Fez all the difference, the local guide that led me, Juan David (instagran: jdxarte100) Local resident of Comuna 13 who is heartfelt about the spectacular transformation of this very picturesque place. I was delighted with the form and content as he showed me local art (graffiti, crafts, music, dance), food, typical drinks, and his own history of transformations, sufferings and joys.
It is very important to value the local guides that are positioned at the exit of the metro station that gives access to Comuna 13, as well as being on other parts of Comuna 13, where we can hire them at their own premises and with affordable access and impeccable service.
I highly recommend!!!

WOW WOW WOW, what an amazing Tour and fantastic Tour Guide, thank you WALTER.
I rarely go on organised tours but I am so glad I went on Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour as the sites and sounds were outstanding and I will remember these forever.
WALTER has such a huge knowledge of the Comuna (he was brought up there) and everyone seemed to know him, which enhance the feeling I got of belonging.
He is putting back into his community by showing us tourists the area and sharing his huge knowledge of the Comuna's history....he even sponsors one of the huge painted graffiti pieces.
I do not want to spoil your experience so all I will say is this is by far and away the best 4 hours I have spent since I have been travelling Central American in the past 4 weeks.
Thank you WALTER and the people of Comuna 13 for being so friendly and welcoming.

The tour was absolutely fantastic. Oscar was an amazing guide, providing us very clear, informative and in the same time personal accounting of the history of the Comuna 13 as he was grown down the hill. For being a graffiti artist himself and having contributed to some of the wall paintings in Comuna 13, it was as if an inhabitant opened us the door of the Comuna and welcomed us. We were there my wife and I and our three kids, and all agreed it was our best experience in Medellin. A must.

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.

We contacted Onofre on the advice of a friend who had highly recommended it to us, we were not disappointed!!
From the start, we feel the infectious enthusiasm of this resident born in the neighborhood, who has lived there for 35 years! Onofre knows everyone!
That day, there were only 2 of us, so we were allowed a private tour.
We started in the tourist part, with an explanation of some frescoes, then very quickly, Onofre offered to take us to the more authentic and less "prepared" part of the neighborhood to feel the daily life of the inhabitants, discover the alleys and small brick houses, which most free spins do not do.
We made several stops, often to taste exotic fruits, grilled ants, panela etc. or exchange a few words with local residents and children, always very curious.
This visit will remain engraved in our minds, one of our best travel memories!
Better to go during the week, not on weekends, to avoid the crowds.

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

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!

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!!

I would highly recommend a visit, ideally, with a local guide to support the area. Our guide was an ex drug addict who had really turned his life around.
It's a very vibrant area and perfectly safe. However it was much busier and commercial than I had expected, although a lot of fun.
Some excellent street art, hip hop, break dancing, street food - and lots of shops and stalls. The escalators were a great innovation.
This place now gets more visitors than anywhere else!

This tour is interesting and our guide was lovely, authentic and knowledgeable but it took four hours and really could have been done in two.
At the end it felt we were obliged to stop at various places so we could spend more money, which I understand but it all felt a bit too commercial in the end.
Very well organised transportation with nice touches of ice cream and bus fares already sorted.

Buen día, muy pronto estaré en Medellín con mi familia.
Al salir de la estación del Metro San Javier, el bus que me lleva al comienzo del recorrido ¿se paga en efectivo o con tarjeta o tiquete del Metro? ¿con una sola tarjeta recargada con suficiente dinero se puede pagar el pasaje de todos los que vayan conmigo?
Written November 30, 2019
Normalmente en la estación de Javier hay personas que los llevan a la visita guiada, lo unico es que les recomiendo es cuantas personas van hacer parte del grupo, pues me parece que abusan y llevan muchisimas como nos paso a nosotros, que hasta personas de pie ibamos en la buseta la cual te lleva donde empieza el recorrido, a llos se les puede pagar con tarjeta credito y su costo es de $30.000 pp
