Guatapé: the climb up the Peñol rock, the town of colourful zócalos and a chocolate workshop to finish. A full day out of the city, in a very small group and without the queues of the mass tours.
Tango, salsa, vallenato and reggaeton: the city in songs
Tango, salsa, vallenato and reggaeton: Medellín also tells its story in songs. A route through the bars, squares and neighbourhoods where music is made and heard, with someone who lives the scene.
