Centro and Comuna 13 - Artur was a very knowledgeable guide who was able to get into a lot of interesting details about Medellin culture and history. The Metrocable ride provided a panoramic view of the city. We ran a little short on time but Artur extended the time so we could get to see more of Comuna 13. All in all a great immersive experience.

Excellent tour of Medellin. - Laura gave a great tour. Wow! She is very knowledgable. You can tell she loves her city of Medellin. She took us everywhere and told story after story about Medellin. It was a long day, but we got to see downtown, the cable car ride, Coumna 13 and other places. She gave us a good foundation to explore after places after the tour on our own. DO NOT hesitate to take this tour and try to get Laura. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing Medellin tour - We had a great time with our tour guide Arthur! He was super informative, friendly and provided a great personal insight into Medellin specifically, but generally Colombia. I highly recommend this tour and him specifically. Communa 13 was our favorite part!

Private walking tour of central Medellin and Comuna 13. - We booked this walking tour based on the amazing reviews on TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. Our guide, Arturo, was extremely knowledgeable, giving us insights on the city’s rich history as we toured the central area of Medellin and explored the wonder that is Comuna 13. He made it feel like he was an old friend showing us around his home town. Everything was beyond our expectations and we would recommend this tour to anyone who has no trouble walking around 4-5 miles.

A pleasant private tour around Medellin - Artur was an excellent guide. We started with a tour of Centro, enjoyed a coffee tasting, then rode the metro, cable car, and bus to experience the Medellin public transport system and see locals going about their daily business. We ended the tour with a graffiti tour in Communa 13. Artur answered our numerous questions and took great photos of us during the tour.

A best choice to see Medellin closely - One of the best city tours to have while in Colombia.
The guide takes you exactly to see the real heart of the city, explain the local culture, changes of history in the town and the best local food to choose.
The cable car ride was so amazing and the views from top were so beautiful.
Graffiti side was so interesting to see and learn the history of it, enjoying the meaning of most Graffities and enjoy the active life in this part of the city.
Highly recommended in Medellin
