Great Way to Experience Medellin - I really enjoyed the private city tour of Medellin with Oscar. We were able to see so much but it in no way felt rushed. I especially enjoyed our time in Communa 13 - what a fascinating place. Oscar is so knowledgeable about the city and its culture and he is really personable and fun. I had a great time!
Definitely recommend booking this tour if you are visiting Medellin.

Amazing tour of Medellin Highlights - We had an amazing time on our tour with Oskar and learned so much about Medellín! Oskar picked us up right from our hotel and made the whole experience seamless. Our first stop was Botero Square, which was incredible. Oskar had such a wealth of knowledge about the artist and shared the fascinating history behind each bronze statue. We then explored some of the city’s coolest buildings and enjoyed seeing beautiful art along the way. The highlight at the end was a visit to a local fruit stand, where we got to try so many delicious fruits—most of which were completely new to us.
Overall, this was a 5-star experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín!

Wonderful tour with our guide, Oscar!✨ - We had an amazing guide, ✨Oscar ✨, who ensured our experience was top notch (including going off piste for some delicious arepas). This tour was beyond worth it as the depth of Oscar’s knowledge and context he shared about each stop on the tour was incredible. Make time for this tour, you will love it! Oscar had brought umbrellas for us too (but your rain jacket might still come in handy!) ✨

Excellent way to see Medellin - Luis was an excellent tour guide. We learned a lot about Medellin which I had last visited in 1964, before the guerilla wars in Antioquia. It was great to ride the newish Medtro system as well as the cable car. Since most of the tour was in a vehicle we were able to see much more of the city than if we'd taken a primarily walking tour.
