Great tour! - Our Comuna 13 tour was one of the highlights of our time in Colombia! Adrian was an absolutely fantastic guide — so knowledgeable, passionate, and full of interesting history and insight about the area. He made the whole experience fun, engaging, and memorable from start to finish. We loved trying all the different street food along the way, and Adrian went above and beyond to make sure everything was vegetarian for me, which I really appreciated. He was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely cared that everyone in the group was having a great time. He looked after us thoroughly, answered every question, and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Comuna 13, we highly recommend going with Adrian — he made the experience truly special!

We enjoy the tour as he was super informative and he took great care of everyone who we went with. We had the opportunity to ride the train, cable cart, local bus which made our experience more authentic while visiting communa 13. We got to try local food and ice pop too. Ask for Royhel as your guide, you won't regret it.

Magic of Medellin!! - We had a fabulous time visiting the iconic community of Comuna 13. Sour guide, Adrian, was fantastic - so informative and passionate about Medellin and this community. It’s such a vibrant and colour place. It was great to see local hip hop dancers and rappers doing their thing and involving the crowd watching them. Adrian did a great job in keeping everyone together when travelling on the metro, cable car and local buses. The last stop included a cold beer with a great view point. A must do in Medellin.

Great tour, I highly recommend. - John, was our guide was excellent, personable, extremely knowledgeable and very patient. We had some people who were late for our return times. He never rushed us and I believe made everyone feel comfortable. He gave us ample time at each stop. He had a genuine concern for the comfort and safety of all in the group. Alejandro, the driver was also excellent and obeyed all traffic laws and never sped. Great driver. 👍🏾👍🏾

Unforgettable tour - We had a great tour, it was very interesting to take the Medellin public transit on the metro and the bus. We learned about the history of Medellin and Comuna 13, enjoyed a frozen ice cream and empanadas, and saw a dance show. I would highly recommend this tour, was a great balance to have a guide to navigate the public transit but still very easygoing with the timeline and stops we made.

How do Colombians live in Medellin - That's how fantastic I thought it was. And much longer than 4 hours. The guide did very well. Seen so much during this tour and the international group, also very nice. Beautiful view from a great height. Very informative.
