Medellin · MEDELLIN CITY & BOTERO DOWNTOWN TOURS
28 reviewed
Downtown Medellin rewards a guide: the fat bronze figures in Plaza Botero, the old churches, the metro that changed the city. These are the best city and downtown tours — walking, cycling or by metro — with what each one covers, how long it takes, and which suit a first orientation versus a deeper history walk.
