Amazing tour of Medellin Highlights - We had an amazing time on our tour with Oskar and learned so much about Medellín! Oskar picked us up right from our hotel and made the whole experience seamless. Our first stop was Botero Square, which was incredible. Oskar had such a wealth of knowledge about the artist and shared the fascinating history behind each bronze statue. We then explored some of the city’s coolest buildings and enjoyed seeing beautiful art along the way. The highlight at the end was a visit to a local fruit stand, where we got to try so many delicious fruits—most of which were completely new to us.
Overall, this was a 5-star experience, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín!

Wonderful tour with our guide, Oscar!✨ - We had an amazing guide, ✨Oscar ✨, who ensured our experience was top notch (including going off piste for some delicious arepas). This tour was beyond worth it as the depth of Oscar’s knowledge and context he shared about each stop on the tour was incredible. Make time for this tour, you will love it! Oscar had brought umbrellas for us too (but your rain jacket might still come in handy!) ✨

Worth your money! - Oscar is a very knowledgeable guide! I learned so much during this tour and got to explore so much in a short amount of time! This is the best tour to learn about the history of Medellin! I had a wonderful experience and I did this tour as a solo traveler and felt very safe! If you are here visiting Colombia, please be sure to take a tour with Oscar!

A must do Medellín city tour! - I had an incredible private city tour in Medellín that truly brought the heart and soul of the city to life. From the vibrant streets of to the panoramic views at the top of the cable cars, every moment was filled with culture, history, and stunning beauty.
A special shoutout to my amazing guide, Yuly — from Tourguides Medellin, her passion for Medellín, deep knowledge of its transformation, and warm personality made the experience unforgettable. The fruits tasting experience was amazing too!! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín.

Excellent way to see Medellin - Luis was an excellent tour guide. We learned a lot about Medellin which I had last visited in 1964, before the guerilla wars in Antioquia. It was great to ride the newish Medtro system as well as the cable car. Since most of the tour was in a vehicle we were able to see much more of the city than if we'd taken a primarily walking tour.

City tour of historic and architectural important sites along with cultural stops - Oscar was an incredible guide on a private tour. He listened to what I was interested in seeing in Medellin which was architecture, plazas and also where and how locals really live.
He even included a delightful stop at one of the oldest city markets to sample different tropical fruits.
I learned history and culture and the price for a private tour was reasonable.
I would highly recommend Tourguides Medellin to know this beautiful city……Thank you Oscar for a fabulous day!

Relaxed and Informative tour in Medellin - Yuly was our guide and she was fabulous. I enjoyed visiting Communa 10 and seeing inside some of the important and notable buildings in the area. The flexibility was nice on a private tour. Since we had already done a fruit tasty elsewhere, we were able to try street vendor food with delicious arepas, empandada and sweets.
