How the day goes

  1. Message us on WhatsApp

    Tell us the date, the hours you need the driver, how many people and bags you have, and where you want to go. We answer on WhatsApp with the price and agree the details with you there.

  2. We confirm vehicle and driver

    We choose the right vehicle for your group, from a car or SUV to a Chevrolet Tahoe or a van, and confirm the driver and the pickup time with you.

  3. Pickup

    The driver meets you at your hotel, Airbnb or address in Medellín at the agreed time. Airport pickups at MDE can be arranged too.

  4. The driver stays with you

    Go to your meetings, lunch, shops or sights while the driver waits and takes you to the next stop. At the end of the booking we drop you at your hotel, a restaurant or the address you choose.

Private driver in Medellín: what it is

A private driver in Medellín is a car and a driver booked just for you, instead of a ride you order one trip at a time. You decide the stops and the timing, and the same driver stays with you for the hours or days you booked.

PH Tours is a local team based in Medellín and registered in Colombia's National Tourism Registry (Registro Nacional de Turismo, RNT). You book on WhatsApp, we agree the details, and your driver speaks English and Spanish, so you can ask about the city as you go.

Ways to book a driver: by the hour, by the day or point to point

By the hour

Good for a few meetings, a shopping afternoon or a dinner with several stops. Tell us your hours and the driver is yours for that time.

Half day or full day

Useful when your plans are spread across the city or you want to leave the city for the day. The driver waits between stops, so you never look for a ride.

Several days with the same driver

For longer stays or business trips you can keep the same driver for several days. He learns your routine and your hotel, and you do not repeat your instructions every morning.

Point-to-point rides

Need to get from your hotel to a restaurant, a meeting or an event and back? We can schedule single rides ahead of time too. Ask us on WhatsApp for the price of the booking that fits you.

Vehicles: Chevrolet Tahoe, SUVs, cars and vans

The vehicle depends on your group and your luggage. Tell us how many people and bags you have and we plan the right one.

  • Chevrolet Tahoe: for 5 to 7 people. A guest wrote that the Tahoe was comfortable and perfect for their party of 5.
  • Other SUVs and cars: for smaller groups, couples and solo travellers.
  • Vans with driver: for larger groups.

Executive transportation in Medellín for business trips

If you travel for work, a driver at your disposal saves time between meetings, factories, restaurants and your hotel. You arrive on schedule, you can take calls on the way, and you do not wait for a ride at each stop.

Companies can get an electronic invoice (factura electrónica) for the service. Ask us on WhatsApp and tell us the company details when you book.

Planning an event or a group visit? We can arrange a van for the team or several vehicles on request. Send us the date and the number of people.

For families, events, shopping days and day trips

  • Families with luggage: one vehicle, one driver, and no juggling bags and kids between taxis.
  • Events and nights out: the driver takes you there and back at the time you set.
  • Shopping days: leave the bags in the car while you move between malls and neighbourhoods.
  • Day trips: the driver can take you to Guatapé or other places near Medellín. Tell us where you want to go and we plan the day.

If you also want a guide who explains the places you visit, look at our private tour guide service, run by the same team.

Private driver vs taxi or ride apps

Taxis and ride apps work for one quick trip. A private driver is different when you have several stops, luggage, a group or a schedule to keep.

  • Comfort: a clean private vehicle with room for your group, not the next car that is free.
  • Safety and trust: you travel with a known local team, not a stranger, which matters at night or in a city you do not know.
  • Scheduled ahead: the pickup time is agreed before, so the car is expecting you.
  • One driver all day: he waits, and you do not order a new ride at each stop.

For reference, the airport page of this site notes that an airport taxi costs about COP 140,000. For a driver by the hour or day, ask us on WhatsApp for the price.
