The Metrocable is a cable car network, of the monocable type; for the urban mobilization of passengers in Medellín.
The Medellín River has been one of the main sources of development in the city. Not in vain, the first Metro line was built following that flow that crosses the entire Metropolitan Area and creating a harmonious relationship between the region and its tributary. This is just one example of a territorial planning model that has been consolidated for 60 years and that allows the planning and integrated growth of the territory to be coordinated while respecting the river.
Our guides pick up passengers in the lobby or waiting room of the hotel where they are staying. Travelers are then taken for a ride on the Metro cable cars or better known as Metro Cable, this place offers incredible panoramic views of the city of Medellín, ideal for those passionate about photography. Then we went with the travelers to the neighborhood of Comuna 13, there we showed them street art of the place composed of a Break Dance Show, a Rap Show and what interests us most, all the graffiti in the place. Sometimes when we are lucky we can see the works that are in progress and when this happens we can interact with the artists. Throughout the entire tour in Comuna 13 we will be accompanied by a Local guide who will tell us the meaning of each of the works.
To carry out the tour in the Commune 13 we will use the electrical stairs of the place, which represent the engine of change for this community. Initially they were installed to improve the mobility of people within the place, but over the years it became the letter of introduction of the Commune 13, that is, with this infrastructure work began all the transformation of the place accompanied by art urban.

Our Medellín city tour was absolutely amazing! It was the perfect way to experience the city’s rich history, vibrant culture, and incredible transformation. Every stop was fascinating, and the views were breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the stories that make Medellín so special. The tour was well organized, informative, and fun from beginning to end. We visited iconic landmarks, learned so much about the city’s past and present, and left with an even greater appreciation for the warmth and resilience of the people of Medellín. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín. It’s an unforgettable experience and a fantastic way to discover one of Colombia’s most beautiful and welcoming cities!
I went with my sister, and we were delighted!! We liked everything, Juan David is a 10 out of 10, he made us feel at home the entire time!! Highly recommended for you to take your Tours and get to know this beautiful country!
Everything was very good, organized, and the established itinerary was followed; the guide was always attentive, explaining and addressing questions.
It was really fun and educational. Learnt alot of Colombia’s history
The tour is highly recommended. The guide was excellent, the transportation was very good, and the food was great. It could be improved even more if they provided more time in the paisa town.
The tour met the itinerary and the promised locations; however, my experience with the guide was not the best. On several occasions, he commented that if someone arrived late, we should applaud them, which I found disrespectful towards those individuals. Although it was not my case, I believe that not everyone shares the same sense of humor, and such comments can be uncomfortable. The day before, I had taken the tour to Guatapé with the guide Steven, and the experience was excellent: he was always kind, respectful, and attentive to the group. I believe that maintaining that level of attention and professionalism makes a significant difference.
Great tour and Juan David is an excellent guide. Very informative and the trip did not feel rushed, despite having many stops.
We went to multiple tourist hotspots and learned a little more about Medellin. Our favorite spot was Parque de Los Pies Descalzos and Comuna 13. The tour guide for Comuna 13 was really well versed since she grew up in the area and provided us with an extensive history over the common misconceptions of the neighborhood.
Luna, very good!! The problem was just the driver.
This is the second time I have done this activity with MaxiTours. And I always take away a lesson, an experience, and new friendships. This time I brought my mom to experience a little piece of Medellín on this city tour and the Comuna, to learn about the culture, a bit of the gastronomy, its people, and their joy. A complete tour with a very cool guide (Juan David) and super thorough, with the best attitude, excellent command of languages, and history. Thank you, team!
