What To Expect
Metro de Medellin
We will take the Metro Cable in the San Javier station, in the west of the city, however in the same place we can appreciate the B line of the Metro. Here we will enjoy an unparalleled view, with the aim of being a little closer to the neighborhoods that make up Comuna 13.
Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13
The commune 13 is a place full of color, dance, life, flavor. It is a space to appreciate the transformation of a city that has been stigmatized by a difficult and violent past. Being in the middle of the community makes you part of a great family like the city, which today struggles to keep all the good that has been achieved after leaving the war behind.

Incredible time with Oscar

5.00We booked with Oscar for this tour while we were ON our Guatapé tour because we had such an amazing time with him! Traveling as 2 women in Medellín we immediately felt safe and comfortable with him - he is so funny, kind and knowledgeable. He truly made our experience in Medellín and his tour of Comuna 13 was emotional, fun and incredibly informative. He is clearly a member of the community and a lot of people know him - he even was able to introduce us to one of the street artists who was working that day. He is very special and worth every penny!

5.00This is the best Comuna 13 tour to book. Our tour guide Julio César is a wealth of knowledge and the cable car was the perfect opportunity to get a detailed history before you immerse yourself in the rich culture of the neighborhoods vendors and artists.
Unforgettable walk through Comuna 13’s history

5.00Our private tour of Comuna 13 and cable car experience on Oct 31, was incredible. Oscar, our guide, was very knowledgeable, personable, and fun! He provided us with an insiders look into the history of the community and the people. More, he shared how the history depicted in the graffiti, tells a story that all Paisa can attest to, as all were impacted. Strongly recommend this tour and Oscar, if you visit Medellin!

5.00We had a great tour with Henry. We were able to see. Comuna 13 and walk the amazing neighborhood. Henry was able to tell us the history of the neighborhood and how it transformed from being under the rule of a drug lord and one of the most dangerous places in the world tour tourist Haven the transformation was amazing. We also stopped by Pablo Escobar's safe house and where he was captured as it was on the way Henry was a great tour guide very flexible which was great because this was the last stop on our nine day trip to Colombia and we were already tired.

5.00Loved our tour around Comuna 13 with Henry. He was very knowledgeable and also flexible - we had two very young children with us and he adjusted the pace to ensure they could keep up with the walking. He shared so many insights about the area, and we learnt so much. A real highlight of the trip, and Henry was excellent. We would recommend to anyone!
Fantastic experience with Henry!

5.00We had the best day with Henry! He was flexible with the pace as we had two young children with us, and was so knowledgable and passionate about the area. It was a highlight of the trip, we learnt so much, and he even gave us some amazing food recommendations for our afternoon. Would highly recommend this trip if you’re looking for a tour guide who isn’t pushy, and enables you to explore the area at your own pace!
