Incredible Tour, Highly Recommend 🇨🇦🇨🇴
Oct 2023 • Family
This was an incredible tour with lots of information about the history and culture not only of Comuna 13 but also Medellin in general. We booked a private tour to accommodate my 81 year old Grandpa and they gave us a reasonable price. Our guide was Oscar who was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and kind. If I could give 6/5 stars I would.

Este fue un recorrido increíble con mucha información sobre la historia y la cultura no solo de la Comuna 13 sino también de Medellín en general. Reservamos un tour privado para alojar a mi abuelo de 81 años y nos dieron un precio razonable. Nuestro guía fue Oscar, que estaba muy bien informado, era paciente y amable. Si pudiera dar 6/5 estrellas lo haría.

Very smooth, comfortable, educational tour
Jun 2023 • Couples
We booked through "Get your guide" and had a really fun tour with English-speaking guide Walter, who was highly competent, friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable (injecting some of his own personal experiences into the discussion). It was a busy holiday weekend, but Walter did a great job keeping everyone together and showing us quite a lot of Comuna 13. Highly recommend this tour!

A must see tour!!
Nov 2023 • Family
Sebastian (Crazy Face) is one of the best tour guides and performers that I’ve ever experienced. His personal knowledge of Communa 13 and his connection to the neightbood made us feel like we were with a celebrity. He made the tour very personal, welcoming and the history relatable. The experience of understanding the transition of this neighborhood from what is was to what it is, was insightful and inspiring. I would highly recommended!!

Not the best value for money
Feb 2023 • Solo
For a price of 90.000$ (!), I was expecting more than just a very short info talk about the comuna and mostly sitting around in busses, cable cars and waiting for other group members to finish buying their coffee. Other tours are way cheaper and probably offer the same or even better service

Waste of time and money
Oct 2023 • Family
The tour guide was very nice, but overall a giant waste of time and money. It’s outrageously overpriced my local standards. Very little of the actual tour is spent looking at graffiti. Instead, hours are spent on public transportation and waiting around and taking breaks. Moreover, the tour doesn’t go anywhere that you couldn’t easily discover as a tourist by yourself, even if you don’t speak Spanish. I’d highly recommend avoiding.

Incredible Non touristic tour with Onofre!!
Jun 2022 • Friends
We did the comuna 13 tour with Onofre (+57 324 5889315). This is not your normal graffiti tour but it is a tour with a local who was born and raised in comuna 13 and has seen its transformation. Onofre is a volcano of energy, he really cares that you enjoy and understand. He brought us around (he paid for the bus twice), made us see and enjoy the touristic part, but the most interesting part that I don’t think anybody else does , he brought us in the non touristic area of communa 13, to see how people live, meet the locals, see where he used to live and to meet a friend of his who used to be in the military. Incredible experience because we were able to ask questions and receive incredible answers. Onofre is a great guy and really cares about your experience. Absolutely recommended!!

This is the real Medellin
Nov 2015 • Solo
You can run around museums, parks, and other tourist attractions, or you can get your hands dirty with the people of a city. That's how I prefer to travel. This was an excellent way to meet locals and learn more about what makes Medellin tick. Andrés was an incredible guide; he seemingly knows everyone everywhere, which makes this more than just a tour through one of Medellin's formerly most dangerous neighborhoods. I had all sorts of questions (it was just me and Andrés) and I had so many curiosities piqued—and Andrés was receptive to all of it. He even provided suggestions on what I could do after the tour if I wanted to learn more, and helped me find a museum that was 1000% up my alley as a result of my expressed interests. This is NOT a "poverty tour" like they do with the Brazilian favelas. This is an introduction to a neighborhood, its past and present, and the people in it. It was invaluable and I would recommend it to anyone who travels for experiences and learning.

Carlos makes this tour worth your time and money! Above my expectations!
Oct 2016 • Solo
Carlos makes this tour!! His amazing amount of knowledge of the area, the history, and obvious passion for his city, the people and it's future is impressive and makes the tour interesting! Carlos is overly prepared for his day which is great for the tourists! He is not afraid to answer the tough questions about the past. His great relationship with the neighborhood is admirable...he invests in them and shares the wealth which is very honorable! I had the luxury of trying new food with him and learn about the characters along the walls! I would do this tour again!! Great job Carlos!!
