Mateo was an incredible guide. He is not only extremely knowledgable about Comuna 8 and Colombia more generally, but his passion and curiosity was palatable and contagious. The tour was an opportunity to explore a less known area of Medellin and connect with the community's diverse offerings, including small local business, coffee farms and beautiful nature and waterfalls.

Amazing Insights into the life of Medellins Comunas

Lara_H, Apr 2024

We had an amazing time on Matteo's tour! It was a very cool experience with real insights into life in Comuna 8. The views were extremely beautiful, and Matteo, the tour guide, was super nice. He led the tour with passion, showed us some cool spots, and had something interesting to say about everything. We even got to know a local family. If you are looking for the best tour guide and a real insight into the life of Medellins Comunas that’s the best tour to do! Highly recommend it!

Must-do in Medellin

This was a very special experience that i will never forget. Teo and his hosts were so generous and kind, and i learned so much about the community. Thank you, Teo!

Beautiful Experience in Comuna 8

Tiffany_S, Mar 2024

Very local and chill experience!

Christopher_V, Jan 2024

I had a really great experience with our tour guide Matteo. I did the comuna 8 tour and we were doing a new route for the first time and it was just filled with beautiful nature, local life, great views and really nice spots for chilling. It was unlike other tours I have done, more relaxed and more time to learn about and admire each place! Plus: we were accompanied by two locals who later invited us to their house for coffee and dinner!

Tour guide didn’t turn up

Bethany_K, Dec 2023

The event didn’t happen -the tour guide never arrived so we spent 40 minutes trying to get in touch with them and with viator and no one ever replied.

Should Make Time for This!

Amy_M, Feb 2020

This was a lovely tour a bit away from the crowded, but very worth comuna 13 tours. Our guide Daniella was fantastic! The place was beautiful and we ended at the Memory Museum, which was key to putting the city's transformation into perspective of the people who lived during the era of violence. A++++

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thanks a lot for this great review, Amy! We are so happy to see that you actually appreciate the essence of this experience, it was great meeting you. We hope to have you back soon!

Se siente la esencia de lo que han sido las comunas de Medellín

Ral_S, Apr 2022

Muy buena experiencia con los chicos de la comuna Allan y Juan que me hicieron el recorrido hasta llegar a lo mas alto, el cerro pan de azucar, donde se puede disfrutar de la mejor vista de Medellin. Durante el trayecto fuimos recorriendo las multiples calles y caminos que atraviesan la comuna, pudiendo apreciar la realidad del barrio y la esencia de como es la vida alli.
