How great!! Enrique's... - How great!! Enrique gave us an amazing experience, and he also knows many of the people of Comuna 13. The experience seemed very personal to us, and also he gave us a good story about Commune 13. We wanted to speak Spanish to practice, and he had a lot of patience with us. 10/10, including rap at the end of the tour!!

Commune 13: from fear of art - This tour of Commune 13 of Medellin is a very enriching experience. It allows us to understand how, through art and talent, a community living in the midst of violence managed to transform itself. Today, its alleys full of history and color reflect resilience and hope. Guides are people who have lived there and tell, from their own experience, how they have witnessed the change. They know the history deeply and share life stories that make the tour even more meaningful. In addition, the tour includes ice cream, coffee and typical food, making it a complete and close experience.

Comuna 13 is a must-see when in Medellín! - This experience was amazing! Seeing the Comuna with someone who knows the area and is so knowledgeable about the history and ins and outs of the barrio was incredible. Ari was our tour guide and she was fantastic, we truly couldn’t picture our experience being with anyone else! She was kind, attentive and made sure that we got the most of our experience. We already can’t wait to come back and we recommend this experience to anyone!

A magical experience in Commune 13 that stole my heart - Visiting Commune 13 was much more than just a tour... it was a transformative experience. From the first sights to the latest colors of urban art, everything has life, history and soul. The guide was simply wonderful: attentive, friendly and with an energy that makes you feel at home. He shared the history of the community with so much heart that every word remained engraved. In addition, he gave us some delicious ice cream and took us to know the local businesses, where you feel the strength and hope of the neighborhood. The moment of graffitiing the wall was unforgettable: leaving my stroke between so many colors was almost like leaving a little bit of me there. I left with a smile, with a light soul and with the memory of a person who, without proposing, made this trip tattooed on my memory. Thank you so much, Commune 13... and thank you for making everything shine a little brighter.✨

Diego is an awesome guide! - Diego was an awesome guide, he brought us around Comuna 13 and gave us lots of insight about its history. Along the way he also let us try graffiti and a Medellín specialty popsicle. It was super fun and educational. Each stop Diego also gave us sufficient time to explore and take photos. Highly recommended!

Genial - The tour was extremely pleasant and interesting from start to finish. Majo is an incredibly gentle and attentive person, which made the experience even more special. During the tour, he offered us several delicious snacks that we enjoyed a lot, and also shared with us the history of the place, as well as endearing anecdotes about his family, which brought a very personal and authentic touch to the visit. You rating the love and dedication he puts into what he does. I definitely recommend this tour 100%; it is a totally worthwhile experience

Great tour, highly recommend. - We did this tour with Diego and it was really great. We learned so much about Comuna 13. Diego was really informative and very polite. He even brought us to his aunt's restaurant where we had some typical Colombian snacks, another place for coffee, and of course the ice-cream. I would highly recommend this tour.
