Medellin Beer Party Bus is a 2-hour night ride with DJs, skyline views from the 4 South bridge, and stops around Avenue 70 and the Golden Mile.
“The tour guide was very engaging and fun and did a great job engaging all participants. There was a problem as there’s a misrepresentation on the description and what’s included in the tour. There were a lot of discontent people including us as this was supposed to be a beer tour and they only provided one and said that that’s not what they do and that they didn’t have money for that. They didn’t stop on the venues that were listed here and not stop at the house in Provenza. The girl did her best to calm the situation as people felt deceived.”
A lively Medellín night on a party bus with DJ music and Antioquian tastings, starting in El Poblado and ending near Parque Lleras.
“Suzy was my tour guide and she was fun, accommodating, and friendly. My group for the tour only had about 10 people but we had a blast! Everyone was dancing the whole time! Suzy let us all pick songs we wanted. The tour has 4 stops (1 liquor store, 1 bridge for pics, 1 arepa spot, and 1 ceviche spot), you get 1 beer and 1 empanada when you get on the bus so make sure to get drinks at the liquor store. And the bus is about 3.5hrs long 7-10:30pm. We had such a great time!”
