My favorite tour in Medellin! - I had the most incredible experience on this cultural tour of Medellín! From the very beginning, our guide stood out for their thoughtfulness and deep knowledge of the city. They took us to areas that most tourists would never get to see, giving us an authentic glimpse into the true heart of Medellín. The highlight for me was the vibrant dancing and music—completely mesmerizing and a real reflection of the city's lively spirit and rich traditions.
What sets this tour apart from the others is the genuine focus on Medellín’s culture. It's not your typical sightseeing tour; instead, it dives deep into the music, the people, and the artistic soul of the city. You come away with a greater appreciation for the cultural layers that make Medellín so special. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an unforgettable and unique experience. This is a tour you cannot miss—it’s a window into the soul of the city that you won’t find anywhere else!

Very different and exciting night tour! - This was one of the most exciting city tours I've done in Colombia. Our guide took us to downtown Medellin at night, which was exhilarating for me since everyone knows the downtown area is not safe for tourists at night time! If this is a concern to you, I recommend you don't partake in this particular tour. However, if you're open-minded and are willing to take the risk, something like this can turn out to be a lot of fun! We ended up having drinks on some street downtown with nothing but locals hang out. I did not see a single tourist in that area, and it was just great! We got to ride the metro at night which was also exciting! I will admit, this type of activity is not for everyone, but if do this with an open mind, you might end up having a lot of fun! 5 out of 5 stars from me!

A tour you don't want to miss! - My husband and I got married in Colombia and we took our families out on the Pasado, Presente y Futuro tour to learn about Comuna 13. It was an absolutely incredible experience and we had about 13 people in our group. They coordinated transportation for us and our Tour Guide, Santiago, was an AMAZING guide and even a better story teller! He shared his own lived experience and allowed us to truly engage in meaningful conversations. Santi and the rest of the NOMAD team made us feel taken care of and ensured we enjoyed our time together. Whether you are looking to do this trip solo or with a group, I strongly recommend NOMAD. They were excellent and extremely flexible to fit our needs.

Excellent experience! - Nomad Travel was easy to schedule & book with! Furthermore, the response time was phenomenal! ✅
Andres was a hospitable, respectful, & good-natured tour guide (who was truly a Columbian native)! 💯 He is an individual who is down-to-earth that wants to show you the unique parts of Medellín that you may have never known or stumbled upon. He is very knowledgeable and a personable individual that wants to see you have a great time! He is both fluent in English and Spanish. I'm very fortunate to have found him.
I highly recommend the "One Night In the Center of Medellín", "Explore Guatapé", & "Paragliding".
If you're looking for a great tour guide, give Andres a try!

Solo tour - An overall great experience for a single guy with an adventurous spirit or for friends, couples & families. Tour guide was great, especially exploring the central plaza and comuna13. First time trying an Arepa was a phenomenal experience as well. Will definitely come back!

Best Night in Medellin - This was an amazing night. Gabriel was my guide and being a solo female traveler he brought his female friend which just set the night off. We started off at Salón Málaga which is a history tango bar and it was a lot of fun. After we hit two other dance clubs and danced with authentic people. To top the night of we had Gourmet hot dogs.(I offend them my asking for mustard and ketchup only) that was so good. As a solo traveler this was the best tour for partying in a very safe way. Gabriel and Manuela showed me the best night I’ve had since COVID. Thank you!!!

Wonderful trip to town center Friday evening - Wow, what an experience! We started off with a drink from a rooftop bar in the town center (not part of the original itinerary but we all chose to do this) with a great view of the city and allowing the group to get a chance to get acquainted better with each other. Then we embarked on our journey of exploring the Centro neighborhood, hanging out at the square where Bohemians, artists, and people from all walks of life were congregated and simply having fun! Then we went went to a gallery/bar watching live rap performance and meeting Andre's friends. All the places where Andre took us felt very safe and was exciting at the same time - so much so that even after the official tour ended at 11 pm we didn't leave the area until 2 am! If you want to get a real flavor of a part of the city and the people you would normally not get to know as a visitor I would recommend going on this experience and finding out another reason that makes this city so special. In my week long stay in Medellin this was clearly the highlight of my trip!

See another side to Medellín - Enjoyed my time with Daniel, another of the tour guides. He is a native paisa, knowledgeable about the city and described it from his perspective as an architect. Highly recommend, especially as a chill night activity.

a MUST - The tour with Andres is a MUST for someone who wants to experience real Medellin at night and want a fun evening that goes beyond partying. You get to visit the Centro at night, a neighbourhood that you probably won't go if it wasn't with a local. You get to see cultural life with a different perspective. Live music, photo exhibits and if you are lucky dancing to finish the night. Highly recommend it!

The Cultural Side of The City Center! - Our trip with Andres to the City Center of Medellín was excellent! He showed us a side of the city we would have never discovered on our own. If you want a truly authentic experience with a local, Andres at Nomad is the guide for you. He took us to local bars and cultural houses where he provided us with an extensive history of the area all while enjoying a few beers. There’s no better way to learn about the city! Andres is super fun to hang out with and passionate about what he does. I highly recommend this tour.
