Wonderful and Friendly
Very friendly people getting you to the airport, speak very good English if needed. Wonderful view of the city, each seat is perfect and even one person sits in the copilot spot. Would recommend for anyone!

We will include a discount for your next helicopter tour if you wish to do Guatape. Please keep us posted! Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services®

Stunning views of the city
I would've given this tour five stars. Except for the fact that there was absolutely no narration . You got to check a box if you wanted to tour in English or Spanish . However, it didn't matter, the pilot uttered not a word. Someone else on the tour, a local, said she had taken this tour before with other guests. She said they used to narrate the whole tour. She said there was lots to point out. several sacred mountains, historic buildings, and other interesting areas of town. But all we saw was the view not knowing what we were looking at. Too bad this would have been awesome.
Response from the operator: Dear Sonoranventures, Thanks for the feedback, we'll keep in mind for next tours and hope you visit us again soon. Looking forward, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

BEST HELICOPTER AND CITY TOUR EVER!!!
The helicopter tour was such a beautiful experience. The view was breathtaking! The staff from beginning to end were great! Our city tour guide Wilson was out of this world amazing!! He was as wonderful of a tour guide one could have here in Medellin! You MUST request Wilson. His knowledge of the city's rich history is second to none. He will most certainly give you an authentic view of Medelline and take you places that most tourists wouldn't think of. The locals, both young and old expressed there admiration for Wilson everywhere we went. This experience definitely made the best day for us out of our 7 day stay in Medelline.
Response from the operator: Dear Mia, Thanks a lot for your comment, means all to us. It is quite rewarding to know this has been your best tour ever due to guide´s experience and broad knowledge. We´ll be pleased to show you more Medellin and surroundings on your next visit, please keep us posted. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

Highlight of our trip!
We just did the helicopter tour and it was so incredible. Medellin is a beautiful, sprawling city but its hard to grasp just how big it is unless you see it from above! The pick up from our hostel was really easy to organize and Manuel (our guide) was right on time. He too was very friendly and chatted with us the whole ride about Colombia - it was really interesting to speak to a local about his city and everything its been through. The flight itself was breathtaking and smooth! I wish I could have stayed up there for hours.. 100% you should book this tour - it was one of, if not, the best event on our 2 week trip!
Response from the operator: Dear Nicci, Thanks for your words, they are all to us. Fantastic to know this flight was the highlight of your trip. We´ll be glad to serve you again soon. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation cost?
+
Prices start at $399 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 Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation take?
+
Plan for about 0.3 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 Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation?
+
Around 4 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 0.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Medellin Helicopter Flight with private transportation 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.

+
Included: 10-minutes helicopter flight; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Transport by air-conditioned coach, minivan or car (depending on the group size). Not included: Gratuities; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
