Incredible personalized tours - We did Communa 13 with city tour on day 1 and the coffee farm tour the next day. Erika was the guide for Communa 13 and she was absolutely fantastic. She grew up in Communa 13 and her personal experiences and knowledge made it such a great tour with many family stories.
The Coffee tour was guided by Andres. He is a coffee connoisseur and his relationship with the farm and his years of experience made it another great tour.
Both were private tours where the guide came to pick us up in a nice suv and it was just my wife and I on the entire tour. MDT is the premier operator of custom personalized tours and the cost is well worth the experience. I highly recommend them for any tours in Medellin.

Fantastic! - The tour guide went out of his way to ensure we had an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommend Alejandro who was extremely knowledgeable of the coffee industry. We had 9 in our group and everyone was very happy. The lunch was great, planned right in the middle of both tours.

Comuna 13 & Coffee Farm - Laura was absolutely fantastic! She planned our day perfectly: we started with Comuna 13, then enjoyed lunch at a beautiful farm, and after that we continued with an amazing coffee tour. Highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and memorable experience!

And unforgettable experience! Graffiti and Cafe! - The day after we arrived in Medellín, the charismatic and extremely knowledgeable Erika from Medellin Day Trips picked us up at our hotel and took us on a private day tour to Comuna 13. As this is the neighborhood where she grew up in, she knows everyone and has big feelings for her community. To say that it was a very humbling experience is an understatement. It truly made us look at our own lives and the things we take for granted as well as what we stress about. From conflict to color. From fear to art. Comuna 13 is Medellín’s heartbeat of resilience. Also, you have to visit Chota 13’s store and cafe. You’ll see a lot of his work all over Comuna 13.
The second part of our day trip was at the organic coffee farm Bosques de la Doctora in Sabaneta where we started off with a typical Colombian lunch wrapped up in a banana leaf. Muy delicioso! Here we learned all about growing coffee, the entire process from bean to cup, as well as the different methods of brewing my husband Bjorn got to try out himself. Bjorn was totally in his element. Unfortunately, after this tour, every other coffee shop or location serving coffee is ruined as Bjorn became a kind of novice as he got to experience first hand how a cup of freshly ground coffee should be brewed and taste like. Personally I don’t care for coffee, I’d rather have a good cup of cacao, matcha latte, chai or herbal tea. I did get to try tea made out of the dried coffee berries which tasted a bit like hibiscus.
We learned so much and had the best fun with Erika. She is fluid in English as well if your Spanish isn’t up to par. When visiting Medellin, this tour is an absolute must for every tourist.
Saludos,
Melanie & Bjorn from Curaçao

Fabulous day of discovering two very different parts of Antioquia - My husband and I booked the coffee farm experience and the tour of Comuna 13 as one combined tour as we didn’t have a ton of time in Medellin. Our guide was Daniel, and he was wonderful. He spoke perfect English and was friendly, fun, informative and seemed to know lots of people in Comuna 13. We even got to meet one of the neighbourhood’s most prolific graffiti artists because Daniel introduced us. He picked us up on time at our hotel in a clean air conditioned vehicle. We headed to Comuna 13 early which was great because it wasn’t crowded and the vendors hadn’t yet set up for the day so we were able to see and enjoy the graffiti murals.
We learned about the history of the community, the meaning behind the artwork and saw a ton. Daniel also took lots of great pictures of us and Airdropped them to me at the end of the tour.
He also got us an incredibly delicious popsicle from a local vendor made from green mango and passionfruit which is served with a cup of lime juice and salt for dipping. We caught part of a truly impressive breakdancing performance and then we left.
After that we drove over to the coffee farm which is a small family-run farm. They have some animals and they’re on the side of a mountain. They served us a delicious bandeja paisa for lunch with some of the ingredients coming straight for their farm (avocado, eggs, the leaves it was wrapped in).
We brewed their coffee in 4 different methods and got to compare them. We also learned a lot about the coffee industry, and the life cycle of the coffee plant. Then we geared up in rubber boots and traditional coffee harvesting gear and set off into the hills to pick some coffee berries ourselves and then go through all the steps of the process.
I would highly recommend Medellin Day Trips and Daniel specifically. He made the day really great.

Unbeatable guide and a very unforgettable day! - We were very fortunate to have met our guide, Sara. Her passion and energy was key to our memorable experience. We gained a much deeper understanding and appreciation for Medellín and Columbia through Sara. Her acknowledgment of their difficult past was very helpful in getting the full picture about this country. Highly recommend Sara and this combined tour!
