Yuly was our driver and she was amazing! I can't rave enough about her. She came before her time and said since she was early take our time. She was very patient and understanding with how we walked through the tour, she was very accommodating regarding that since I have some health issues and needed to stop periodically. She was the most patient and informative tour person. I'm so happy to have had her as my guide around Medellin. I would highly recommend this tour and especially her as my tour guide around Medellin.

So much to do!!! So much color!! So much art!!! The people were so nice and welcoming. Yuly, our tour guide made us feel like family. We never felt rushed and were encouraged to soak in the experience. Felt completely safe the entire time. Yuly was on time picking us up. Provided so much information on every step of the tour. We felt like we learned so much!! We really enjoyed the individual attention. We would definitely book with this tour again or any other tour offered by Yuly and company! Book it! You won’t regret it!

This is the best Comuna 13 tour to book. Our tour guide Julio César is a wealth of knowledge and the cable car was the perfect opportunity to get a detailed history before you immerse yourself in the rich culture of the neighborhoods vendors and artists.

We had the best day with Henry! He was flexible with the pace as we had two young children with us, and was so knowledgable and passionate about the area. It was a highlight of the trip, we learnt so much, and he even gave us some amazing food recommendations for our afternoon. Would highly recommend this trip if you’re looking for a tour guide who isn’t pushy, and enables you to explore the area at your own pace!
Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thanks for the wonderful feedback and recommendation—we’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!

Great tour with a knowledgeable guide who taught us about the history and present situation of Comuna 13. Loved the tour.
Myron_M, Oct 2023
This use to be one of the most dangerous and feared communities in the world. It is inspiring how the people and the city has come together to change this. Our tour guide Mario is very knowledgeable and gave us political and cultural insight of the area. This is a must see with a tour guide to provide you with a good understanding of how it once was, and how it has and is transforming.
Ayana_R, Sep 2023

AMAZING TOUR!✨
Our tour guide was Daniel and we had an amazing time with him at Comuna 13. He was very knowledgeable of the area and explained everything in detail. He was always willing to take pictures for us and showed us the most local stops in the comuna. We would definitely recommend this tour to everybody!

The trip came alive as we had the best tour guide. Henry was fun and took us to all the great spots.
Pselane_C, Jul 2023
I would give 10 stars if I could.
Daniel was the best. Very knowledgeable about the community. This is a must if you visit Medellin. Such a great appreciation for the culture and people of Comuna 13.
Risha_H, Jul 2023
Our tour was amazing from start to finish. Our guide, Oscar was prompt, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. He shared so much of Medellín's history and culture with additional perspectives as we rode and walked through the city. The cable car ride offered great views of the city and the cheese bread we tried was fantastic!! We learned a great deal and deepened our appreciation for Communa 13's talent, resourcefulness, and resilience. The murals, the vibe, and culture were awesome. I highly recommend this tour!
tfone9061, Jun 2023
This trip was amazing! If you are one of those guys looking for the experience of the cable car and comuna 13 you should get one with Daniel! His English is extremely good. Knowledgeable of the history behind comuna 13 and the infrastructure/history of how the cable cars and transportation system was created. And if you are really adventurous he will even take you to a part in comuna 13 where you can see locals who live their everyday lives and show you places that are just extraordinary! Of course these options are all of your choice. A very easy going person and flexible choice of things to do.
James_H, Jun 2023
My tour guide Oscar was top notch. He knows the history of Comuna 13 and of the city of Medellin very well. He also has a great connection to all the people there since he provides many tours which is a big plus because you are treated like family. He is able to get preferred parking locations to tour areas in addition to know where to go for the best empanadas along the tour route. I would highly recommend Oscar or one of his associates! Que Chimba !
