Annie did a great job explaining the history of Communa 13. Her English was excellent. She made everyone feel safe and comfortable
Great tour - my guide Celestial was very friendly, and knowledgable about the neighborhood. Highly recommended. We took the metro to the cable cars to the local bus. Stop for a refreshing paleta if it gets too hot
Amazing experience, Camilo fue el mejor en enseñar y aprender de! Lo recomiendo! Every stop we made was memorable and informational, and its worth it!
This was such an enjoyable experience. My tour guide was so knowledgeable and the way he transferred the information kept me engrossed and interested. He painted the history perfectly showing and highlighting every noteworthy place throughout the tour. Christian was absolutely amazing and I’m so glad we did this tour. From the time we stepped into the metro, the storytelling began. He carried us to the coffee spots, the attractions, the bars, the views and allowed us to interact with the people. I highly recommend this tour
This was a very informative tour. It provided the right balance of history, allowing us to purchase items, feeling safe and having a very versatile tour guide. I loved every minute of it.
Christian was very knowledgeable and patient throughout the whole tour. He was very clear in explaining the history of Comuna 13 and navigating the tour. He took us from the top to the bottom which was such an excellent idea. I would definitely recommend him to others.
Our tour guide was wonderful; he explained the history of Comuna 13 and all the activities there! Recommended!
Our tour guide was awesome! Very knowledgeable of history and passionate about his country and the Comuna 13 area.
It was a nice to experience metro, cable car and bus to reach communa 13 even though we could had taken an uber. The guide Christian kept telling us the history of the place. It was a great experience on our first day in Madellin.
I rate it as 3 out of 5 because there were things that could be improved, such as the rush to finish everything. The guide is very kind, but something was happening that day as he was in a hurry, at times he was a bit heavy with comparisons between our country and his, however, he changed his attitude afterward and we learned a lot.
