4.00It was a good experience overall. The guide was very nice, funny and friendly. I just thing it is a bit overpriced. But, it's ok anyway.
Great city views and chance to see Colombia’s transformation of the area.

5.00Camillo was an incredible guide who knew people and kids in the community personally. I was happy to have his insider perspective and guidance exploring the details of Communa 13. I would not have been able to do this activity by myself!
Great tour

3.00Nice tour of Comuna 13. I was (un)lucky enough to be in a small group. Unfortunately I had requested the guide in Spanish but they assembled the two available languages and, since I was in the minority, the tour was done in English. It was a little annoying. The friendly guide but I would have preferred more information about the place while he devoted himself to chatting with the two American tourists.

4.00Pick up point was easy and convenient if you are staying in the Pablado area and they supply you with photos etc to make even more simple. First up the cable car ride. Don’t expect to get off because you are there for the views and what a view. Onto Comuna 13. It’s vibrant and colourful and full of energy. If you think the views are good from the cable car just wait till your sipping in a cool cerveza whilst looking out onto the views of Medellin. If you’re lucky enough to have Walter as a guide you’ll be entertained and informed as you go through the tour with his tales of Comuna 13 and his razor sharp wit !
