The Metrocable is a cable car network, of the monocable type; for the urban mobilization of passengers in Medellín.
The Medellín River has been one of the main sources of development in the city. Not in vain, the first Metro line was built following that flow that crosses the entire Metropolitan Area and creating a harmonious relationship between the region and its tributary. This is just one example of a territorial planning model that has been consolidated for 60 years and that allows the planning and integrated growth of the territory to be coordinated while respecting the river.
Our guides pick up passengers in the lobby or waiting room of the hotel where they are staying. Travelers are then taken for a ride on the Metro cable cars or better known as Metro Cable, this place offers incredible panoramic views of the city of Medellín, ideal for those passionate about photography. Then we went with the travelers to the neighborhood of Comuna 13, there we showed them street art of the place composed of a Break Dance Show, a Rap Show and what interests us most, all the graffiti in the place. Sometimes when we are lucky we can see the works that are in progress and when this happens we can interact with the artists. Throughout the entire tour in Comuna 13 we will be accompanied by a Local guide who will tell us the meaning of each of the works.
To carry out the tour in the Commune 13 we will use the electrical stairs of the place, which represent the engine of change for this community. Initially they were installed to improve the mobility of people within the place, but over the years it became the letter of introduction of the Commune 13, that is, with this infrastructure work began all the transformation of the place accompanied by art urban.

The experience was amazing. Our guide Juan was exceptionally awesome. Very knowledge base and helpful. As english speakers he ensured we were well taken care of and always in the know. Aside from our guide being on the ball of things, the tour it self is something I will be talking about for days. The rich history, energy and friendliness of the persons there will draw anyone in. They were accommodative and made our vist very memorable. This experience is something to book and look forward to.
A very beautiful experience, the city tour was excellent, more than we expected, our guide Juan David and the driver Pablo were excellent hosts, I recommend them 100%, Greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻
We had an incredible experience on our Medellín City Tour and Comuna 13 tour! The city itself is beautiful and full of history, culture, and transformation, but what truly made this experience unforgettable was our tour guide, Janeth. Janeth was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, and engaging from start to finish. She shared the history of Medellín and Comuna 13 in a way that was both informative and inspiring, giving us a deeper appreciation for the city’s remarkable transformation. She answered every question with enthusiasm and made everyone in the group feel welcome. Walking through Comuna 13, seeing the vibrant street art, local performers, and hearing the stories behind the neighborhood was an experience we’ll never forget. Janeth’s genuine love for her city and her ability to connect with people made the tour truly special. If you’re visiting Medellín, I highly recommend this tour—and if you have the opportunity to tour with Janeth, consider yourself lucky. She is an extraordinary guide who goes above and beyond to make your experience memorable. Thank you, Janeth, for an unforgettable day!
Guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating since I dont speak Spanish
Alejandra and the driver Jan Carlos did great job with all the group. Mateo, from comuna 14, was great too. We are going to comeback by next year.
The City Tour was a great experience and although the tour guide was friendly, I wish she would have engaged a bit more with the tourists.
Good tour, the commune guide was excellent, she gave us a very good explanation, my recommendation is that the main guide give a little more detail about the sites visited, which is what one expects. The lunch was super delicious, the whole tour was well organized.
Very good guides, attentive and cool, Luisa (Comuna 13), Anyeno (Rio Claro), Marilyn (Hacienda Napoles) and Valentina (Guatape).
We loved the city tour, we did it with Juan David and it was excellent, very well explained and fun, we had a great time.
I want to thank each of the guides we had on the different tours we took: Jannete, Sebastian, Marcela, and the drivers Jorge, Camilo, and Jorge (the one who took us to the La Palma viewpoint), and also the one who took us to the rock in Guatapé, as well as the boat captain Mario. Thank you all for your attention and dedication so that we could enjoy each of the experiences we lived on the different tours we took. You are a fantastic team; the gastronomy, prices, and recommendations were very acceptable; the responsibility and punctuality were excellent. So, it is worth doing each and every one of the tours that this company offers. I invite you to immerse yourselves in each of these formidable adventures. A very special recognition to Vanessa Diaz, the girl who did the coffee and fruit tour for us, a very professional girl. Blessings.
