Visiting Medellín for the first time is an unforgettable experience. Known as the “City of Eternal Spring,” Medellín is vibrant, colorful, and full of contrasts — from modern cable cars soaring over the mountains to hidden coffee farms and world-famous street art.

If you want to explore the city in comfort, safety, and style, a private tour is the best way to go. At TourPoint Medellín, we specialize in tailor-made experiences designed for travelers who value exclusivity, flexibility, and insider access.

Here are the 7 best private tours in Medellín for first-time visitors:

1. Comuna 13 Private Tour: Beyond the Graffiti

Discover the resilience and transformation of Medellín’s most iconic neighborhood. With your private guide, you’ll explore colorful graffiti murals, outdoor escalators, local stories of hope, and live street performances — all at your own pace, away from the crowds.

What makes this experience unique with TourPoint Medellín?

Cable Car Ride: Start your journey with Medellín’s famous Metrocable, flying over the city for panoramic views.
Local Flavors: Taste a traditional Colombian ice cream, just like the locals enjoy on a sunny day.
Exotic Fruit Tasting: Sample seasonal tropical fruits — a delicious introduction to the flavors of Colombia that most visitors miss.

2. Guatapé & El Peñol Day Trip

A must-do for any visitor: climb the 740 steps of the famous El Peñol rock, then relax in the picturesque town of Guatapé with its brightly painted houses. Your private transport and guide ensure comfort and flexibility, so you can stop for coffee, photos, or even a boat ride on the lake.
