Literally the best tour! - Best tour I've ever been on! Absolutely outstanding guides (Pablo and local resident Heroina). I learnt so much - all the things I wanted to understand before I arrived plus loads more that I found fascinating. Honestly, if you're interested in getting under the skin of Medellin at all you will be so pleased you took this tour.

The real Columbia - This tour is EXCELLENT! It gives a real view into Columba — The good, bad, and beautiful. The tour is hard to find so read the directions after booking and arrive early.

Excellent experience - Excellent, small group tour with Pablo and Heroina (a local community leader) about a community's history of change through the decades. We saw no other tourists, no staged performances, no instagrammable houses or graffiti - but learned a lot through stories and sights. This tour is not really about the civil conflict or drugs trade. Recommended!

A comprehensive story about how a barrio is transformed by it‘s people - Pablo did a wonderful job explaining us the moving history of Comuna 4/Moravia and how it’s people transformed it (without the help of governmental institutions) into the nice barrio that it is today. He also covered some of the social, political and governmental apects in Colombia that influence such transformations in one or the other way. Especially the personal stories of Eruina as social community leader within the barrio made the whole tour to something special.

Barrio Transformation Tour Comuna 4 - I had the incredible opportunity to join a guided tour in Comuna 4, Aranjuez, Medellín, led by Pablo and Eloina. This experience was nothing short of exceptional. Our guides were outstanding — engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate. Their deep understanding of the neighborhood’s history and transformation made the tour both informative and inspiring. Eloina, a local social leader who grew up in the community, provided a unique perspective that added depth to the experience. Her firsthand accounts of Aranjuez’s struggles and achievements gave us a better understanding of the neighborhood’s journey, including its education and health systems. This is a tour in a real neighborhood, not a staged experience. It offers an authentic glimpse into how the average Colombian lives while showcasing the remarkable urban transformation of places like Comuna 4. From colorful street art to community-driven projects, every moment of the tour was meaningful and eye-opening. Pablo and Eloina’s combined efforts made this tour unforgettable. If you’re visiting Medellín, this tour is an absolute must. It’s a journey into the soul of a neighborhood that has faced immense challenges and emerged stronger than ever. I left feeling inspired and full of admiration for the people of Aranjuez.

Great experience slightly off the beaten track - Toto was an amazing guide and it was good to learn about an area of medellin which is not as known to tourists. A community leader joins you on the tour and it was heartwarming to hear their passion for their barrio and the change they have effected in their lifetime.
