Medellín Beer Party Bus review: compare the route, city views, music, drinks, price, drawbacks, and practical booking advice before you go.
“The food was good. We were with 6 people. 3 beer in 3 hour and a cola. We don’t recommended this tour.”
Review of Medellín’s Guatapé day trip by chiva, with local food, lake cruise, Pablo Escobar’s hacienda, and Guatapé Rock.
“We had the best time on this tour. Our tour guide Adriana was amazing - SO personable / knowledgeable and brought us the best spots. It's an amazing deal - you get to spend time at an exotic animal farm (& feed llamas), check out Hacienda Manuela, climb el Piñol, try amazing food everywhere and check out Guatapé! 10000/10 would recommend & if you can go with Adriana - even better!!”
Review of Medellín’s 4-hour city tour by themed bus, covering Botero, Barefoot Park, Pueblito Paisa, Metro, and Metrocable.
“It was a good tour! John was an amazing guide”
Review of Cartagena’s 3-hour Chiva party bus, with city sights, dancing, photo stops, Spanish guide, and Taboo nightclub entry.
“Amazing tour !! The best one was the chocolate bus . Had a blast !! Amazing time !!! Our host was fantastic and he was a great host . Only suggestion is children shouldn’t be allowed . This is an adult activity since there’s a lot of dancing and everyone having a good time drinking .”

Review of Cartagena’s $20 party bus, with city sights, music, hotel-area pickup, practical tips, and honest notes on heat and language.
“Had a great time on the party bus. It’s a great way to start your trip. Enjoyed the music, the tour guides were helpful. Would definitely book again”
Cartagena’s $12 Chiva party bus mixes music, night sightseeing, hotel pickups, and dancing, but meeting details and timing can be unreliable.
“We started off great. They contacted us to confirm pick up and were on time to get us from the hotel. Then the bus had issues so they transferred us. 7:55pm to 9:15pm and we were still pick up people, no drinks, no guidance. My family and I got off the bus. Horrible.”
From island boats to coffee fincas, and the best of each.
