Walking tour of Communa 13 - This tour was the highlight of our entire trip! Christian was our tour guide and he was exceptional. He explained very clearly the history of Medellin, the various communas that currently exist, the social structure and talked about the transformation of communal 13. He was born and raised in Communa 13. His narration of entire story was very powerful as it included his personal experiences too. We walked through the regular touristy parts - took the escalators to the very top and Christian also took us through a path that is not widely taken by tourists. We an amazing group perform breakdance and another perform rap. Christian explained the meaning behind some graffiti art and got us to taste the local ice cream. Our experience was extra special because of Christian. Christian speaks excellent English as he is an English teacher by profession! I would highly recommend this tour and Christian as a tour leader.

Great tour with great guide - My boyfriend and I had an amazing tour! The guide (Sergio) was super kind and knew excellent English. He showed us not only the touristy places but also the actual neighborhood. We visited a few galeries and he had excellent recommendations for things around the town. He was passionate about the history and told us all about it. He was very friendly and answered many questions. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Excellent Tour - Everything!!! The tour/guide was excellent. I loved his passion and knowledge about the area. And the artwork was vivid and very good and safe aswell...

Excellent tour - beautiful experience, heartbreaking history and excellent art and graffiti ... would do it again and again

Fun and loud! - I was given the wrong address for the Departure so after some clarification I walked to the San Javier station to meet my guide. The walk through Communa 13 was fun like always. Seeing the people is always great and hearing the music and motorcycles were loud so I was not able to hear my guide very much but it was still fun to be there during nightfall. It's a different vibe in the evening and makes for a different experience. If you want to learn from your guide then you should go earlier in the day. If you want a different vibe on the community then go in the evening.
