Medellin Travels

Medellin Travels is a small, family-run tour company and reseller of private tours and transfers based in Medellín, Colombia. The business markets and sells private sightseeing, day‑trip and transfer services (Comuna 13 Graffiti & Metrocable, Guatapé & El Peñol, Pablo Escobar / historical tours, coffee & food experiences, airport transfers and bespoke private itineraries) directly to consumers via its own website and through major experience marketplaces (Viator / TripAdvisor, GetYourGuide, Airbnb Experiences). ([medellintravels.com](https://www.medellintravels.com/)) The company is presented as a family operation founded and run by Alex and Lina (the About page describes Alex and Lina as the founders and outlines a social impact initiative they run that began in 2009). Medellin Travels emphasizes English‑fluent, certified local guides, private‑party experiences in air‑conditioned vehicles, and a model of donating a portion of direct‑booking revenue to local social projects (the “Lend Me A Hand” initiative). This local/insider positioning appears to be their key differentiator for international visitors seeking private, English‑led tours. ([medellintravels.com](https://www.medellintravels.com/about-us-giving-back/)) From a scale perspective, Medellin Travels operates as a single‑city operator with a catalogue of private products rather than a multi‑country aggregator — listings and customer reviews appear on Viator/GetYourGuide/TripAdvisor and Airbnb, indicating they distribute through third‑party marketplaces in addition to direct sales. Public pages and listings show regular consumer reviews and USD pricing on third‑party platforms, but the company does not publicly publish operator/supplier program details, commission schedules, or a supplier extranet.

Communication for commercial enquiries is routed through their generic contact channels (phone and email). Given the business model (they primarily operate their own tours and list them on OTAs), potential suppliers would likely need to approach Medellin Travels directly to discuss any reseller/partnership opportunities. ([medellintravels.com](https://www.medellintravels.com/contact/)) Competitive position: Medellin Travels competes as a locally rooted private‑tour operator that leverages OTA distribution for reach. Their value proposition to customers is local expertise, private/curated experiences and social impact; to suppliers this translates to potential local distribution/white‑label arrangements but no public, formalized supplier program was found in the open record.
