Comuna 13 is a must-see when in Medellín! - This experience was amazing! Seeing the Comuna with someone who knows the area and is so knowledgeable about the history and ins and outs of the barrio was incredible. Ari was our tour guide and she was fantastic, we truly couldn’t picture our experience being with anyone else! She was kind, attentive and made sure that we got the most of our experience. We already can’t wait to come back and we recommend this experience to anyone!

A magical experience in Commune 13 that stole my heart - Visiting Commune 13 was much more than just a tour... it was a transformative experience. From the first sights to the latest colors of urban art, everything has life, history and soul. The guide was simply wonderful: attentive, friendly and with an energy that makes you feel at home. He shared the history of the community with so much heart that every word remained engraved. In addition, he gave us some delicious ice cream and took us to know the local businesses, where you feel the strength and hope of the neighborhood. The moment of graffitiing the wall was unforgettable: leaving my stroke between so many colors was almost like leaving a little bit of me there. I left with a smile, with a light soul and with the memory of a person who, without proposing, made this trip tattooed on my memory. Thank you so much, Commune 13... and thank you for making everything shine a little brighter.✨

Diego is an awesome guide! - Diego was an awesome guide, he brought us around Comuna 13 and gave us lots of insight about its history. Along the way he also let us try graffiti and a Medellín specialty popsicle. It was super fun and educational. Each stop Diego also gave us sufficient time to explore and take photos. Highly recommended!

Genial - The tour was extremely pleasant and interesting from start to finish. Majo is an incredibly gentle and attentive person, which made the experience even more special. During the tour, he offered us several delicious snacks that we enjoyed a lot, and also shared with us the history of the place, as well as endearing anecdotes about his family, which brought a very personal and authentic touch to the visit. You rating the love and dedication he puts into what he does. I definitely recommend this tour 100%; it is a totally worthwhile experience

Great tour, highly recommend. - We did this tour with Diego and it was really great. We learned so much about Comuna 13. Diego was really informative and very polite. He even brought us to his aunt's restaurant where we had some typical Colombian snacks, another place for coffee, and of course the ice-cream. I would highly recommend this tour.

Resilience and Rhythm in Comuna 13 - A powerful and moving experience. Walking through the streets of Comuna 13, surrounded by vibrant murals and music, revealed a story of transformation, creativity, and community strength. The guide offered essential context that brought meaning to every stop—what could have been just sightseeing became something far more profound. An unforgettable glimpse into the spirit of Medellín.
