The artistic activities, the coffee and cocoa experience with the barista and the guide were very good!
The tour stood out as the highlight of our trip to Medellin! I wasn’t sure what to anticipate, but the experience proved deeply engaging and moving, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about Commune 13’s history and its current residents. Kevin proved an outstanding tour guide—I appreciated how he rarely walked more than five meters without high-fiving or fist-bumping a local. He clearly enjoys widespread recognition and affection within the neighborhood. The snacks his aunt prepared were excellent 🤗, and the coffee and chocolate tasting was equally impressive—we never felt pressured to purchase or consume anything. Doing so would have been challenging anyway, since everything was already included! The value felt remarkable. Thank you so much, Kevin!
The experience was super cool, the guide was super friendly, she clarified all our doubts.
Verónica was very kind and explained a lot about the history of the comuna.
A fun experience in Comuna 13 and it's history.
Laura was a great guide; she has a lot of knowledge and charisma, making the tour very pleasant. The tour was quite complete; I recommend it.

Verónica was a very kind and efficient guide in her work. She explained the history of La Comuna 13 to us in detail, including dates. From its beginnings to the present time and the most important events.
I loved the experience, especially because of the guide who assisted me! Thank you very much, Vero!
