The best tour of Medellin - Awesome! We've never seen anything like this. Our guide Carlos explained the whole story and it felt like being in a movie eating divine snacks in Commune 13! 100% recommended, you cannot go through Medellin without doing this tour. Don't stop going even if it rains

Amazing - This was one of my favorite tours-ever. I am so grateful for Carlos and the passion he brings into this tour. I liked that English was separate to not take away from anyone (instead of speaking twice and translating). It was an amazing experience much thanks to carlos 10/10 I learned so much- and from the source. I am humbled and inspired by the resilience of communa 13 and all of medellin
