Was a great tour. Saw so many beautiful art and culture. Sebastian our tour guide was awesome. We had a bit pf hiccup at the start as we missed the first part but our guide made it up to us. His energy was great, must do. Take a raincoat or an umbrella!
Excellent service; the guide was very kind and attentive and has a lot of knowledge about the area, and the service is 10/10.
Really nice experience overall. Be ready to interact and for a very Latin experience. Tour was on time and the guide happily answered all of our questions.
Comuna 13 in Medellín is an inspiring example of transformation. it’s now bursting with colorful murals, street performances, and a lively community spirit. Walking through its steep streets and riding the outdoor escalators offers stunning views and powerful stories of resilience. A must-visit for art, history, and culture lovers. “It’s a beautiful place with history, art, delicious street treats and nice views. The escalators and Metro Cable dramatically changed life here, it was a fantastic experience. The train rides from El Poblado to San Antonio to the other area were amazing. Our tour guide Lina Maria were adorable, she is nice, Friendly and understandable. Her English is fluent and we had a wonderful time in her present.
Very good tour and great story the guide was very good and the place very beautiful, the gondola is very pleasant audsi
Highly recommended ! Great price and great experience overall. Lina was our tour guide and she was the best. She ensured we were good and she spoke 3 languages. English , Spanish and French ! The food we tasted was delicious and we got some great photos too
While our guide was super nice, there wasn't enough content on this tour to justify the price or the four hours that it takes. While it was nice to have someone show us around Comuna 13, I think we could have just as easily researched it ourself and done a self-guided tour. Riding the cable car and walking around Comuna 13 can easily be done within two hours, but this tour stretches it out to four long hours with multiple stops of varying quality (the coffee museum took way too long and wasn't worth it; the freestyle rapping was just awkward; the free beer near the end of the tour was nice, but dragged on far too long especially since it was pouring rain and everyone was cold and wet). The tour is worth doing if you don't want to go to the hassle of figuring out how to explore Comuna 13 on your own, but it you are pressed for time or money, then this tour is not worth it.
This tour was amazing! I loved everything about it. I would do it all over again 💓 Our guide was fun and knowledgeable and overall I had a wonderful time.
Great day with a fantastic guide very informative interesting and fun I would highly recommend it 👍😁
I was looking for an all-inclusive tour to see as much as possible of Commune 13, and this tour seemed to have all aspects and compared to other similar tours was 1/4 of the price. It is a great value. However, I chose this tour because it said that the maximum amount of people was going to be 10, and we had 18 people. It can be a bit annoying during a walking tour to have that many people to keep track of. Because of the amount of people we had to stop/wait more times than I would have preferred. Other than that, it was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a spicy and authentic personality. She knew a great amount about all the murals and the history of this part of the city. Included in the tour was a popsicle, beer, and she made sure we got to see multiple break dancing groups. I would certainly recommend this tour to others! (It is a long day and lots of hills/stairs. Wear comfortable shoes)
