Felipe was a great guide; knowledgeable and encouraging. He was patient with the kids. I highly recommend and we will do this again next time we are in Colombia.”“We took a tour with PH Tours to Guatapé in early February, we were two families with 4 young kids.

How much does a tour in Medellín cost?
It depends on the tour, the number of people and the vehicle. Send us your dates and group size on WhatsApp and we reply with the price for your group. Private tours are often good value for families and groups because the price is shared.
Do you pick up from hotels and Airbnbs?
Yes. Every tour includes pickup and drop-off anywhere in Medellín, including El Poblado, Laureles and the city centre.
In which languages are the tours?
English and Spanish.
Are your tours good for families with children?
Yes. Many families travel with us, including with young children. Tours are private, so we go at your pace and adapt the stops to the kids.
How long is the Guatapé tour from Medellín?
Guatapé is about two hours by road from Medellín, so the Guatapé and El Peñol tour takes a full day, with time to climb the rock, walk the town and eat.
Can you do Comuna 13 without a tour?
You can, but a local guide explains the history and the graffiti, times the outdoor escalators well and keeps you in the safest areas. With a private tour we also handle the transport.
Do you offer airport transfers in Medellín?
Yes, private transfers between José María Córdova International Airport (MDE) in Rionegro and your hotel or Airbnb in Medellín.
