Free Walking Tour Medellin's Historic Downtown

We will immerse ourselves among the streets of Medellín and its people to understand the history, development, conflict and the social commitment of an inclusive and innovative city! From the hand of local "Paisas" guides, you will understand how we reverted our dark and violent past, a product of the drug trafficking of the 80's and 90's, into a bright future that made us stronger. Thanks to the collective resilient effort and social investment that today allows us to walk, and live in the city of "Eternal Spring", we will visit the unmissable places of the city such as the "Plaza de Botero" and "La Libertad", "Parque de las Luces" and "Los Pies Descalzos". During the tour, we will move between passages, we will cross the famous Junin street, and we will discover the essence of the center of Medellín. Do not miss our unique and original tour where we continue to write history together! Important info: this Tour is a shared experience called "Free Walking Tour" and our job is based on tips, which means that you are the one who decides how much your Guides deserve for their work. We suggest $50,000 COP per person which we consider is a fair value for your Freelance Guide considering the cost of a regular Walking Tour. This voluntary tip that you give to your guide is their way of making a living and maintaining this exciting job.

Our tour of Medellín with Dani was an incredible experience. His deep knowledge of the city’s history, particularly its transformation through migration and urban development, added so much depth to the tour. Dani explained how Medellín evolved from its challenging past to the thriving, innovative city it is today. His passion for the city’s progress was contagious, and he shared personal stories and insights that made the tour both informative and engaging. What stood out most was Dani's ability to connect historical events with the everyday life of Medellín's residents, making complex topics easy to understand. His energy and enthusiasm kept the group engaged throughout, and his genuine love for Medellín shone through in every detail. I would highly recommend Dani’s tour to anyone wanting to learn about Medellín’s remarkable transformation. It was an unforgettable experience!
