    Get out of Medellin for the day

    Santa Fe was a lovely city. I enjoyed my time with Daniel as he was an excellent guide, host, and driver. I would certainly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to get out of Medellin for the day.

    Response from the operator: Dear Jeff_P, Thank you so much, we are glad to know you would certainly recommend this tour due to guide`s expertise and customization. Please let us know when you are coming back. Best regards, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

    Santa Fe de Antioquia is a must see

    Thank you Juan!!!! What a trip? The place is stunning and a must see. I highly recommend it. If you have the opportunity ask them to schedule you with Juan. He knows the history of the place. The best places to eat and shopping and he never rushes you!!!!

    Response from the operator: Dear viviane_t, Many thanks for the comment, we are glad you were able to enjoy a full day tour in this memorable town. Definitely an experience worth coming back. Look forward to your soon return. Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

    We were asked to start an...

    We were asked to start an hour later- at 9 am rather than 8 am. We did not visit San Jeronimo at all (included in the itinerary). Our guide was sick. He coughed the entire trip and that has bothered us since we are on a 25 day trip and don’t want to get sick. He spent much of the time on his phone, too. Santafe de Antioquia was charming, though. Price was too high for what we received. Basically just transportation. Uber would have been better.

    Response from the operator: Dear barbara_m, Thanks for the feedback, sorry to hear it did not go as planned. A full refund has been issued and you will see within 1-3 business days. Please apologize any inconvenience. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

    Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport cost?

    +

    Prices start at $170 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 Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 24 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 Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport?

    +

    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 Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport?

    +

    Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport 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 Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Driver/guide. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase); Food and drinks, unless specified; Gratuities; and LUNCH NOT INCLUDED. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Is Full-Day Private Colonial Santa Fe de Antioquia Tour w/transport wheelchair or stroller accessible?
