Jamaicans in Comuna 13
For our 8th anniversary my husband and I spent it doing this tour, accompanied by my 64yo Mom. Our tour guide, Walter, was absolutely amazing. We had a small group and it allowed us to go at the perfect pace. There are opportunities for rest, like the cable car and the bus rides. We learnt about the history of the area and how it shaped the landscape today. Walter took us to a great spot for photos with the Mother Earth, or Pachamama, sculpture in Comuna 13. There are others but for me, this was the perfect one as it is uniquely Colombian. He was vibrant and balanced the English portion with the Spanish portion. I never felt as though he favoured one language over the other. It was a seamless switch between languages addressing both. He was easy to understand, patient with us, and kept our group safe and together throughout the entire journey. Be sure to take some cash to get street food at one of the stops, a special frozen treat at another, and of course, to get your souvenir magnets, keyrings and other trinkets. Be forewarned that this is a lot of walking but the Escalators helped a lot on the latter part. The weather cooperated too, a little hot at parts but we had multiple opportunities for hydration. We did the morning tour and when we returned to the original meeting point, we asked for Lunch recommendations and he was happy to share. Would 100% do this again, especially with a guide like Walter. Don't think about it! Book this Tour!

Don’t overthink, just do it
I thought long on doing this excursion solo & was not a big fan of being tied to strangers & possibly people from around the world that didn’t speak my language. Everyone was friendly, comforting, & energetic. Our guide Fernanda; a.k.a. Fergie bought us closer together with her enthusiasm & welcoming personality. All in all I have no regrets on this excursion and now I know people in different parts of the world if I ever visit. I recommend!!

A very interesting and recommended tour!
We took the tour about Pablo Escobar with Duvan and it was an excellent experience. We visited the Inflexion Park, his grave, the roof where he died, and his family's museum. Duvan was a very kind, professional, and prepared guide, who told us many details and curiosities. Highly recommended!

An essential experience in Medellín. Thank you, Jorge!
Visiting Comuna 13 is an experience that I recommend to anyone traveling to Medellín. However, I believe it is essential to do it accompanied by a local guide who allows you to understand the history of the neighborhood, its past, and, above all, the extraordinary transformation it has experienced.
Our guide, Jorge, made the experience truly special. He tells the history of Comuna 13 with extraordinary passion, knowledge, and level of detail. The most beautiful thing is seeing how he lives each story while he explains it and the enormous pride he feels for his community and for everything its inhabitants have achieved. He does not just explain what you are seeing: he manages to convey the emotions, the difficulties, and the hope that are behind every corner.
I also want to highlight his excellent attention throughout the tour. He was attentive to the group at all times, had a lot of patience, and, although we arrived about ten minutes late, he waited for us without any problem. It is those small details, along with his approachability and professionalism, that make the difference.
A tip: I recommend booking the tour at 4:30 PM. It is a fantastic time because it allows you to enjoy Comuna 13 during the afternoon, watch the sunset, and discover how the atmosphere changes at nightfall, when the lights turn on, the party begins, and the views of Medellín take on another dimension.
In short, an experience that goes far beyond conventional tourism. A visit to learn, get excited, and better understand Medellín and its people.
Highly recommended. And if you have the opportunity, take the tour with Jorge. Thank you very much for an unforgettable experience!

An Unforgettable Experience!
Helena’s exceptional service made this experience truly memorable. Despite the unfortunate postponement due to inclement weather during my birthday afternoon, Helena’s prompt and sincere apology was greatly appreciated. She offered to reschedule the experience for the following morning and provided transportation pickup, which was not offered for my hotel.
Upon arrival, we underwent the necessary registration process and engaged in a brief discussion with the group. Before i knew it, i was exhilarated as we embarked on a thrilling adventure down the mountain. As someone with a fear of heights, I initially anticipated a sense of apprehension, but the sheer excitement of the experience overwhelmed any fear. The breathtaking scenery and my partners exceptional guidance made the experience truly unforgettable.
Upon our descent, Helena and the team presented me with a thoughtful gesture of a banner, a delectable brownie adorned with a sparkler and a balloon. Their kindness and consideration were deeply appreciated.
I highly recommend this experience to anyone considering it. The duration definitely feels longer than the advertised time, and the memories created will last a lifetime. If you’re considering it, do it!
Thanks again, Helena !

Highly Valuable 10/10
This experience is absolutely worth it! You get to ride ATV’s all through out the mountains, and even get to stop for some delicious empanadas and booze (for purchase). Followed by a refreshing dive in a cold natural spring and a lunch with the group. This trip was super valuable and would 10/10 recommend!

A wonderful experience in Comuna 13!
Visiting Comuna 13 was a very beautiful and enriching experience during our trip to Medellín. A place full of history, culture, art, and transformation, that is definitely worth knowing.
We want to especially highlight Mateo, our guide, who with his enthusiasm, kindness, and excellent attitude made us enjoy the tour very much. At all times he was attentive, friendly, and willing to provide us with interesting information, accompanying us and guiding us appropriately throughout the visit.
His positive energy and the passion with which he shared every detail made our experience even more special.
We are taking home a beautiful memory of Comuna 13! Thank you very much, Mateo, for your dedication and for making this tour such a pleasant and memorable experience.

I don't drink coffee, but ...Wow!
Our visit to Finca La Arrinconada was one of the highlights of our trip to Medellín.
It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about Colombian coffee, from the growing and harvesting process to the preparation of the final cup. Although I don’t drink coffee, my friends do, and we really enjoyed learning about the process and tasting the final product. The experience gave us a greater appreciation for the hard work, dedication and tradition behind Colombia’s world-famous coffee.
The beautiful surroundings were rustic and felt wonderfully natural, adding to the experience and making it both relaxing and educational.
If you're visiting Medellín and looking for an authentic coffee farm experience, I would definitely recommend including this tour in your itinerary.
A memorable experience and absolutely worth it!

Great way to Tour Guatapé!
Nelson led us on a very interesting tour. Comfortable car and the private tour was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. Great to learn more about the area and see some things you miss in group tours. Nelson allowed us to take our time and didn’t interfere with our activities once we arrived. Not only was he knowledgeable he was very friendly as well. Great day from pick up to drop off.

Camilo turned my fear into an unforgettable experience! 🪂💜
A spectacular experience! 🪂✨ I arrived with a lot of fear and thanks to Camilo's patience and good energy, I managed to overcome my nerves and experience something unforgettable. He made me feel calm and confident from the very first moment. Without him, I probably wouldn't have dared! Super grateful for this experience. 1000/10, I recommend flying with Camilo! 💜

This 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.

Formerly known as one of the world’s most dangerous cities, Medellín has emerged as the City of Eternal Spring—a transformation best explained by an expert guide. Many Medellín tours head to Comuna 13, a neighborhood once plagued by violence and now celebrated as a symbol of art and hope. The surrounding countryside is full of lush jungle and waterfalls, which you can explore while ziplining, paragliding, or riding an ATV. Other popular excursions include visits to coffee farms and Guatapé for sweeping views from the top of Piedra del Peñol.
