Additional Information

If you delve into the history and present of Medellín, you will understand why it has seen such phenomena as economic prosperity, past violence and subsequent pacification. Our agency uses the approach and techniques of journalism, so participating in our tours is an experience very close to making a report. For years we have studied and explored the city and all the information we have collected will be transmitted to you in a super fun way. You will enjoy the most representative places in the city and listen to the stories that allow you to understand its historical and cultural value.

Each traveler will receive a copy of “Medellín Up Close – Medellín de cerca”, an artistic book created by our team, which was awarded by the Ministry of Culture of Colombia.

Greatest Medellin City Tour in the Market! - Amazing! Hands down the best city tour in Medellin! I have been in 4 different city tours now with different friends and different companies and this was easily the best one out there! First of all, it’s the only one where you get a book off ALL the spots you could potentially visit (I say potentially because our guide Fabian Escobar let us prioritize spots re REALLY wanted to see or nix certain spots we didn’t really care for!), Our guide was not just knowledgeable of Medellin but local and world history which made the tour worth every second! Occasionally we would ask to stop and try a local street food or vendor and Fabian would just adjust the tour to the area or closest landmark we could see! The man is amazing! Not a second went by that I didn’t feel like I wasn’t learning something! Not to mention he always offered to take pictures for us and made sure we all got to see the things we really wanted to see! The search is over! I not only highly recommend this tour but will be doing it again myself!
