    Tour was good but ad was very deceptive

    When looking up All day tours in Medallin this tour came up. The price given was very deceptive. Showed a much lower price with not an indication that was dependent on how many people book. We would have never taken a tour the cost $200 for a 4 hour tour. The category was misleading when we were looking for the tour. Our tour guide was Carlos and he did a very good job. He was bi lingual and was very good at explaining the history of the city. There were definitely other better priced tours that would have accomplished the same thing. We had priced other tours that were private also that were a lot less money. We used one the day before and it was very good and half the money and 8 hours. Just be careful on when you do the check out that it is exactly what it was advertised to be.

    Response from the operator: Dear Ltd130, Thanks for the comparison, you are right there are better priced tours in Medellin since there are so many choices besides uber and unlicensed college students offering tours as well. It is not just the fact that you are touring with a licensed guide here, but also you are properly insured throughout the journey and this implies costs that rookies do not incur. As you mentioned, Carlos is very good at explaining the history of the city and is perhaps the only guide in Medellin who, as a former police officer chasing narcos, he knows what is talking about. This experience has a markup that is not easy to assimilate when you are just comparing prices. We hope you understand, and if there is anything we can do to kindly get your 5 star review please advice, we`ll be attentive to your instructions. Sincerely, Camilo Uribe Medellin City Services

    Medellin Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Medellin Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza cost?

    +

    Prices start at $166 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 Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza 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 Medellin Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 3 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 Medellin Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza?

    +

    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 Medellin Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza 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 Medellin Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza?

    +

    Around 1 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 Medellin Squares Full Day Tour w/transport including Botero Plaza 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.
