Proposal within 24 hours
Your personal host translates, recommends, books, negotiates and keeps you safe while you discover the city. Shopping, restaurants, nightlife, medical appointments, business meetings or simply someone who knows the city and speaks your language. Tell us your dates and plans and we send you a proposal the same day.
A personal host is a vetted, bilingual local who spends the day, the evening or the whole trip with you and handles the friction: translating at the pharmacy, negotiating with a taxi, getting the table at the restaurant that never answers, walking you back to the hotel at 2 am, or simply telling you which street to avoid. It is not a tour guide with a script. Your host adapts to your plans, whether that is a business meeting, a dental appointment, a shopping afternoon, Comuna 13, a football match or a night out in Provenza.
By the hour or by the day, depending on how long you want company. Tell us your dates, how many people are traveling and what you have in mind, and we send a written proposal within 24 hours with the host profile, the schedule and the total. You accept and pay by card from your account; nothing is charged before you approve the proposal. Multi-day trips are quoted as a package.
People from Medellín interviewed, background-checked and trained by the Medellín Group operations team, the same team that has run transfers and tours in the city since 2005. You receive your host's name, photo and WhatsApp before you meet, and you rate the service afterwards from your account. Female and male hosts are available; tell us your preference.
First trips to Colombia, travelers who do not speak Spanish, solo travelers going out at night, medical or dental trips with appointments, business visits where you need a translator who also knows the city, and anyone who would rather spend the day enjoying Medellín than figuring it out.

First Visit to Colombia
First visit to Colombia. The Medellin Group team took care of every single detail. They even communicate via text and monitor flights. Made sure I was well taken care of. Highly recommend Arik and his team for anything you need in Colombia.
Authentic and local knowledge
Very responsive with authentic local knowledge about what’s going on in Medellin. Highly recommend for English speakers traveling to Colombia.
The Best in Medellin
Excellent experience with this group. They were extremely professional and very knowledgeable about Medellin. The connections they had were priceless and very helpful.
Love! Love! Love!
My husband and I just returned from Colombia, we stayed in the Parque Lleras at Hotel Charlee. We had the most fun time thanks to Medellin Group. They were able to provide us with the best hotspots in the area and made perfect recommendations for excursions based on our preferences. Love! Love! Love! the Medellin Group team!
True Colombia Experts
Booked Medellín, Cartagena and Bogotá with this agency. The best part is they have employees in every city and it made us comfortable knowing we were safe. I was overly impressed with the concierge service. Would definitely book with them and recommend.
