Super cool and informative - I had done a comuna 13 tour before and this is the best by far! Diana was amazing. She shared a lot of history and perspective as a comuna 13 local. We even took some less touristy paths, which gave us some great insights.

Five star experience - Erica is a wonderful guide. She is knowledgeable about the political and social history of Medellin and weaves in her personal story to create a compelling tour. During our visit she pointed out the symbols in the graffiti murals and the amazing breakdancing. A cable car ride over the comuna gave a sense of the area's geography. Our tour ended with a feast of exotic fruits. Definitely a five star experience.

Erika is an amazing tour guide! - We booked this tour with Medellín Day Trips before leaving the US and were AMAZED from the moment she introduced herself by Erika, one of the best tour guides we have ever encountered. She tailored the tour around our interests and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. I had been anticipating this tour for several months, and I promise - Erika did not disappoint. Her knowledge of Medellin’s history and culture are top notch, as are her people skills. When we finished this tour, we booked two more tours with Erika before someone else was able to reserve her time. Do yourself a favor and book with Medellin Day Tours - Erika the guide and Andres the manager are A++++++.

Couldn’t choose a better tour in Medellin - We had an awesome private tour of Commune 13 & cable car in Medellin. We have nothing but positive comments about the tour from the communication to the professional organisation before, during & after the tour and especially our tour guide Erika who was exceptional. Erika made the tour by her knowledge & sense of humour and generously shared her personal insight into the community of Commune 13 with whom she demonstrated great rapport. The tour was flexible & responsive to our needs & we would highly recommend to anyone travelling in Medellin.

Erika was an amazing tour guide! - The cable car/ Comuna 13 tour was amazing, leading the history seeing the culture! Our tour lady Erika was phenomenal. She provided us with the history of Medellín, showed us pictures and explained every point stop until we reach the top. We were a group of 5 so to have someone like Erika who not only came prepared for the rain and provided water. She also took that time to learn each and every one of our personalities! We loved having her apart of our group so much we booked our last tour (Atv/ Pablo Escobar tour) just because it was her. Wish we could have done more… thank you Erika for making our trip not only memorable but unforgettable 🫶🏽 Skeeter🤣(insider)

Great small tour, strong recommend - Laura was great. She picked us up from our hotel and navigated the city traffic expertly. The market tasting was great, we’d done one in Bogota too but didn’t feel there was too much of an overlap, it was amazing seeing all the massive avocados! Her knowledge and experience of Cummins 13 was excellent, we’d done were so glad were were in a small group, as it does feel a bit touristy but with her we felt low key and more able to observe than be observed. She had great knowledge of the art and history of the area and we had a ferry style rap form for us which was really fun. Going on the cable car was great, such an interesting innovation for the city. Laura was receptive and patient and I can 100% recommend
