Lina was very knowledgeable and friendly! She allowed us to dictate the length of the tour to our liking. Definitely recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hi Diego! Thank you kindly for your review. It was a pleasure touring you and your wife around the Comuna 13 and aerial cable cars. Thanks for being delightful guests. We truly love our turistas, especially those who appreciate an authentic and didactic experience that we offer. As you saw, there are many illegal tour guides there, who lie to tourists, making up stories and inflating numbers, like the one guy who said 3,000 people died during Operation Orion, remember that? Very outrageous to say the least, this is why guests choose us. Again, you are appreciated and we hope to have you back in the near future to your 2nd home...Medellin! Best regards, Lina Mora from Medellintravels.com

A tour that gives hope!

I learnt a looooot with Jorge! He knew so much about history! He definitely masters his subject. He was also very friendly and interesting; I could feel how passionnate he was and how much he wanted me to enjoy my experience. I am really glad I got the chance to have him as my guide. P.S. I was scared to go to Comuna 13 at first, but when I got there, I realized there was no reason to be scared : the place was full of life and joyful. The resurgence of Comuna 13 is a real miracle!

A great way to see an historic section of Medellin
