  Comuna 13 was awesome. We saw so much talent throughout the graffiti tour!! 💙💛 there are places to eat, shop, and take pictures. During the tour you see local rappers and singers. You hear different kinds of music playing from bars and restaurants. Comuna 13 is lively and colorful which I enjoyed so much. Our tour guide Luis Reyes taught me about Comuna 13’s history which was fascinating. He was kind and personable. I recommend him to guide you during this tour!

  This tour is really cool. You get to see the other side of the city. Not only do you get a bit of history but you get to see the massive difference 20 years has had on one of the most dangerous and poor neighborhoods in the city. The area has such and joyful and welcoming vibe. Our guide Luis Reyes gave us detailed explanations of everything we saw along the tour. He took us to a few local spots for some the most delicious foods we’ve had on our vacation yet. My favorite was the sugar cane juice called Guarapo.

  We went to Comuna 13. Our tour guide was Luis Reyes. He was excellent! Very knowledgeable about Comuna 13 and Medellin as a whole. He was punctual, courteous and kind. He answered all of our questions, was very patient and took pictures for us. He also knew some of the people in the community and I thought that was very cool because we meet some of the local community members. It's super busy because there were a lot of other tours on the weekends but the history and actually being able to walk around the community and see all the local vendors, hear the smell the food was a great experience. I will take the tour again but the next time I will go during the week. That way I can take my time and relax a little more along the way. If you want to take this tour, and you should, be sure to ask for Luis Reyes. He will exceed your expectations.

  This tour was a special way to explore Medellin and get deep insights into the street art culture & development of Comuna 13. Our guide Luis Reyes was very knowable and made the tour fun! A very insightful tour that I highly recommend!

  This tour was excellent! My tour guide, Luis, was extremely knowledgeable regarding the area and he did a great job with all of my questions. It was fascinating learning about the history and understanding how it’s depicted in murals throughout the commune. Highly recommend!

  We had the best time. Luis was amazing. He gave us an interesting insight into the history of this beautiful city. He showed us local sights , took us on the cable car and went out of his way to make sure that we had a great time. We were so happy. Thank you Luis.

  This was a great tour. Luis went out of his way to include special details. This area was a fascinating counterpoint to the dark day’s history. The area is vibrant and full of energy. This wasn’t on our original itinerary but we added it because we enjoyed our previous tour with Luis so much. I am sooo glad we did.

  We had the best tour with Luis Reyes! It was really great to see Comune 13 with someone who actually lived there - he seemed to have a friend on every corner! Luis took us to the best place for the most delicious empanadas I’ve ever had, and tasty mango biche! Que rico! It was wonderful to see the whole neighborhood from above in the cable car, and to see the city glittering at night from the top of the mountain after going up all of the escalators. Although you could probably see Comune 13 by yourself, there is nothing like having a local show you all the best spots for food and pictures. Thank you Luis!!

  Luis was such an excellent caring guide! I was solo on this trip and he made me so comfortable, we had a great time chatting about Colombia and Medellin’s history and I learned so much from him. We visited several iconic locations and Luis took great pics of me along the way and was super enthusiastic throughout. This private tour is worth it 100%!

  David was a great tour guide, gave us lots of info and was great fun to be around. The history and sights were so interesting but definitely needs a guide to explain the background.
