Eye Opening Experience! - It took me over 6 months to plan this 6 day trip to Medellin. So many hotels and excursions to pick from. I kept changing my mind to maximize my stay. I usually start with a tour of the city, so we can figure out where to go. Tour of Medellin - "off the beaten path" was perfect. I highly recommend this tour so you can learn the history of the city and ask all the questions on where to go on your own, where is safe, best tours, local favorites, etc. This company has multiple trips, so check them out.
Erika, our tour guide, is always early, always smiling, always fun, and just a great person to be around. She picked us up at our hotel (she's always early) and showed us all around the city central. We went to the museums, parks, shopping areas, took the city tram, and a cable car. We learned so much about the history and culture. We stopped a few times for street food and coffee too. Buñuelos! Just big ball of cheesy goodness for sure. This tour is a must!
Tip: We wore shorts, and NO ONE does. It seems that only tourists do. I get hot, so I wore shorts. Medellin, everyone wears jeans or pants, and tops/shirts. Wear a good pair of walking shoes.

An amazing tour of the city center - Our tour with Erika was nothing short of AMAIZING. She promptly picked us up at our hotel and gave us an tour of the city. We started in the city center where she explained the history of Medellin to us. During our time in the city center she offered the option to change one of our stops to visit Commune 13. Since we were short on time (we were only in the city for the weekend) she mentioned that this was a must see part of the city. Boy were we glad that she gave us this option. Commune 13 was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Medellin. While there we had the opportunity to try the best local empanadas and Colombian delicacy's we had during our trip. We also saw some of the amazing art in the area. We loved it.
Our tour with Erika was perfect, we would highly recommend that you plan your tours in Medellin with MedellinDayTrips.

Perfect Introduction to Medellin! - The private tour was exactly what we needed! Alejandro (Alejo) was a very knowledgeable tour guide and gave us a mountain of information regarding each thing we saw & place we visited. Alejo provided us with a true five star experience. He also provided some of his experiences living in Medellin for many years. Our daughter wasn't feeling her best so we asked Alejo to tailor the tour somewhat - which he was more than willing. The tour company is definitely a class above so many others.

Art and history dream tour - Erika was our tour guide and we could not have been in better company!
We visited the Botero plaza, el centro, the Museum of memory and then a trip on the city tram where we experienced striking views of Medellin.
Erika is so knowledgeable and made the experience so much richer.
We left even more in love with Medellin and its spirit of resilience and love. Thank you Erika!

Outstanding tour full of history - If you like history and art, this tour is for you. We visited Memory Museum and it was a very moving experience. We also saw Botero statues and learned a lot about history of this region. Erika, our guide, really loves her country and shared so many interesting details with us. She was amazing, make sure to request her, you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent private tour - This is the perfect day tour of Medellin. Our tour guide Alejo Duque was everything we could ask for. Alejo met us on-time at our hotel for pick up. He made sure we had all of our needs met before beginning the tour. The tour lasts about 5-6 hours long. Prepare yourself to walk! Time will go by very quickly seeing and visiting all of the sites. It rained off an on throughout the day and we had a great time nonetheless. at one time, while seeking shelter from the rain, Alejo took us to a historical pub in the city where we could stop and grab a drink while enjoying the history and beauty of teh downtown area. From beginning to end, the whole day is really unforgettable. If you are wanting to get to know Medellin, book this tour. Alejo, again, thank you!!

Great Personalized Tour - Andres was an amazing tour guide! What I love about Medellín Day trips is you can customize your tour to be what you want. Andres was so personable and knowledgeable. This was my second time doing the city tour and he showed us a few things I had not seen before. He even let me have my 1/2 hour in the museum shop. In the afternoon we went to play Tejo at the most most beautiful place. Thank you Andrea for such a great day!

Enjoyable and Insightful City Tour - I would definitely recommend Medellin Day Trips for a city tour. Firstly, my pre booking communication with Andres ( who runs the company) was excellent. He is very polite, informative, helpful and happy to answer any questions with patience and courtesy, He was even kind enough to arrange a pick up from the airport for me to start the city tour as i was flying in on the same day, My guide for the city tour was Alejandro. He was simply superb! He was knowledgable, cheery and an easy going, amiable person. I really enjoyed the fruit tasting part at the local market and experiencing the local transportation system. The Salon Malaga was a cool experience too and i enjoyed seeing the sculptures in Botero Square, I felt safe at all times and thoroughly enjoyed this overview of the city. Everyone in the company spoke excellent English and they truly look after their customers. If you are short of time and looking for excellent customer service, then please book with Medellin Day Trips, you will not be disappointed!
