Excellent and professional

Highly recommended this experience.
My experience was amazing! Everything was very well organized from the beginning, and Juan was an incredible guide. He knows so much about Comuna 13 and, most importantly, he shares the real history of the place. They even showed us old pictures so we could see how much it has changed, which made the experience even more meaningful. I also really appreciated how attentive Juan was to the group. Whenever we stopped for pictures or continued walking, he always made sure everyone was together. The local stops were also special because the small shops are owned by people from the community, so you're supporting local families while experiencing the area. They provided a small snack, but I recommend eating beforehand if you have a big appetite! Bring comfortable shoes, some cash if you'd like to buy something, and lots of good energy. I would definitely recommend this tour, it was much more than just sightseeing. It was a beautiful way to learn about the history, people, and transformation of Comuna 13.

Very much enjoyed my tour...
Very much enjoyed my tour with Duvan. He is knowledgeable, fun, answered all of our questions and is clearly connected with the community we toured. I'd 100% do another tour with him in the future.

Would never do this tour again.
Honestly, the guide was really chill (Like, the tour started quite late and went another hour and a half over the scheduled time kind of chill) nice, and informative about the history of Medellín... Unfortunately, that was a very small part of the tour. That being said, the whole tour felt like a money grab. We only walked through shops selling high $USD art. It was the same black light art everywhere and there was pressure to buy everywhere. The shops even wanted cash tips to walk through, which we were more or less forced to do as part of the tour. It didn't feel cultural to me. It's not a big deal, and common in Colombia, but you have to pay to use the bathroom throughout the tour. The food quality was quite poor. I've seen pictures of the food on this type of tour (as they offer it through multiple providers and it's the same for all of them) I've seen other providers that offer better looking food. Ours was cold and flavorless. I had so many incredible meals and snacks in Colombia, and this was not it. No understanding of the cultural references to the food was provided. I think for the price I wish I hadn't done this tour and walked the area on my own instead.
