Tours can solve two solo-travel problems at once: orientation and an easy way to share an experience with other people. The useful way to approach this is to compare the parts of the day that actually affect you: transport, timing, group size, walking, inclusions and how much flexibility you want.
Walking and food tours are naturally social
Small-group formats make conversation easy without forcing it. They also give you a list of places to revisit alone later.
Day trips remove transport friction
A Guatapé or coffee excursion can be simpler as a solo traveler when transport is bundled. Compare the per-person price against the cost and hassle of arranging every segment yourself.
Private tours are useful for specialized interests
Solo does not always mean group. If your interest is photography, architecture, a specific historical topic or a language requirement, paying for a private guide can be worthwhile because the entire conversation can follow your questions.
Check the meeting point
A great tour at 7 a.m. is less great if the meeting point is difficult from where you are staying. Look at pickup or start location before paying, especially for early departures.
Compare current options
Use live availability as a shopping tool, then come back to the guide if you need help deciding what fits.
