5Comuna 13 ... A Vibe in Medellín
Our tour guide Walter was extremely knowledgeable about Medellín and the Comuna 13 history. He was also very familiar with how to navigate public transportation to get to our destination and get back. Walter was informative and having him as our guide kept me from feeling overwhelmed with all the activity that goes on in Comuna 13 because it's certainly meant to be a tourist trap. I got to enjoy some sweet treats, do some good shopping, and take awesome photos with nice scenic views.
4Great Experience
I really enjoyed all the history and colorful spots. We got to experience what residents live on a day by day basis. Cable Cord and Metro experience was amazing, but if you get claustrophobic, try to avoid this tour. You have to walk a lot but its totally worth it!!
5Tour of Communa 13
A very insightful and enjoyable tour of how a communa in the hills of Medellin transformed itself. The guide provided many historical details on the struggles of the community against guerilla and paramilitary forces which ultimately led to an area that is quite lively, enjoyable and safe.
4I had an amazing...
I had an amazing experience with my tour guide camillo. As someone who traveled solo I felt overly safe while touring. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Medellin. The only thing I would say is we didn't have the opportunity to take photos in front of the landmarks/ Columbia signs. But other than that greaattt tour. 10/10 recommend.
5Excellent.
Angel demonstrated great professionalism and passion in his work, combining extensive knowledge with a readiness to address all our needs.
5Must do in Medellin Comuna 13 with Camilo
Camilo is a fun-tactic guide. Knowledgeable and invested in helping his neighbors, neighborhood, and future generations. Evidently he is also the “unofficial” mayor of Comuna 13-greeted by children and adults alike everywhere we went. Trip involves all types of public transportation-which is truly amazingly well thought out, clean, and affordable. Lots of walking up and down steps, fantastic views, and lots of happy people abound. Music everywhere, blasting from scooters, windows, stores and ???? Highly recommend this tour.

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.
Top-ranked sights in Medellín: Guatapé (Pueblo de Zócalos), Plaza Botero, Pueblito Paisa .
