“We selected this tour given the highly rated reviews on viator. At the beginning of the tour we went through various food stops but there really wasn’t much information until the last half hour. Consequently, many of those in our group had additional questions and he provided short explanation but perhaps it was challenging with the language barrier and to capture the complexities of the history. We unfortunately did not find ourselves having the glowing experience that others referenced in their reviews as we would have enjoyed a little more energy, more context and information for the neighborhood we were there to learn about. If photos are to be shared,…”
Medellín bike tour review covering Pueblito Paisa, downtown sights, local neighborhoods, hills, safety, value, and practical booking tips.
“Andrew was absolutely awesome! My wife and I went on his bike tour at 7PM around the city, and it was great. He was so informative, and especially since he’s a young guy, it is really nice to hear about his thoughts on Medellin as a local who grew up in a transitional period there. He did a great job relating to us to personalize the tour more. For example, he made sure to make me feel welcome through us talking about basketball on the difficult bike paths to help keep me in it. If you are taking this bike tour, please go to him!”

Medellín street food, music, dancing, and night views come together on this lively chiva tour through El Poblado.
“I’m giving 3 stars mainly because the tour was advertised on Viator as being in *only* English. We were the only English speakers on the tour and could not understand anything that was being said. They translated some things to English for us but overall feel like it took away from the night. We were with two people that spoke Spanish and they had a blast.”
