We had a great tour with Oscar! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Medellin and Comuna 13 and I appreciated all that he shared with us. Comuna 13 is a great place to visit and I’m glad I found this tour!

The guide cancel the tour last minute : (

Martynas_N, Feb 2024

We booked this tour and paid, but the guide canceled the tour because we did not have Whatsapp number.. Crazy tour agency. We did not get our money back and lost opportunity to visit Comuna 13. Avoid this tour agency!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We will report you to Tripadvisor. We have copies of all your messages. We host the tour at 3pm, you booked for 3pm and your flight did not arrive on time to join us on the tour at 3pm. We found a guide to host a private tour for you at 4pm. We sent you 4 messages to confirm with the guide directly. We did everything to accomadate you. You should be more honest in your review. In addition, we would have been more than happy to refund your money. Unbelievable. Your flight is late. You are late to arrive to the hotel. You are late to arrive for the 3pm tour and we are a "crazy tour agency" for trying to accomadate you with a private tour that you did not confirm with the guide directly as we asked you knowing you were not 100% sure what time your flight would arrive in Medellín. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Colombia. We will report your dishonest review to Tripadvisor. Have a beautiful day.

Walter was a fantastic...

Walter was a fantastic guide and comuna 13 was a wonderful experience. Walter taught us all about the history, and it was great to see how far the place has come.

Great tour!

Linda_W, Feb 2024

Awesome tour, learned so much! I also really appreciate that this tour provides the opportunity to take the metro and gondola.

Great tour of the city.

Fun adventure

Vania_L, Jan 2024

Great tour! Walter was a wonderful guide—funny and full of historical knowledge about the area. It’s was fun taking the metro, bus, cable car and escalators to get to this neighborhood. Highly recommend it.

Enjoyable and Interesting

Anders_S, Jan 2024

Very enjoyable and interesting to learn how an area was turned around from the worst crime area to a very low crime area.

Great value for money,...

Morten_G, Jan 2024

Great value for money, the guide is a true local. You can easily visit Comuna 13 by yourself, but with this tour, you get the background story about the transformation.

Very cool experience with an awesome tour guide

Samuel_D, Jan 2024

Extremely cool tour. Best part of our time in Medellin. Oscar was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for - he grew up in Medellin and personally knew some of the graffiti artists. He had a ton of knowledge about the past violence and history of the comuna. He was very knowledgeable and generally a cool guy, plus he also gave us some great recommendations for after the tour. I especially recommend this tour because we got to take all forms of public transportation with someone who knows the routes. (Metro > Bus > Gondola). Gracias por todo, Oscar!

Good experience

Emily was a phenomenal tour guide. She shared the history of Medellín and the comunas, and was very well informed on the country’s political climate throughout the development starting in the 80’s.

I had a great time touring comuna 13! I loved being immersed into the culture & seeing all of the local street performers/ artwork. Camilo was a great tour guide! He’s a nice guy who’s very knowledgeable of the area & able to communicate easily to English speaking people. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!
