So much fun! - Claudio was an amazing tour guide! He knew the ins and outs of La Comuna 13. We had the amazing opportunity of it just being us too, and the tour guide, and he was very accommodating and very informative. We had an amazing time.

An authentic experience in the Commune 13 - We were delighted with our guide. It was very helpful, attentive and, above all, a local guide from Commune 13, which makes the experience even more authentic. His knowledge of history, culture and community is impressive, as well as he knows the place and its people very well. He recommended excellent lunch options and was always watching that everything was perfect. Definitely, super recommended to do the tour with it.

tour with walter! was amazing! - we had our tour with walter! would recommend 100% 1. he took care of all transport and picked us up from el poblado, whereas most other tours start closer to comuna 13. since it was our first day, we definitely would’ve struggled getting to the meeting point otherwise 2. it felt like a much more local, authentic experience 3. he knew sooo much about medellín’s history and shared a lot of first hand experiences 4. he was really easy to get along with, and because it was only the three of us it never felt awkward 5. he didn’t try to force us to buy things along the way like a lot of walking tours do 6. his laugh was infectious!

Excellent experience - We had an amazing time on the Comuna 13 and cable cars tour. Walter was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and engaging from start to finish. He explained the history and culture in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely interesting. The cable cars offered great views, and the tour felt both safe and authentic. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Walter as your guide

Best Medellín tour ever - Walter was absolutely amazing! Me and my husband booked this tour last minute and it was the best thing we could’ve ever done. Walter’s knowledge of the city was so amazing and impressive. Walter took us to the best views and knew all the short cuts to get to get to the top in the fastest time. 100/100 would recommend Walter and his tour to any and everyone looking to see the real parts of Medellín. Thank you Walter for giving us such a wonderful day and history lesson of such a wonderful and beautiful city.

Don't miss Comuna 13! - This was my last booking in Medellin, and I am so glad I decided to do so. It was nice to meet up at a central location and then get some help making our way about the Metro (a wonderful Metro, but I digress), including a fun cable car experience. Comuna 13 is rather unlike anything I have seen before, and it was so nice to have our guide take us about and give some of the background, history, etc. I recommend!!

Half day tour to Comuna 13 - This was a guided tour of Comuna 13 and a cable car ride. We learnt some history about the area and our guide Annie’s English was excellent. The area was very busy with lots of people trying to sell you stuff.
