We do not operate the city tour on Sundays since most of the commerce is closed and the atmosphere and vibe is much better on the week days and Saturdays.

As well as on Mondays the House of Memory Museum does not open its doors to public so bear in mind that we can still do it but the museum visit will not be possible to do on Mondays.

Our Medellin City Tour is the most complete of all, keep reading and find out why!!

Medellin City Tour Description:

We go through a fun combination of history, culture, fruit tasting, trams, aerial cars, local traditions and more...

Remember, we are always flexible and can accommodate requests to tour any other sites in the city.

Should you want to customize your own tour please feel free to build it easily by yourself.

You can also opt to make a fun combination between the Medellin City Tour and Graffiti Tour in Comuna 13 in which after exploring the Botero Square, Cultural Palace and Veracruz Church we make the graffiti tour in Comuna 13 in the same amount of time (5 hours), check that option.

Medellin City Tour: Botero Square, Cultural Palace & Veracruz Church

Our first stop includes iconic places such as the Sculptures Park also known as Botero Square.

An urban space that displays 23 sculptures of the illustrious son of Medellin, Master Fernando Botero.

After walking around and appreciating the open-air museum, we head to the Cultural Palace, a beautiful neo-Gothic style building.

At this place your guide tells you this building's story while you admire the architectural beauty from inside.

Our next stop in our Medellin City Tour is nothing less than the second church built in Medellin in 1712 with the help of European immigrants.

Medellin City Tour: National Palace

From the Veracruz church we walk around 3 mins to discover another architectural gem designed by Albert Govaert.

Once the Medellin´s Courthouse, Palacio Nacional is now the most unusual shopping mall in the city and probably in the world.

Many of the condemned people were committing suicide inside the building thus the local authorities decided to change the location and give a new use to this building.

This is a great opportunity to buy Colombian clothing and souvenirs at a good price. Go ahead and prove your bargain skills!

Medellin City Tour: Salon Málaga

Keeping our journey to Medellin´s history we find the Salón Málaga.

The music, decoration, pictures, colors and everything in this saloon will make you feel like if you were back again in the 50´s.

This is the perfect scene to explain to you the history of our downtown: its golden age, decadence and current programs to revive it.

Medellin City Tour: Tram & Cable Car

Salon Malaga is far to be to the last stop in our fantastic Medellin City Tour.

From there we take the tramway. This is actually our third tram in Medellin, the first one was pulled by mules in 1887.

This tram was finished in 2015 and since then has brought a huge benefit to the communities in the east sector of Medellin.

After our 4.3 km ride in the tram, we reach the most recent aerial car line to fly over hundreds of houses.

Throughout the flight your guide will talk about displaced settlements in Medellin and Colombia as well as how our social and health care system work to have more context about Medellin.

Medellin City Tour: Little Plaza of Florez

Once we are back in the tram station, we take it again to go to our next destination: a traditional food market.

Plaza of Florez  is one of the oldest food markets in the city and this is the place to try some exotic fruits as well as get to know medicinal herbs to heal all kind of diseases.

Did you know that Colombia is the most diverse country per square meter regarding to fruits?

That is why we have incorporated in our Medellin City Tour a delicious stop.

We will be walking among food kiosks and fruit stands where we will invite you to have a taste of the most tropical exotic fruits.

Medellin City Tour: House of Memory Museum

The last stop in the Medellin City Tour is Casa Museo de la Memoria.

This museum offers you a unique insight into the history of Colombia´s armed conflict from the victims´ perspective, as well as the country´s positive outlook into the future.

As you can see this Medellin City Tour has it all: history, present, good stories, old bars, different means of transportation, fruits and museums, but more than everything a great guidance in English.
