“Our guide was an incredible host in Medellín — full of energy and made the whole night so much fun. We hit a bunch of different bars, local spots, and rooftops, and the vibe was amazing everywhere. Because the company is local, they know the best places and the right people, so we walked straight into the clubs. Everything felt easy and well-organized. Highly recommend booking with Vibe Colombia if you want a fun, stress-free Medellín nightlife experience.”Read full review

Questions guests ask
How do you keep the night safe?
Safety is our priority. You're with a professional local guide the whole night, moving as a small group between hand-picked venues we know and trust. We coordinate the route, skip the lines, and keep the group together, so you can relax and enjoy. Guests, including solo and solo-female travelers, regularly tell us they felt comfortable from start to finish.
Where and when does the tour start?
The tour begins at 9:00 PM in the Provenza district of El Poblado, Medellín. The exact meeting point is shared after booking (and in your tour's WhatsApp group) to keep things smooth and secure. Plan for about 3–4 hours.
What's included in the price?
Admission to three or more venues (always including a rooftop), skip-the-line access, your professional local guide, and full group coordination. Some nights include extra perks (like welcome shots and snacks) that vary by venue. Drinks and snacks beyond any included perks aren't covered.
How do we get between venues?
We move together as a group and coordinate everything, with no figuring out taxis or addresses on your own. Details and live updates come through your tour's private WhatsApp group.
How much do drinks cost?
Drinks aren't included; you pay for them at each venue, by card or cash. As a guide, beer is usually 6,000 to 13,000 COP depending on whether it's local or imported, and mixed drinks and cocktails usually run 50,000 to 100,000 COP depending on the ingredients.
Do you help us get home after the tour?
Transport home isn't included. When the guided part of the night ends you're free to keep going or head back on your own. Taxis and ride apps are easy to find in El Poblado.
What should I wear?
Smart-casual is a safe bet. Many Provenza and El Poblado clubs prefer no shorts, no flip-flops, and closed shoes for men. Dress like you're going out in a nice city and you'll be fine.
Do you host bachelor parties or private group events?
Yes! Private and celebration groups (bachelor and bachelorette parties, birthdays, friend trips, team outings) are some of our favorite nights, and we can tailor the experience to your group. See our Groups & Private Events page or message us on WhatsApp.
7 more questions
Is there an age requirement?
Yes. This is a nightlife tour, so all guests must be 18 or older, and you need a valid ID or passport: some venues require it at the door.
Is Medellín safe?
It is one of the most common questions we get, and the honest answer is that Medellín today is far safer than the reputation from old movies and TV shows. The city has transformed: its homicide rate has dropped more than 90% since the early 1990s and in 2024 reached its lowest level since 1942, around 11 per 100,000 residents, which is lower than several major US cities. Our nightlife tour runs in El Poblado and Provenza, which are lively and well-policed, with locals and visitors out every night, and our downtown tour stays in the busy historic center during the day. As in any big city the main thing to watch is petty theft like phones and wallets, and the easiest way to not worry about any of it is exactly what you are booking: you will be with a local guide who knows the city, keeps the group together, and handles everything so you can just enjoy the experience. Guests, including solo and solo-female travelers, regularly tell us they felt comfortable the whole time.
Can I come solo?
Absolutely. Solo travelers are a big part of our groups, and this is one of the best ways to meet other travelers and locals in a safe, social setting. You won't feel out of place. And the tour runs even if yours is the only booking that day.
How big are the groups?
Up to 10 guests per guide. When a date fills up we can often bring in another guide, so if the day you want shows as full, or you are coming with a bigger group, message us and we will try to make it work. And the tour runs even if yours is the only booking.
How do I book?
The best price and easiest experience is to book directly with us on our website: you get live availability, secure card payment, and instant confirmation. You can browse all our tours and book here. Prefer a marketplace? You can also find us on Airbnb Experiences and GetYourGuide. After you book, we will send you a link with all your tour info. A few days before the tour we will send you an invite to join your tour's WhatsApp group so you can communicate with your guide and other people on the tour in the days leading up to the experience.
What's the cancellation policy?
Cancel at least 24 hours before the tour starts and you get a full refund. Inside the final 24 hours, bookings are non-refundable. If you booked directly on our website, the refund goes back to your card automatically. If you booked through Airbnb or GetYourGuide, cancel there and their process applies (same 24-hour policy).
Do the guides speak English?
Yes. All our guides speak English and Spanish, so the tour runs in whichever language the group prefers, or in both when the group is mixed.
