Join the first Free Walking Tour in El Poblado, a guided tour without taboos!
Learn why this neighborhood became one of the most exclusive and sought in the city after being the first colonial settlement in Medellín.
Tour Description
We’ll dive deep in the stories that the streets and corners of El Poblado tell us, highlighting “Calle 10”, a street always alive and decorated with great murals (street art), surrounded by unique gastronomy, and legendary bars with pioneering sounds in the city.
This tour will take you to recognize "El Poblado" from a real, sincere and surprising perspective among all its cultural details and natural areas such as "La Presidenta" and "La Bailarina", its parties and the famous "Parque Lleras". El Poblado is much more than this, it is "the new center of Medellín" that stands out for attracting innovation, design, art, and international haute cuisine.
Discover from the hand of our local guides the cultural and nocturnal side of one of the most famous neighborhoods in Colombia!

Real and effective information about the city! In the good hands of Manuel, a passionate historian who shows us the town in the best way! A smooth walk with good drinks and talks! Highly recommend! I am excited to do more activities with this company!

We took the evening tour of El Poblado here on a whim. Was walking by, saw the red umbrella, and decided to join in. I’m really glad we did, by far the best tour we have done in Colombia so far.

This was a fantastic tour!! Very thorough and the guide (Alejandro) made sure to find out what everyone was hoping to get out of the tour and address every single one of those hopes! I left with so much information and knowledge of El Poblado - the neighborhood: its history, its character, its culture, and several recommendations to boot. It's exactly what you would want out of a walking tour in a new city, and Alejandro was charming, kind and helpful! Definitely recommend!!

Excellent tour! It has a bit of everything, history, recommendations for food, drinks and places to have a good time. Manuel was an excellent guide who showed us very interesting and beautiful places and told us their history. El Poblado is a place rich in culture and history. I definitely recommend it a lot to know where to have a good time.
