About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- thomaswQ7265HS0 contributionsTotally Worth It!This was a great full day trip from Medellin. The food stops were nice - traditional Colombian fair. Make sure to ask for the homemade hot sauce (salsa picante)! The rock was very impressive - and not for the faint of heart to climb the 700+ steps. My calves were screaming for a few days afterward, lol. It is a very beautiful area as well! The trip to Guatape after is also amazing. What a beautiful little town! Lots of shopping opportunities for everything, not just souveniers. Our guide, Marlon, was quite entertaining, and also very informative about everything. See if you can beat his time up the rock ;)Written 8 February 2025

He expressed his gratitude for all of us deciding to visit Colombia and it was a very heartfelt moment. The bus was nice and well kept. The included breakfast and lunch was delicious. It was good quality food and the portions were good size. We had plenty of time to spend at each location on this tour. Overall, this tour was a tremendous value for the price.

Excellent experience with Mateo as our guide. I recommend asking for him by name if you want an English-speaking guide. He can tell you as much or as little as you want about history and culture.
We have three kids—one of them a toddler—and all of us enjoyed this tour. From departure to return, the tour took 5 hours. Some of that was time navigating Medellin’s Saturday morning traffic, but this driving tour was a great way to better know a city.

Our guide Edgar was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the city. He drove two of us all for the entire tour. There was no wasted time on this tour and is recommended if you’d like to know the major parts of the city in one day.

Hector fue nuestro guia. Fue puntual al recojernos a nuestro hotel, nos dio una pequena charla inicial de lo que ibamos a ver y visitar. Durante el recorrido nos hablo sobre la historia de la ciudad y de su gente. Siempre fue caballeroso, paciente, conversador, amigable, nos enseno los mejores spots para fotografias, souvenirs, y nos llevo a tomar las limonadas mas deliciosas que hemos probado en la Comuna 13. Cumplio con todo su itinerario y excedio las expectativas que teniamos para el tour. Lo recomendamos 100%!!!

He showed us the best spots for pictures, souvenirs, and introduced us to the most delicious lemonades we've ever tasted in Comuna 13.

The tour was fantastic and made extra special by my guide Hector! He is amazing and showed me so many interesting, fun, and exciting things! His knowledge of Medellin, the area, the locations, and the history of the people is top notch! He made it a very fun, informative tour! I loved Communa 13, the Botero statues in the plaza downtown, and the views from the cable car was spectacular and interesting. Hector's passion for Medellin, and sharing it with others truly made it a very special day! I will recommend Hector and this tour to all my friends and family!

As Travel Agents we wanted to live the experience of doing the Private Tour of Medellin, and it is really worth it from the start! Our guide Andres from the arrival at the Hotel was helpful, attentive, friendly and knowledgeable; with a modern Vehicle clean and with a very safe driving. It took us to make the tour in a very attentive way, I make a tour of Botero Square, which during the journey on the way showed us important buildings of Medellin, history and current life combine between a brief account of the past and current technology. The visit to Pueblito Paisa genial , La comuna 13 and as I knew the place to walk around imaginable places, made us live the feeling as if we walked through those corridors and stands as locals, definitely our guide knows what he does and takes care, we accommodated the best hours not to miss any show of the commune. The trip by Metrocable made us know the unique metro culture of Medellin. Very happy with the treatment and coordination of the Viaja Medellin team. Thank you very much

One of my best experiences. It always makes the difference when you have a group of tourism professionals supporting you and your family to have unforgettable memories and experiences. Natalia Alvarez was our tour guide. She is very prepared and answered all our questions in a very professional end entertained way. Best thing… her knowledge of the history and changes of Comuna 13, for me an Urban Sociology Class.

Reading these words represents a real pride for us because you have heard from a good source about the transformation of an area that has suffered but has managed to move forward and put a different face on life. We agree with you in that area of our beautiful city, it is a study in Sociology, with some very profound changes and a history that is remembered every day and based on it, putting a beautiful face on life, cordial greetings!

My fiancé and I went on this tour with Andres as our guide. The communication leading up to the tour was amazing by Sergio, the owner of the company. Andres even picked us up from our hotel.
Directions were clear and everything ran on time. Andres was very friendly and informative throughout the day. He was an excellent driver and gave us lots of history of the city and information about present day.
We loved the cable cars and learning about the transportation system, enjoying the artwork and history of Comuna 13, and enjoyed a delicious lunch! HIGHLY recommend this tour, especially if you are in Medellin for a short trip.
