Exciting and Educational Comuna 13 Tour with Maria Jose! - I had an incredible experience on the Comuna 13 tour with Medellin Memories Tours! Our guide, Maria Jose, was excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and full of enthusiasm. She made the trip both exciting and educational. The spray-painting part of the tour was a blast, and the dancing show was a highlight. Plus, the included ice cream was a delightful treat. Highly recommend this tour!

amazing tour - This was an amazing tour and the best thing we did on our trip to 🇨🇴. Our guide was amazing and gave us a great history lesson of the communa. Please remember this is NOT a Pablo Escobar tour, this is the history in the communa only. On the tour we saw a rap and dancing performance which was great, and we had some amazing food on the way down (not covered for in tour price). Hint. Get the candy coconut at the halfway point where you see all the bikes parked.

Yummy! - The street churros and maracu mango were amazing! The tour guide Diego was very knowledgeable about the history of Comuna 13. The tour was worth every penny and we even left w/gifts. My only concern was and is for the elderly who wish to come. Steps do vary in size and the tour involves steep inclines and declines presenting high fall risk and over exertion issues.
