Description
You can visit the city and enjoy it to your liking, however, having the company of a local will always make a noticeable difference. The curious facts, the history, the reality, the past, the present and the possible future are better dimensioned when you are with someone who has lived in Medellin. On Monday, the museum house of the memory is closed, due to maintenance, therefore, we visit the art gallery of the National Palace instead. We are passionate about visiting the city again and again, it will always be different because each person gives you unique moments and therefore generates special memories. On Mondays the museum house of the memory is closed for maintenance, therefore, we visit the art gallery of the National Palace instead.

Itinerary
Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture
The Palace of Culture is a treasure based on its architecture. It looks attractive and different in a center adapted to this modern era, but discovering its interior a little and appreciating the view from its terrace, it is beautiful.
Plaza Botero
Plaza Botero is within the cultural area of the center. Appreciating art through the hands of Fernando Botero is an invaluable gift that this artist has made to his city to be part of what is now the new Medellin.
The Parque Berrio was hundreds of years ago the main square of the city and although today it looks completely different, its history and culture gives a high value to the center.
Museo Casa de la Memoria
In this museum you’ll be able to see testimonials of victims of the violence in the city in the last decades and you’ll understand better the roots of the conflict in our country.
Placita de Florez
In this market we’ll do a fruit tasting and you’ll enjoy several or the tropical fruits produced around the city
The Tram is part of Paisa pride, travel around and enjoy the landscape from this public transport, is something you cannot stop doing in the city.
The metrocable is part of the integrated system to the metro. Every day a large number of people take it as transportation to go to work or to return home. Enjoy the view of all the neighborhoods in the mountains is something you have to do to appreciate the beautiful valley that is Medellin.

Excellent service
Oscar and Julio are the best. From the pickup to the tours, they were exceptional. I would use them again and, of course, recommend them. Excellent photographers too.

Amazing City Tour of Medellin!
I highly recommend this tour. My gude Oscar was attentive and informative. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The guide Julio is great...
The guide Julio is great; he provides explanations in English and Spanish, speaking calmly so that we can understand well. The cable car with the view is truly worth the trip. Then the statue exhibition in the downtown area is very good. Comuna 13 is great for its murals and public markets. I wish I could have spent more time there. The Museum of Memory was more ordinary; it is not really something we understood.
Operator response
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire détaillé ! Nous sommes ravis de savoir que vous avez apprécié l’expérience avec Julio, ses explications en anglais et en espagnol, ainsi que les différents lieux visités pendant la journée. Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez aimé la vue depuis le métro câble, les œuvres du centre-ville et l’ambiance de la Comuna 13. Nous prenons également en compte votre retour concernant le Musée de la Mémoire, car les expériences culturelles peuvent parfois être différentes selon les attentes de chaque visiteur. Merci d’avoir partagé vos impressions et d’avoir découvert Medellín avec nous !
