Explore Medellín’s Comuna 13 through graffiti, local stories, electric stairs, street food, and sweeping city views for $16.80.
“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,…”

Review of ViajaMedellín’s Guatapé day trip from Medellín, with El Peñol, boat ride, local meals, colorful streets, and practical tips.
“This tour is a must do. Bus was cold and comfortable. It was the perfect amount of stops with delicious food and amazing views. I would definitely recommend”
Review of Cartagena’s Rosario Islands tour, with VIP, ecological, and party options, costs, stops, snorkeling, lunch, and practical tips.
“The last stop of the day is, by far, the best place. The tour would be so much better if they just took you directly to Rosario De Mar Eco Hotel (the last stop), so you coud spend the entire day there. The other stops were nice, but there wasnt a beach at any of them, and the food/drinks (which you have to pay for) were good, but also very expensive. Also be warned about the boat ride. It was a lot of fun, but not for the faint of heart. The boat is extremely fast, and a lot of water splashes into it. If you dont want to get…”
Ride 12 kilometers through Bogotá’s historic center, markets, parks, murals, coffee shops, and local neighborhoods for a lively four-hour city tour.
“It had been quite a while since I had been on a bike, but this was a great way to see some neighbourhoods in Bogota. I liked how our guy brought us to his art studio and we were actually able to see one of his mural paintings during our Ride.”
Hike Colombia’s Lost City over four days with jungle trails, rivers, indigenous culture, camp stays, meals, and expert Expotur support.
“El paseo a Ciudad Perdida is an absolute must-see if you're in Colombia and can spare 4 days trekking, don't mind hot and humid conditions and are reasonably fit. Stunning vistas the whole way, amazing final location and you are well-looked after by the guides, translators and cooks. Our group had Camacho (guide), Herbert (translator) and Pollo (cook) and had a brilliant experience - comes highly recommended.”
Review of Medellín’s Real Pablo Escobar Tour, with La Catedral, memorials, cemetery, transport, guide quality, price, and practical tips.
“This tour was such a great experience! Our guide Daniel was super knowledgeable and made everything really easy to understand. I loved that the tour focused on the history and the impact on Medellín, rather than glorifying violence. Each stop was well planned, and the stories and explanations kept things interesting the whole time. It honestly gave me a whole new perspective on how much the city has grown and changed. If you’re visiting Medellín and want to learn about its past in a respectful and engaging way, I’d definitely recommend this tour!”
Review of Medellín’s Guatapé day trip with breakfast, lunch, boat ride, El Peñol Rock, transport, tips, costs, and honest advice.
“Be on time for the pick up. This was a great experience, Yulie, our tour guide was super, and yes they speak English too. Because it’s a group tour, you do get to meet people from all over the world. The food was great and they have option for everyone. As a Jamaica, this Peñol rock was a bucket list and it was great. Very crowdy as it was holiday time.”

“Our guide was Rebeca, we did the tour in Spanish and she was amazing. Very nice, kind and attentive all the time. She has a huge knowledge about Cartagena and Colombia’s history, and shared it with us in a really funny and light way Highly recommend to anyone who is going to visit Cartagena.”
Review of Medellín’s Guatapé day tour with Piedra del Peñol, local tastings, boat lunch, colorful streets, costs, and practical tips.
“It was a great tour. The places that we visited and foods given during the trip, were all great. We would however add the need of hand sanitization during the trip.”
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!”
Spend a relaxed day sailing from Cartagena to the Rosario Islands with swimming, snorkeling, lunch, free soft drinks, and ocean views.
“It was a perfect day to spend on the sea. Swimming and snorkeling in open water was so much fun. Lunch was delicious. If something could change, it would be the location of the 2nd swimming location. All in all, we had lots of fun.”
See Bogotá by bike, taste unusual fruits, play tejo, visit a coffee roaster, and explore street art on this lively 4.5-hour city tour.
“Mike was a terrific guide, he was so knowledgeable and I loved learning about the history of Colombia from him. The day was well worth the money, would absolutely recommend this tour.”
From island boats to coffee fincas, and the best of each.
