Its inhabitants have endured numerous armed clashes and massacres involving the FARC, drug traffickers, paramilitaries and military forces, all fighting for control of the territory. We will leave the bikes and set off on foot through the alleys of Comuna 13 to discover the stories of resilience that have reborn this neighborhood. We will see how urban art has become a powerful tool for transformation and discuss the leaders who have done so much for the community.

A very good local experience, with multiple & colorful aspects
Nice discovery of the city by elec bike with Santiago. Various experience (neighborhoods, market, monuments, meetings & coffee/choco tasting) & cultural/historical richness... shared with local guide Santiago. An urban experience to recommend. Besides, Santiago & Tom are not greedy with tips to discover other corners of this huge & lively city, and other stages in Colombia

Fun adventure in Medellin
The trip was a blast and Santiago was an amazing guide. Our family leared a lot about the history of the city and loved riding around, mostly on bike lanes which was great. I'd highly recommend this fun day, especially with teenagers.

a tour in the heart of Medellin with Tom
We loved our family visit to Medellin with Tom. He explained everything about the city, history, culture, gastronomy... of Medellin. It was like an immersive journey full of surprises and discoveries. We recommend him 100% and will not hesitate to call on him for a future visit. Thank you Tom it was great and magical

Adventure in Medellin
An awesome tour perfectly organized and exciting in Medellin, discovering the history, culture and sites determining the identity of this city teeming with energy. Tom greeted us with his smile and communicative enthusiasm, his knowledge and his generosity. Our guide Santiago perfectly bilingual described his city by addressing the various aspects, historical, artistic, cultural, geographical and political, also highlighting all that has been achieved to ensure that youth evolve in a healthy and sporting way. The great electric bikes allowed us to win the Comuna 13, its maze of alleys with incredible frescoed houses, its population and history, a coffee and cocoa tasting and the elaboration of these delicious beverages to complete this fantastic day prepared by Tom and his team. Pure happiness and a great experience to live in reserve!!!

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Medellín: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Medellín: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13 cost?
+
Prices start at $94 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: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13 take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 39 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: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13?
+
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: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Medellín: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13?
+
Around 14 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Medellín: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13 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: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13?
+
Included: Local-Expert Guide; Graffiti-Tour of Comuna 13; Bottled water; A helmet; and Rainwear. Not included: Lunch; and Exotic Fruit Tasting (optional). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Medellín: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13 offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Medellín: Electric Bike Tour, Centre, Point of Sale and Comuna 13?
