Wonderful tour guide! - We had Carlos as a tour guide and William was our driver. We could not have had a better experience. Carlos knew practically everyone in Comuna 13 and provided many beautiful experiences for our family. We had a wonderful time. We could never have navigated the Comuna 13 without him and highly recommend him if you can get him.

Great tour - Visiting Comuna 13 with Carlos was an amazing experience. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared the history and stories of the neighborhood in a way that was easy to connect with. His insights into the street art and the transformation of the community made the tour both meaningful and memorable. Carlos also made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout the visit. If you’re heading to Comuna 13, I’d definitely recommend him as your guide.

Hands Down Best Tour with the Best Tour Guide - The tour was truly an amazing experience. Our guide was Jaime and he was so knowledgeable. I learned so much in so little time. Jaime was truly one of a kind. Someone who keeps the tour lively and always has something to say. With how detailed and informative he was I feel like I could now host a tour of my own. He gave great insight of how the people of Columbia view Pablo Escobar, both the good and the bad, he presents you with all of the information and allows you to form your own opinion. He also knows the best spots to eat/party. The empanadas he showed us in Comuna 13 were some of the best I’ve ever had and for as cheap as can be. This trip would not have been as amazing if it wasn’t for our amazing tour guide.

Incredible Private Tour with Local - I had the pleasure of taking a Comuna 13 graffiti tour in Medellin, Colombia, and I must give a special shout-out to our driver, Carlos. From start to finish, Carlos was the perfect guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with fascinating insights about the area’s vibrant history and street art scene. His local expertise truly made the experience come alive.
But what set Carlos apart was his eye for photography. He knew all the best spots for capturing the most stunning views and vibrant murals, and his photography skills helped us take home some incredible memories.

We didn’t expect the area to be as large as it was ! Very lively area with entertainment and amazing artwork.
Great day !
