How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Half a day is plenty of time to see the blossoming Medellín of your dreams, like kicking the day off in history hub barrio Centro, to marvel at the larger-than-life Metropolitan Cathedral and nearby fountain filled Botero Plaza to get up close to world-famous sculptures. A farmer's market turned beacon of change filled with 300 pillars awaits around the corner, or reflect on the city's past in tree-filled San Antonio Plaza. See a hidden jazz gem to return to later, before hopping to a bustling flower market to see why Medellín is the City of Eternal Spring. You still have plenty of time to greet the sunbathing iguanas at the enormous Botanical Garden, or head to booming barrio Comuna 13, a melting pot of thought-provoking street art and beatboxing buskers.

Jack is a wonderful guide. He went above and beyond. Even prior to our tour, he gave us tips and suggested things we can see and places to visit. He kept my teenagers engaged and taught us so much about this spectacular county.

Great experience for two of the seven on our tour. Five of us couldn’t attend due to our flight being cancelled, but from what I understand the tour was great!

The guide, Naveen, was incredibly knowledgeable & flexible for our schedule. He took us to places we were interested in learning more about & even helped show us how to use the train system so we could get on the train to the airport when we leave town tomorrow. He was very personable & easy-going. We loved hearing the wealth of information he had & he always knew when we were ready to move on to the next area. We would highly recommend him to anyone!! Adults and/or families!
