Best Comuna 13 Tour in Medellín – Street Art, Local Culture & History with Adrian - Our tour of Comuna 13 with Adrian was absolutely amazing. From the very start, Adrian’s friendly, funny, and flexible nature made everyone feel welcome. He took the time to learn each person’s name and made sure every group member got as many photos as they wanted. Adrian’s passion for Comuna 13 was clear in every story he told. While he spoke honestly about the area’s dark and violent past, his pride in the transformation and resilience of the community was inspiring. He brought the neighborhood’s history to life, and we walked away with a deep appreciation for the people and their culture. Throughout the day, Adrian took us to incredible spots: vibrant street dance performances, an improv rap show, and some of the best viewpoints in the area. He introduced us to delicious local treats like ice cream and buñuelos! And although the murals are free for anyone to see, Adrian’s explanations of their meaning gave them much deeper significance. He was also incredibly patient and accommodating. Whenever we stopped to shop at local vendors, he made sure no one got lost and everyone was taken care of. The interactive nature of the tour kept the energy high, and Adrian’s enthusiasm made every moment engaging and fun. This tour exceeded all of our expectations, and Adrian was everything we could hope for in a guide. We’ll absolutely book with him again the next time we’re in Colombia.

Excellent Guide - Luis C13 was excellent. He took care of an issue with Viator. We had a reservation but we weren’t on the list. Luis fixed it without an issue. Luis is very knowledgeable and provided excellent commentary for the historic walk through Comuna 13. He took time with everyone from the group. Stopped when needed. Gave plenty of time to enjoy the sights of the area. I would highly recommend the tour and Luis as your guide.
