Description
Unlike mass-tourism bike rides, we offer an exclusive boutique experience limited to only 8 guests. This semi-private format ensures a personalized, intimate journey where you’re a friend, not just a number in a crowd. Our guides are passionate local urban bikers who live the "La Buena" philosophy—a spirit of mutual respect and joy that connects us deeply with the neighborhoods we visit. Because the community loves us, you’ll experience a warmer, more authentic side of Medellín where locals greet us as we pass. We’ve curated the "Essential" route: a seamless blend of historical transformation, hidden local spots, and authentic flavors. You’ll taste the city’s soul through hand-picked traditional snacks while our premium E-bikes glide you effortlessly through the hills and parks. Choose this if you want to skip the "tourist traps" and discover the real heart of Medellín through the eyes of the people who truly know and love it. High quality, small groups, big soul.

So much more than just an e-bike tour
We went into this tour with just one request: surprise us! We told Andrés that we were looking for those special “wow” moments rather than following a standard sightseeing route. He understood exactly what we meant and completely exceeded our expectations. What made the experience so special was how personal and spontaneous it felt. Andrés has a great way of showing you Medellín through the eyes of someone who genuinely loves his city. He took us to unexpected places, shared interesting stories along the way, and made the whole afternoon feel more like exploring the city with a local friend than being on an organized tour. The e-bikes were a fantastic way to get around and allowed us to see much more of Medellín than we could have on foot. Andrés was also excellent at navigating the traffic and looking after us, so we felt safe and confident throughout the entire ride. His enthusiasm, humor and positive energy really made the day. We laughed a lot, discovered a completely different side of Medellín and definitely got the “wow” moments we had hoped for. If you enjoy experiences that feel personal, authentic and a little different from the typical tourist activities, put Turibike on your list. A fantastic way to experience Medellín!

The perfect way to see Medellín
We had a fabulous tour with Michael at Turibike! What a great way to see Medellín. Michael was super knowledgeable and entertaining. We opted for a 3 hour tour and ended up spending more like 4 hours with Michael. The pace and stops were perfect for us. We appreciated learning more about the history of the city and seeing the various neighborhoods from poorer to richer on the tour. We really enjoyed what felt like little extras (stopping in the farmers' market for sugar cane juice, stopping for a fruit cocktail break). Highly recommend doing this during your trip to Medellín!
