Pueblito Paisa sits ontop of the Nutibara Hill. It is a reproduction of a typical Colombian town outside of the city.

Comuna 13 was once considered the most dangerous neighborhood in all of Medellin. Today, it is completely safe. The neighborhood was able to change thanks to the citizens, and the art that each one of them provides. We will walk you through the entire neighborhood showcasing the different styles of art that they provide. This includes grafitti, gastronomy, brewing, music, sculptures, and many other types of art. This is the main attraction in Medellin right now, and we will tell you the story of how things were able to turn around for the Comuna 13.

You cannot appreciate Medellin if you don’t go downtown or to Comuna 13. Edison was hands down one of the best tour guides we had all week. Down to earth, spoke English, and was so knowledgeable about any questions we asked. I cannot recommend him enough. Wear comfy shoes because you will WALK! But it was well worth it.
Edison was such a great guide and very knowledgeable. He took us over all the historic sites, sharing history and fun facts. We also got to indulge in Colombian treats which was definitely a plus. This was my third time in Medellín and this tour was definitely the best. Gracias Edison!
Edison was such a wonderful guide! He was very knowledgeable on the history of Colombia and provided insightful knowledge. He went above and beyond on making our experience today an amazing one. Would definitely recommend this tour!
Great day seeing cultural locations. Informative and knowledgeable guide who showed his love for his city!
The tour was great. We enjoyed all the sculptures in Botero park as well as the museum. The highlight, by far, was the tour of Columna 13. The energy, colors, music, food and everything else were spectacular. Our guide Carlos was great and took the time to show us all the ‘cool’ places and answered all our questions.
Our private tour with Angel was great! He was very kind and knowledgeable, and he took amazing pictures of us at each stop. Thank you for showing us a good time in Medellín!
Great experience. Edison is an amazing guide. He knows a lot about the area and answered any questions we had. We tried different local food as well as drinks. Highly recommended.
100% recommended. All very well organized. We really enjoyed it, Edison our very friendly guide and an excellent guide.
This tour was great! It hit all the highlights of Medellín without any hassles. Our guide Angel G was fabulous. He was very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and a great driver too. He also took lots of pictures for us.
The experience was interesting, especially in the final part of the 13th commune. The initial part of the tour was very fast and only passed through the central square (15 inutos), getting very running and not exploring the locations that are nearby. This point should be improved. Guia Márcio Alves was very attentive and explaining.
