    Medellin Michelin tour

    This tour company and guide was recommended to us from family who had taken it previously. Having never been to Medellín, this exceeded our expectations in both content, customization and personality. Our guide, Alejo , completely customized this experience based on our interests and backgrounds. He could speak across numerous genres and has traveled the country extensively leveraging his world experience into the unique history only found in Medellín. Don’t look for any other company than this one!!!!

    Awesome Guide and City Tour

    My husband and I went on this tour with our friend. We were contacted the night before with the pickup time and name of guide. Natalia was very knowledgeable and explained everything about the city as we drove past. We rode the cable cars, walked up and down Comuna 13, stopped at a local farmers market, and a memorial park for the victims of Pablo Escobar. It was great having Natalia to help translate and add information to what we were looking at. We expected the tour to last 3-4 hours but Natalia had us scheduled for 6 hours. Just something to clarify if you’re on a timetable. Overall we had a great time!

    Best tour guide to do the most relevant tour in Medellin

    This was our second tour in Medellin with Andres and equally rewording as the first one in the Concordia region. The tour was performed by a local that lives in communes 13 and raises a young child as a single mother, walking up stairs every day. She showed her neighborhood with pride, we listened to the stories behind the beautiful graffiti, visited selected galleries, took elevators and walked stairs. Andres offered additional point of views, showed us former gangs members making an honest living selling goods for tourists. Again having a guide like Andres who knows the history, respects the local culture and loves his city was invaluable. So glad we do this with him. On the way to communas 13 we made an important stop at the Parque Conmemorativo Inflexión which was built by the government in memory of all victims of Escobar. Getting the right aspects of this sad phase of columbias history was very valuable. Thank you for a memorable experience.

    Enjoyable and informative Medellin Tour

    We had a great time on the Comuna 13 and city tour. Andres was an excellent guide and took a great deal of pride in the city! I especially enjoyed the Comuna 13 tour. It was so interesting and informative! If you are heading to Medellin, definitely book this tour. It’s one of the highlights of our visit.

    Medellin visit

    The city was very green and beautiful, surrounded by mountains. I did a city tour and some horse back riding with Andres of Land Adventures and he was a great great guide. He provided excellent opportunities and commentary. I would highly recommend a tour with him. I never felt unsafe in Medellin. Just for comparison, the homicide rate is 16 per 100,000 as compared to Baltimore Maryland USA which is 50+ per hundred thousand.

    Response from the operator: Yes, we´re making great progress and hopefully, lots of potential travelers get your message and travel with us. : )

    Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $105 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 Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Medellín & Comuna 13 Private 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 Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Medellín & Comuna 13 Private 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 Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Snacks; In-vehicle air conditioning; Private/public transportation from your hotel to Comuna 13 and tour with local guide in Co; and Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 15 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Medellín & Comuna 13 Private Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
