We’ll continue our walking tour through diverse downtown streets, eventually reaching the Tram. Next, hop aboard the unique cable metro for an innovative travel experience, bridging together city neighborhoods. Botero Park is next up, showcasing over 20 aesthetic sculptures for our enjoyment.

Super fun 💯 Costa Rica 🇨🇷 ✌🏻 - I liked it a lot 🥰 I met places, we rode the subway 🚉 by the way my husband almost got thrown out 🤣he couldn't stop laughing, on the cable subway 🚡 we pushed him first (Steven) 😅🤣 We met spectacular people, Yuri's mom and husband, Patty from Peru and her family, made a friend, with the Mexican 🥰 we gave a life to Jhon our guide. He was pure hesitation, excellent guide, he explained everything to us on the way .. This company is excellent and its collaborators are a 💯 for them ♥️

Masterful excursion - Excellent tour with César and Daniel, who masterfully explained every detail of our destinations to us. Destinations that reflected the culture and art of Medallo. Spectacular views from the metro cable

Fantastic tour - Our diver Kevin kept us safe. Daniel was doing the tour in both English and Spanish which was well appreciated. The Botero park was quite interesting. We took a ride in the Metro and was quite impressed with the Metrocable which is an actual mode of transportation for the local Colombians. Loved it. Thanks Daniel and Kevin

Worst tour I have ever been on - And I have been on many. - Can you call this a tour? Seems to me like wandering around with fake friends. There is nothing you can’t just do on your own for just about 40 000 pesos if you are alone or about 44 000 pesos for two people (under 6 USD) - so why would you pay 20 USD extra for bad company and wasted time? First you leave in an uncomfortable school bus with no windows and no A/C with a young tour guide that tells you the tour is about having fun and she want maie you loose your time by talking a lot because you will forget what she said by tomorrow anyways (how unprofessional? - why am I paying for a guided tour if I can just UBER around and do stuff on my own without waiting for people?) First stop was Pueblito Paisa, a replica of an old town located on top of a hill that is basically a main square with a non functional fountain a a bunch of tourist shops on two deserted streets. It takes less then 20 min to get there. They give you 30 minutes there, took me about 5 to see that there was nothing to see there and then I waited on a bench. The yellow taxi to go up there there is 7000 pesos each side. Then we left in the bus with music way too loud like we were on a party bus to go visit a bunch of clubs late at night with some drunk young adults, the thing is there were a bunch of travellers in their 60s on that tour, this was totally inappropriate and she didn’t ask for our opinion, all we could do is listen to her singing loud until we got to metro station Cisneros (it was only 4km-about 15min- but felt like forever with that distorted noise). Then we go at the station and wait forever for the guide to wait in line to buy us tickets for the metro (about 1$) and then we take the metro for 5 stations to Saint-Javier station. Then we wait in line to take the cable car and we have to split because it’s about 8 persons per cabin. Basically, half the group is left alone with no guide and she tells those people to get off at a station and to cross over to come back, all of that is done on their own, what’s the point to pay for a guide that just tells you where to take a metro and a t what station to get off and then jump on again to go back? The other half of the group was stuck with her telling us how whe is scared of heights and hates it ( not my problem). On the way back, half the group got in a cabin, the other half- except me- got in another cabin but because it was full I had to wait for another one. I waited for less then two minutes, and when I got down at Saint-Javier the group had left. Fun. I think the only thing that was left was Botero park and once again they were going there by public transport and I am sure she was just saying « Hey, you have 30 minutes to enjoy ». I was not interested to do that, because I already visited it in the morning, but this is just no reason to leave me behind without me saying goodbye I am done for this tour. I was insulted that they just left me there when I was on my way. I also feel like some people pretending to be a tour operator stole my money without providing proper service. Also, there is no reason to call that a city tour, this is not a city tour at all, so don’t pretend to be. There is no way I am letting someone steal my money so easily without sharing with people my experience. Please avoid this at all costs. They are not interested to give you a proper tour of Medellin (Pueblito Paisa, a short metro ride, a cable car ride and Botero plaza is not a tour of Medellin, it’s a tourist trap and a covered way to steal tourist’s money.
