Highlight of My Vacation - This was one of the best experiences I had out of a full month spent in Colombia, and easily my favorite tour while there. Visiting Comuna 13 is something you really must do while in Medellín, and I would highly recommend going with this tour specifically. It's a wonderful time. The art is beautiful, the viewpoints stunning. The guide, Nicolas, is exceptional; He is extremely knowledgeable about the local history, and you will learn a lot about everything Comuna 13 has been through and how it transformed into what it is now. He very clearly cares a great deal about the community and its people. He is also very personable and honestly just a lot of fun to spend time with. The tour feels much more like exploring a new place with a local friend, which enhances the overall ambiance and energy of Comuna 13, as opposed to being coldly herded around by an impersonal microphoned guide in a large group tour. He took the time to get to know me, allowing for the tour to be significantly personalized to my own interests, and giving me a lot of freedom to do what I wanted in order to get the most out of the tour. He did still make excellent recommendations for during the tour, as well as for my time in Medellín overall. Additionally, I had an accident a few years ago that still affects me quite a bit physically, especially my breathing, and he was unwaveringly patient with me. I was able to comfortably take my time, and was never made to feel rushed or as if I was going to have to miss out on anything due to my personal abilities. It can't be overstated how much I appreciate this. Though by my choice we did speak in Spanish most of the time, he does speak perfect English, so that shouldn't be a concern for anyone. I enjoyed the tour so much I would seriously plan on booking the exact same tour again upon a return trip to Medellín, as I am sure there is so much more to explore, and that it would somehow be equally good if not even better a second time. I would without any hesitation highly recommend this tour to anyone who is currently planning on visiting Medellín!

Very informative and treated like family - Andres and his crew are amazing, They took us everywhere and anywhere we wanted to go. Andres was like family while in Medellin. I’ve used him and his services twice so far and will continue to use them as long as I continue to travel to Colombia. Reasonably priced and very informative tours. I’ve made a friend and new family member for life.

Commune 13 - Walking the streets of commune 13 and seeing how they turned a zone of violence into an art zone is wonderful. The graffiti is great and the artistic displays of dance and trova are also.

Medellin 2022 - When I planned my trip to Medellin Colombia I was a little nervous but this was one of my favorite cities. I had an amazing experience. From the city tours, learning to dance bachata, to climbing to the top of El Penol to exploring the most quaint city Guatape. This should be in everyone's bucket list!. From the start I was impressed with my tour guide Andres. He responded quickly to my messages and thoroughly resolved any concerns or questions I had. He helped to put together a custom itinerary, matching exactly what I wanted to see and do. I am beyond thankful to him and would wholeheartedly recommend him to book your next visit to Medellin.

Comuna 13 & Guatape - Guide Andrés is taking really good care of you and we had an amazing time. He explained a lot and the Comuna 13 area is impressive to see! If you want an amazing afternoon at this community then Andrés is the man.
We also went to Guatape with him and we had a good time there. Saw the former village, old house of Pablo en la Piedra. Full day with a lot of fun!
