  Our guide, John David was absolutely incredible. Hilarious and witty, he explained everything wonderfully. Gave great historical context and was super helpful. Honestly he made us laugh out loud several times. The tour was great and although we got caught in the rain and had to end the tour early I would still do it again! Thank u for everything

• 5This tour was excellent. ...

  This tour was excellent. We were taken all over the city to places like Plaza Botero, Paisa town, and the best of them all Communa 13. Also, we rode the metro and the cable cars in Medellin. My tour guide gave me the English version of the tour since I was the only American which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour.

• 5The Perfect Introduction to Medellín & Comuna 13

  This was a fantastic way to experience so many different sides of Medellín in one day! Our first stop was Plaza Botero, which I found really interesting. I wasn’t very familiar with Fernando Botero or his distinctive style of sculpture before this tour, so I really enjoyed learning about the artist and seeing his work throughout the plaza. We had plenty of time to walk around, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and take some great pictures. From there, we headed to Pueblito Paisa, a charming little area designed to resemble a traditional Antioquian town. We grabbed some coffee and treats, explored the colorful colonial-style buildings, and enjoyed the atmosphere before continuing on. Next was the Medellín Metrocable, which was another highlight. The ride was a lot of fun and gave us some incredible views of Medellín as we traveled high above the city and into the hills. We got some fantastic pictures from up there! Then it was on to Comuna 13, where the real fun began. We learned about the neighborhood’s incredibly difficult history, including the violence, armed conflict, and loss experienced by the community, as well as the remarkable transformation that has taken place since then. Today, the area is filled with color, murals, music, dancing, and hip-hop culture. Everywhere you look there seems to be another artist painting, performing, dancing, or rapping. Our guide made the experience even more entertaining and even treated us to a rap of his own! We had such a great time walking through the neighborhood, seeing the artwork, listening to the music, and learning the stories behind what we were seeing. Overall, this was an excellent introduction to Medellín. You get art, history, beautiful city views, traditional Colombian culture, and the energy of Comuna 13 all in one tour. I would definitely recommend it!

  Wish we had more time in Comuna 13, other than that it was a decent tour of the city. First couple of stops were meh, didn’t warrant 45 min per stop.

• 5Optimal organisation to appreciate Medellin during a first time visit

  Excellent tour of the main interesting and touristic spots in Medellin. The best part is definitely la Cmuna 13, thanks to the involvement of local guides, such as Kevin, who belong to the Comuna.

About Medellín

Medellín is Colombia's spring-like city in the Andes, known for its cable cars, vibrant neighbourhoods and remarkable story of transformation.

The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.
