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.

Great!! And it was led by Sara, who speaks perfect English and knows everything about the community! Even better: Casa Colacho is a central local project, with lots of volunteer work and offers for young people - rap, street art, art, cooking... Anyone who books here supports it. And at the end of it all, they get to spend their own "day" spraying.

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!! 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!!

While in Comuna 13 I saw many people visiting the area on their own and taking pics of the graffitis which is for sure possible safetywise and definitely cheaper (this tour has an almost European price) but I'm happy I took the tour because I got to know the history and meaning of most graffitis and our local guide took us also to a couple of street artists galleries and cafes. Our guide spoke fluent English and had a direct personal experience of the facts he was telling us but he still tried to be politically neutral. He was very relaxed but still entertaining (not those guides who "overdo" things and treat you like idiots on holiday if you know what I mean). On our way on the cable cars there was also plenty of time to talk about other aspects of Medellin and Colombia's recent history not related to Comuna 13. I definitely recommend the tour. To complete our full-immersion we paid a visit to the less known Museo Casa de la Memoria and that was the perfect way to wrap the day.

Don’t miss this tour if you’re in Medellin. We wanted to visit Comuna 13 and were going to do it alone. We were recommended this tour and I’m glad to say we listened. We had to meet Walter at a station. We used the metro line and metro cable. Walter knows so much about Medellin. We all asked him lots of questions as his English is so good. Comuna 13 is so interesting but this trip is about so much more than that. The public transport, food sampling, history, politics, music, art.... need I go on!!!

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
