It took me over 6 months to plan this 6 day trip to Medellin. So many hotels and excursions to pick from. I kept changing my mind to maximize my stay. I usually start with a tour of the city, so we can figure out where to go. Tour of Medellin - "off the beaten path" was perfect. I highly recommend this tour so you can learn the history of the city and ask all the questions on where to go on your own, where is safe, best tours, local favorites, etc. This company has multiple trips, so check them out. Erika, our tour guide, is always early, always smiling, always fun, and just a great person to be around. She picked us up at our hotel (she's always early) and showed us all around the city central. We went to the museums, parks, shopping areas, took the city tram, and a cable car. We learned so much about the history and culture. We stopped a few times for street food and coffee too. Buñuelos! Just big ball of cheesy goodness for sure. This tour is a must! Tip: We wore shorts, and NO ONE does. It seems that only tourists do. I get hot, so I wore shorts. Medellin, everyone wears jeans or pants, and tops/shirts. Wear a good pair of walking shoes.

Our tour with Erika was nothing short of AMAIZING. She promptly picked us up at our hotel and gave us an tour of the city. We started in the city center where she explained the history of Medellin to us. During our time in the city center she offered the option to change one of our stops to visit Commune 13. Since we were short on time (we were only in the city for the weekend) she mentioned that this was a must see part of the city. Boy were we glad that she gave us this option. Commune 13 was one of the most memorable parts of our trip to Medellin. While there we had the opportunity to try the best local empanadas and Colombian delicacy's we had during our trip. We also saw some of the amazing art in the area. We loved it. Our tour with Erika was perfect, we would highly recommend that you plan your tours in Medellin with MedellinDayTrips.

The private tour was exactly what we needed! Alejandro (Alejo) was a very knowledgeable tour guide and gave us a mountain of information regarding each thing we saw & place we visited. Alejo provided us with a true five star experience. He also provided some of his experiences living in Medellin for many years. Our daughter wasn't feeling her best so we asked Alejo to tailor the tour somewhat - which he was more than willing. The tour company is definitely a class above so many others.

Erika was our tour guide and we could not have been in better company! We visited the Botero plaza, el centro, the Museum of memory and then a trip on the city tram where we experienced striking views of Medellin. Erika is so knowledgeable and made the experience so much richer. We left even more in love with Medellin and its spirit of resilience and love. Thank you Erika!
