    An unforgettable experience!

    This tour was one of the best adventures we have ever taken. Our driver, John, spoke excellent English, and kept us entertained and informed throughout the activity, even giving us a restaurant recommendation near our hotel, which was outstanding. And the tour of the Silleteros flower farm was incredible. The knowledge and experience of the owner was really appreciated, including his religious references to the equipment that he used. We will always cherish the time we spent on this great tour, and thank Trip Advisor for making it available to us.

    Response from the operator: Mark thank you so much for this incredibly kind and detailed review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your tour was one of the best adventures you've ever taken. John is indeed a star, and we're so proud to hear he kept you entertained and informed, and that his restaurant recommendation hit the mark! We'll be sure to pass along your wonderful compliments to him. The Silleteros flower farm truly is a special place, and we're delighted that you appreciated the owner's knowledge, experience, and unique insights. Creating cherished memories like yours is exactly what we aim for. Thank you again for choosing us, and for sharing your experience. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure someday!

    Highly Recommend!

    Their name says it all it was a Way cool tour with a way cool tour guide Lina! The booking process was smooth the staff went out of their way to help even with other advice on where to go and not. The Exotic Flowers Farm Sillereros tour was a delightful experience the flower family made me feel at home they were in their outfits and the farm was so colorful and full of flowers everywhere it seemed like something from a movie. Lina was my guide for all three tours she is an amazing human being not just a typical tour guide she has so much knowledge an overall beautiful person inside and out. Thanks to her I experienced a wonderful city with so much to offer I took other tours of theirs Santa Fe de Antioquia and Guatape with coffe villa tour and they gave me a discount since I wrote to them directly. All in all a wonderful time I would and will very highly recommend the folks at Way Cool for all of their tours and activities in Colombia.

    Wonderful Visit

    Jose Ignacio gave us a tour of his flower farm. He told us the history of the silleteros and the Medellin Flower Festival. It is a beautiful location in Santa Elena. We were lucky enough to have lunch there. It was delicious! It is a scenic 45 minute ride from Medellin. Don't miss this great tour!

    Paisa Culture and Silletas!!

    My tour was fantastic with Alex as my tour guide. My driver arrived 10minutes before time and I received a complimentary Colombian coffee at Avoeden Cafe, the coffee was delicious!! After my coffee we drove for 45minutes to Santa Elena, the landscape was beautiful and we made a quick stop to try corn cakes with fresh cheese and hot chocolate after that we visited a very authentic Flower farm own by a flower farmer and his wife we had a magnificent time learning the history of the silletas and seeing unique flowers. I strongly recommend this tour.

    Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.

    How much does Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $129 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.

    Is Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Medellín?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Medellín?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Medellín?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks; All Fees and Taxes; and Hotel pick up and drop off for guests that stay in Medellin only. Not included: Visit to Arvi's Park or entrance to Arvi's park; Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 90 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Exotic flowers farm and silleteros cultural tour offered in?
