    Today I had a really nice experience exploring downtown Medellín as a tourist. I joined a tour with a very friendly group and an amazing guide who taught us a lot about the city’s culture, history, and some really interesting fun facts. It wasn’t the typical tour full of boring information. Instead, it felt very dynamic and engaging. Our guide shared stories about how the city has changed over the years, explained the meaning behind different places, and told us curious details that made the experience even more memorable. Walking through the center while learning about the traditions, historical events, and local culture made me appreciate Medellín even more. The group atmosphere was also great—everyone was kind, interested, and excited to learn. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great way to understand the heart and history of the city. I would definitely recommend this kind of tour to anyone visiting Medellín.

    I did the tour of the city center of Medellin with the guide Jorge. It was a small group that allowed us to ask several questions about the evolution of the city. The visit to the National Palace is spectacular because there is a free art gallery for all people with Botero works and there is even a Picasso. In addition to that you visit several places with sculptures by Fernando Botero which should be highlighted.

    The tour of Medellin was a spectacular experience. We visited the city center, where we learned a lot about the history, culture and transformation of Medellin, and also toured the area of El Poblado, which is modern, vibrant and full of life. The whole tour was very well organized and was very interesting from start to finish. I want to highlight especially our guide, Jorge, who was exceptional. He is very knowledgeable, passionate about his city and explains everything in a clear, pleasant and close way. He was always attentive to the group, answered all our questions and made the tour not only informative, but also very entertaining. Without a doubt, Jorge made the experience even better. I recommend this tour 100% for anyone who really wants to know Medellin.

    A different tour. I traveled with my partner and I made this trip which is divided into two. We always use the metro as a means of transport that is fast and cheap. We started in the city center where we walked 1 hour and 30 minutes and then we returned to the village by subway. We end up in the area of Provence where the bars and restaurants are
