Fantastic day - We had a fantastic day with Christian exploring Communa 13. The fact that he grew up in the neighborhood and could share personal stories and take us "off the beaten track" (as well as to the tourist spots) was very special.

Thank you for your hospitality Commune 13! - Excellent tour of commune 13 with Yonathan de AIC, definitely the best way to know commune 13 of Medellin and know and recognize its history of tenacity, when walking through the streets you see that "union makes strength", super recommended!!

so beautiful especially in the evening - i felt incredibly welcomed and i loved to learn so many things about the history and resilience of the people that live in the comuna. alex was amazing:)

Excellent Tour - We had the tour with Cindy, a local and a love of person. We loved how he told us all the stories and gave a little of his presepticity to the narrative. It took us around places not so crowded by tourists, so it made the tour feel a little more special. Cindy even showed us her street where she lives! We were given a taste of mango biche ice cream that was super rich for the heat. All the experiences were amazing!

Comuna 13 is a must - If you want to get a true understanding of life in Colombia and Comuna 13 then you have to use this tour group. Our tour guide Christian lives in Comuna 13 and he was fabulous! Make sure he takes you in the new gallery. Also ask him to show you The Worm's gallery. His pieces are fabulous and so affordable.

A must when visiting Comuna 13 - Great tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. Made everyone feel confortable and made sure we all had time to take photos . Make sure to visit Comuna 13 with a guide otherwise you will be missing out the local perspective and how the neighborhood has trasformed theirs lives. Ask for Thomas.

Good pace and very educational. - We had a lovely day with Juan and our walking group through comuna 13. The tour was well prepared and staged so we got to see lots and learn much about the history and culture of the area. Beware though that comuna 13 can get CRAZY busy in high season. I advise you book an early tour or during the week. Otherwise the streets are heaving with tourists and it's hard to move around. Not at all unsafe or uncomfortable, but a better experience with a little more breathing room.

Super informative - Great tour with Johanna who told us her own story, super recommended! Very interesting what the community has achieved.

Excelentr Commune Tour 13 - Excellent tour, very well explained its history and excellent attitude of the guide, always energetic, the phenomenal ice cream. I'll be back.

Didn't find it particularly enjoyable / informative - This was a bit of a strange tour. The tour guide grew up in the area but didn't really give any explanation of the story of the transformation of this district. What we received was mostly in the form of disparate anecdotes in the style of teenage boasting - talking about invisible borders that he had to cross to see all his girls, gangsters who executed people on football fields and played football after, and look at these bullet holes. This was in between stopping at a seemingly random selection of murals with no clear narrative arc and stopping to simply point out other towns on the horizon with no indication of their significance. As a final surreal ending - the tour finished at the guide's house that meant that people had to get directions for how to get to the bus/ taxi stop to get back to the start point. This tour may be good for groups of young guys who want to get instagrammable photos of themselves near various murals whilst hearing some war stories from someone who was there but if you want to learn the fascinating story of how one of the most violent and unruly neighbourhoods came into being and was recently transformed, I would look elsewhere.
