Comuna 13

On February 11, 2026 I had a guided tour with Pablo, I had a very good time, I received a lot of detailed information and all questions were answered. Thanks to Pablo, I learned a lot and understood the complicated historical and current situation well. Pablo was very friendly, helpful and very well informed.

Good experience with some bumpers

I have been surprised because I did the tour alone. The guide came late and left me alone on the bus, but after that bumpy start he did a great job and gave me a good experience of Communa 13. His English was ok but not great. I enjoyed the tour.

Best tour in Medellín with Melina

Melina was spectacular! PLEASE take this tour with her if you are in Medellín! She showed us everything about the history and the current news of the city! We felt totally SAFE with her which is another important aspect of Medellín. She took us extremely interesting places, to local events and performances, we tasted delicious food and could try and learn about the very best Colombian coffee. Loved every inch of this guided tour! Thank you so much Melina! It was a blessing! 🙏🏼
