The logistics involved with international travel can be a bit of a hassle, particularly for inexperienced travelers. The language barrier can be an issue as well if you choose to go to more obscure or out-of-the-way locations.

Here are worthwhile Medellin Tours to choose from:
Well, there’s a simple way to book a trip to Medellin and get the most out of it and that is to book a tour. But there are a lot of tours out there, how do you know which of the many Medellin tours is right for you?
First, determine what you want out of your trip. From there, choosing the right tour for you becomes easy.
1. Medellin Singles Tour
If you want to find love in Medellin, then you can’t go wrong with a Medellin Singles Tour. Do you want to know what you get with a romance tour? You get some peace of mind. You don’t have to book a sightseeing tour as that’s already part of the package. You don’t have to worry about getting a cab at the airport, airport pickup and dropoff is already included. In this tour, everything is taken care of so you can focus solely on the primary goal: to meet and date beautiful Colombian women.
You won’t have to worry about any language barrier because there’ll be translators provided. And our Medellin staff will be there to help at all hours of the day. You’ll even get to tour historic parts of the city.
But the real meat and potatoes of the singles tour is access to the Socials. You’ll get invites to two Socials – catered events wherein you and the rest of the group will be able to hang out with dozens if not hundreds of beautiful Colombian women. You’ll get unlimited one-on-one introductions, so you’ll basically have an entire staff of wingmen to help you out with getting with a woman.
And those introductions aren’t limited to the Socials. If there’s a woman on the site that’s not at the Social, talk to the staff and they’ll arrange a one-on-one meeting with her. Check out the schedule to know more.
2. Individual Club Tour
If for whatever reason, the Medellin Singles Tour schedule does not work for you, then you can always take an Individual Club Tour to Medellin. So, how is this different from the regular singles tour? For starters, you go when you feel like going. You don’t have to work around a schedule.
Like the singles club, you’ll get airport pickup. However, you won’t have the same access to the Socials. Your tour may not coincide with a Social. If there is a Social at the time of your visit, you will get a one-time discount to attend.
Now, while you may or may not be able to attend a Social, there are still plenty of opportunities for you to meet women. Head to our local office and the staff there will perform up to three one-on-one introductions per day. If the intro goes well, you may want to move on from the office to a more comfortable setting. Our staff will provide suggestions that are close by. Translators are available, for additional fees.
Additionally, if you’re an American citizen and you hit it off with someone and decide to take the plunge and commit, you’ll get our Fiance Visa Package, a step-by-step guide to help you get through all the red tape that comes with getting a foreign-born spouse into the country legally.
3. Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour and Street Food
Now, if finding love isn’t the goal of you going on any of the tours, Medellin still has plenty to offer. There are plenty of other Medellin tours that you can go on.
Colombia’s past isn’t exactly bloodless. In fact, it’s infamous for its bloody past. While the country has made great strides in the past few decades, pop culture has fixed almost entirely on this bloody past.
At one point, Comuna 13 was one of the worst places in Medellin, with some calling it the most dangerous neighborhood in the world. Gangs, guerillas, and paramilitary groups all used the neighborhood as a stronghold at various points.
That’s not the case anymore. Community efforts, including outdoor escalators, have transformed the neighborhood significantly. Now, instead of being warned away from it, visitors to Medellin like you can book tours through the neighborhood to see the graffiti and eat street food.
4. Most Complete Coffee Tour in Medellín: From the Seed to the Cup in Just Half Day
Aside from a past filled with bloodshed and the creation of magical realism, Colombia is famous for one other thing; coffee. Go to your local supermarket. You’ll likely find more than one brand boasting the Colombian roots of its beans. It’s not just your local supermarket. If a coffee brand wants to market itself as the best, it boasts Colombian heritage.
This is because Colombian coffee is prized all over the world. The beans grown there are said to have a fuller, richer flavor.
Now, if you’re in the Medellin area and you’d like to become a bit more acquainted with Colombia’s coffee culture, you can book a tour to a hacienda in Medellin’s countryside to learn about the process of how coffee goes from being a bean to being in a cup.
While you’re on the farm, you’ll be able to sample specialty coffees that are not available anywhere else.
If you do want to book this tour, expect it to take about 4 to 5 hours, and do keep in mind that this is a small group tour and is limited to 12 people.
5. Electric Bike City Tour Medellin, Viewpoints, Local Snacks, and Drink Tastings
Medellin is a city that is built on hills. In fact, it’s in the middle of the Aburra Valley, which is in the Andean Mountain range. So there are a lot of slopes and inclines in and around the city. Because of this, the city has quite a number of stunning viewpoints.
But the geography that made those viewpoints possible also makes it incredibly exhausting to see them all. But what if you want to see them all or at least a significant portion of them? And how would you even find the best ways to get to them?
That’s where this E-bike tour comes in. In a group limited to 15 travelers, you can take it easy pedaling from one viewpoint to another and seeing views of Medellin that even some locals are never going to get to see. The guides will also teach you some local knowledge that you’re not going to find in any guidebook.
6. ATV Tour 3 Mountains Medellin
The viewpoints aren’t the only benefit of a city built in a valley. Another is that the surrounding countryside is perfect for a wide variety of activities. Now, you could probably take a regular tour. There are plenty of Medellin tours wherein you hop on and off a tour bus while a guide explains various landmarks and such to you.
That’s certainly one way to explore the countryside. But maybe you’d rather not go in and out of a bus that’s either stuffy or pumped full of recycled air. Maybe you’d like to spend some time outdoors and take in a few gulps of fresh air at the same time while also doing something that you probably don’t normally do in your day-to-day life. How?
By booking an ATV tour. You and a group of friends can ride through farms and open fields through and around 3 mountains, and end with lunch on a local trout farm.
7. Guatape Tour, Piedra del Peñol Including a Boat Tour, Breakfast, and Lunch
Speaking of the area around Medellin, you can also book a tour to the town of Guatapé. The town has El Peñón de Guatapé, a massive inselberg with 708 steps built into it on one side. There’s food and markets at the base of the rock.
The rock became such an attraction that the Colombian government declared it a national monument in the early 20th century. So book this tour, which includes all three meals, round-trip transport, and live music.
Exploration is part and parcel of traveling. Even if you don’t intend to have any fun on a trip, maybe you’re going for business reasons, you’re still seeing a place you’ve never seen before and a place that you’re unfamiliar with. You may not care about all the exploring that you’re doing, but you’re still doing it. It’s still happening for you.
If you are the type of traveler who wants to really experience what the city of Medellin has to offer, then go ahead and book one of the many Medellin tours that are available to you.
