Amazing tour of Comuna 13 with Andres! - Our visit to Comuna 13 in Medellín was absolutely unforgettable. Andre, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and transformation of the neighborhood. He shared powerful stories that gave real insight into the resilience and creativity of the local community. Throughout the walk, Andre made sure we were comfortable and even took beautiful photos of our group, capturing the colorful murals and vibrant atmosphere perfectly. The tour ended at a lovely restaurant with a spectacular panoramic view of Medellín — the perfect way to wrap up an inspiring day. I highly recommend this tour and especially Andre for anyone wanting to truly experience the heart and spirit of Comuna 13!

Must see Comuna 13 tour - Our guide Jaime was knowledgeable and told the whole story of Comuna 13-no holds barred. The good with the bad. Very informative and gave a really good idea about the transformation this area has undergone since the 1980s.

Wonderful tour guide! - We had Carlos as a tour guide and William was our driver. We could not have had a better experience. Carlos knew practically everyone in Comuna 13 and provided many beautiful experiences for our family. We had a wonderful time. We could never have navigated the Comuna 13 without him and highly recommend him if you can get him.

There's a lot of walking,... - We booked not knowing we were located out of their pickup area, but instead of them canceling they picked us up. There's a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and clothes. The streets are crowded and narrow. The tour was a couple hours and he didn't rush through it. Carlos was very nice and even asked if he could drop us off somewhere else besides the hotel.
