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 !
Walter treated us like his friends, excellent service.

5.00Our guide, Cristian, was excellent. The service, history and information were excellent. I was answering our questions, doubting the issues. The knowledge of the neighborhood, the people and the history makes it even more interesting to really know the tourist origin of commune 13. Do not hesitate to do it.

5.00We started with a scenic metro ride to the metrocable, which offered stunning views over comuna 13 as we glided above the neighborhood. After a short bus tour to the touristic center of the comuna 13 we could watch a breakdance performance and explore the street art. Our guide was phenomenal. Friendly, funny and very engaging. He shared stories about the transformation of the barrio and explained the deep meaning behind a lot of graffitis we stopped at. After visiting a local bar, our guide took us through a quieter area where we glimpsed the authentic daily life in the comuna. His personal anecdotes added a lot of connection to the experience. From start to finish, it was perfectly organized and genuinely fun. Don’t miss this tour, highly recommended!
