Awesome informative tour by Felipe who was amazing. He not only gave us an fantastic English tour and kept our kids entertained (difficult with 6 and 3 year olds on an uphill walking tour) but he also seamlessly transitioned to Spanish to provide a consistent experience for our Colombian nanny. Awesome tour. Amazing tour guide. A+

Great history and...

Sarah_C, Apr 2026

Great history and knowledge of the area. Guide clearly engaged in the community. Note that most of the graffiti is now hidden behind tourist attractions

Excellent.

Claude_D, Apr 2026

Lots of walking but our guide Walter was amazing and connected to most persons in Comuna 13. Apart from the famous spots, we were also given an authentic experience on descent.

Thanks Annie for a great tour

Lilian_H, Apr 2026

Annie was absolutely amazing! We had the best experience in Comuna 13 and cable car ride thanks to her. She was so knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole tour feel fun and personal. You can tell she truly cares about the history and community definitely a must do in Medellín!

Communa 13!

Mei_B, Apr 2026

Christian was great! The tour provided history on communa 13, shared which district we were in, showed us cool spots and allowed for great photos. Recommend Christian!

A definite must in Medellín

Kathi_D, Mar 2026

This was a great tour. It was fun taking the metro, bus, cable car and stairs. We had a great guide and our teenagers thought it was super fun and interesting.

Vibrant experience with amazing guide Annie!

Traci_J, Mar 2026

We really enjoyed this tour! The meeting location and pictures received before made it super easy. Our group size of 8 was perfect (6 in our family and 2 other adults). We not only enjoyed the graffiti tour itself but the transportation to get there — metro, cable car, bus. Our kids were thrilled! And then the tour — we loved learning the history, walking the streets, getting a feel for the city. Be sure you can handle walking up several steps and hills! Wear good walking shoes and travel light! We ate local food and snacks, stopped for breaks. And then there was Annie. She’s amazing! So patient and kind and so knowledgeable. My personal favorite was how she really looked out for our kids especially when things got crowded. And then she made sure we all got into our Ubers safely at the end. She’s a gem and if you get her you will not be disappointed!! Thank you!!

Amazing Tour

Amazing experience. Annie explained the history of the place very well, and made sure everyone was accommodated.

This tour is not for...

Lawrence_b, Mar 2026

This tour is not for children and older adults as there is a lot of walking a lot of climbing up stairs and a lot of Metro transfers and bus stops the tour guide was very polite but I wish we had a tour guide who was more bold in the leadership meaning that they would give clear directions on what we are doing and they would talk louder so that everyone could hear our tour of God was very soft spoken and did not give clear directions. When we were getting on the cable car, we almost got off on the wrong stop because she did not directions on where to get off. She was very nice, but could use some coaching on effectively guiding a tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Lawrence, we have been hosting families with children and babies and senior citizens for the past 13 years with no problems whatsoever. The Comuna 13 Tour is the most popular walking tour in the city. It's fun for the entire family. I'm sorry to hear that you're family had difficulty walking on the tour. It's was extremely hot that day on the tour. Hopefully you enjoy the rest of your time in Colombia.

Our guide Christian was...

marge_b, Mar 2026

Our guide Christian was very knowledgeable about the area and its history, as well as the transformation it has undergone. The tour began with a cable car ride which was exciting and history of the area which was very informative. We then went to area 13. I told Christian it was like the Khan il Khalili in Cairo except with better music. Throughout the tour Christian made sure we were safe and he was also considerate of the intensity of the walking part of the tour - especially for the two of us in our 70's.

Tom_H, Mar 2026

We're glad we added the cable car/gondola ride to the comuna 13 tour. Spectacular views. One member of our group uses a wheelchair and our guide (Walter) acted like "no problem".

Highly recommend!

sabrina_b, Mar 2026

Christen was very nice very knowledgeable and personable! Took us through short cuts, had breaks and let us choose what to do!

Alice_B, Mar 2026

Excellent and informative walking tour, requiring a certain level of fitness. There are many steps and steep hills to navigate.

Annie was very nice...

Petr_K, Mar 2026

Annie was very nice guide. Definitely 5 stars for whole way with cable car! Thank you very much. It was very good tour

Amazing family experience. Felipe rocks!

Matthew_G, Mar 2026

Great tour and very organized

Michael_W, Mar 2026

It is a great tour. The guide takes you to the top via the bus and then you walk down and see everything. Most people on their own start at the bottom and walk up the hill which is steep. So the guide knows exactly where to go and where to take great free photos as some places charge.

Great day!

Rebecca_W, Mar 2026

Our tour guide was very funny and knowledgeable!! Thank you - I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Hannah_J, Feb 2026

Christian was great! We had a wonderful time. I appreciated that he started from the top of the communa 13 and worked our way down instead of having to hike up the hills.
