Proposal within 24 hours
Skip the crowded group buses. We design a private day around what you like: Guatapé and El Peñol, Comuna 13 graffiti, coffee fincas, Santa Fe de Antioquia or a foodie route through the city. Private driver and bilingual host included.
What makes a custom tour different from a group tour?
You set the pace, the stops and the departure time, and you are the only group in the vehicle. A private day to Guatapé can leave at 7 am to beat the crowds at El Peñol or at 10 am after a slow breakfast; it can include a boat, a lunch by the lake or a helicopter back. In the city, Comuna 13 with a host who grew up nearby, Arví park by cable car, a coffee farm an hour away, or a football match at the Atanasio Girardot with someone who knows where to sit.
Which tours do travelers book most?
- Guatapé and El Peñol: the 740-step rock, the colorful town, a boat on the reservoir. Full day.
- Comuna 13 and the city: street art, escalators, the metro and cable cars, Botero plaza. Half or full day.
- Coffee farms: a working finca in the hills south of the city, with tasting. Half day.
- Santa Fe de Antioquia or Jardín: colonial towns, heat and river or mountains and cafés. Full day.
- Nightlife with a host: dinner, bars and a safe ride home in Provenza or Laureles.
How are custom tours priced?
Per vehicle plus the guide or host, not per person, so a family of four pays close to what a couple pays. Entrance fees, meals and activities are listed separately in the proposal so you decide what to include. Tell us the date, the number of travelers and what you want to see; the proposal arrives within 24 hours and is paid by card from your account.
Are the tours licensed?
Yes. Tours operate under Medellín Group, National Tourism Registry 169523, with insured vehicles and certified guides. You receive the guide's and driver's names and WhatsApp the day before, and the same operations desk follows the day on WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions
How long is the drive from Medellín to Guatapé?
About 2 hours each way. A private day trip leaves around 8 am and returns by 6 pm, with time for the rock, the town and a boat ride.
Is a private tour better than a group tour?
You leave when you want, stop where you want and skip the bus waiting time. For families, couples and small groups it usually costs a similar amount per person.
Can you combine Comuna 13 and the city in one day?
Yes. Comuna 13 in the morning, lunch in Laureles and Plaza Botero or Pueblito Paisa in the afternoon is our most requested combination.

Layover in Medellin
I booked a private tour for my friends while we had a long layover in Medellin. Arik put together a great day trip for us and personally escorted us. Excellent service. Very knowledgeable about Colombia.
Comuna 13
We booked a private Comuna 13 tour with Medellin Group. It was nice to be picked up from our hotel and taken directly to our guide. Felipe was very detailed and knew everything about the area and all the history. This tour is great for those looking to learn the history.
Great benefits from a great agency
One of the many benefits of this travel agency is that they oversaw my entire journey, while I enjoyed my trip. I did not have any issues and actually transportation and check-in was all on time. Additionally I booked their ATV experience and had an amazing adrenaline filled afternoon that I will not soon forget. Awesome service. Highly recommend Medellin Group.
Another awesome experience!!!
I booked the horseback experience this past weekend. The weather was perfect. I chose the 3 hour tour which was perfect. The scenery was great too passing by ranches and through little towns. After the horses, you fish for your lunch from the ranch and then they prepare it for you. Overall a very authentic experience.
