There's a lot of walking,...
We booked not knowing we were located out of their pickup area, but instead of them canceling they picked us up. There's a lot of walking, so wear comfortable shoes and clothes. The streets are crowded and narrow. The tour was a couple hours and he didn't rush through it. Carlos was very nice and even asked if he could drop us off somewhere else besides the hotel.
Operator response
Hi Tiffany.
Thank you very much for your review, all our guides will give best experience possible, sorry that was a lot of walking for you but to experience the comuna 13 you have to go inside the area and is no roads there.
we would like to know what could we do better to have a 5 stars review.

Amazing tour of Comuna 13 with Andres!
Our visit to Comuna 13 in Medellín was absolutely unforgettable. Andre, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history and transformation of the neighborhood. He shared powerful stories that gave real insight into the resilience and creativity of the local community.
Throughout the walk, Andre made sure we were comfortable and even took beautiful photos of our group, capturing the colorful murals and vibrant atmosphere perfectly. The tour ended at a lovely restaurant with a spectacular panoramic view of Medellín — the perfect way to wrap up an inspiring day.
I highly recommend this tour and especially Andre for anyone wanting to truly experience the heart and spirit of Comuna 13!
