Fun and real! Great extra with metro cable. - What a fun tour! Our tour guide, Walter, was great! It seems like he knew everyone in the Comuna 13. It also took you for a ride on the metro cable; that is a great extra. I wish that was the first tour I took from the city, as he took you through the Medellín public transportation system. It was a great way to learn, and I could have used it the remaining time I was here. He tells the story of Comuna 13 in a very dramatic way, allowing you to ask questions and share his personal experiences. Although he is not local, he has been doing this tour since almost the beginning of this experience, when only backpackers were coming to the Comuna 13. Totally worth it!

100 % - It’s was great. I’m an outdoors type, so I enjoy the real side of traveling. I don’t always need a tourist area and tourist experience, I love the real side of life when I visit. So it was nice taking the train, taking a bus, just as the natives do. The cable car was a highlight as well. Best part for me was our guide as he was a local historian. He explained a lot and I got a true lesson on Medellín culture and history. When we got to Comuna 13, it was just as vibrant as the pictures, a lot of shopping. Matter of fact, do all your shopping there. Best deals, for clothings, hats, jewelry, & trinkets. Also a huge plus, our tour guide did not rush us, and he was totally on our time. When we expressed we were ready to leave is when the tour ended. @Joes_curious_life
