Great tour with lots to see and experience. Jorge was an awesome guide. Very friendly, patient, and informative. Would recommend this tour. Thanks!
Excelent tour with Jorge, very kind and profesional.
The Comuna 13 tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Colombia. Our guide Duvan shared the neighborhood’s history in a very engaging and authentic way, including personal stories that made the experience even more meaningful. It was inspiring to see how Comuna 13 has transformed from a place marked by violence into a vibrant community full of art, music, and hope. The colorful street art, talented performers, and welcoming atmosphere made this tour truly unforgettable. You can really feel the pride and passion of the local community. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín

Great morning with Joe in Communa 13! The tour itself was excellent and great value for money - we learned a lot about the area and got to try some amazing Colombian food. It was a touch difficult communicating with the company - I didn’t hear anything at all from them, but the instructions were clear on the ticket so as long as you follow those it’ll be a smooth day!
