Can’t recommend Kevin enough !!!! - The tour was amazing, Kevin was the best tour guide ever and we learnt so much about the history of the area!! The snacks were delicious and Kevin was able to show us shortcuts to avoid busy areas which we would have not known if we had gone alone. He even waited for us to get a cab which was very sweet!

Great visit to Comune 13 - Kevin was a great tour guide and showed us around his home. We learned a lot about the history of the community and the success story that the neighborhood has become. Ate some local foods, learned the history of the graffiti and the importance of it to the community, and watched some hip hop shows. Would highly recommend.

The best guided tour in Commune 13 - The guide in Comuna 13 was one of the highlights of our trip to Colombia. We visited the commune with a guy who grew up there and really knows the reality of the place. The guide was comprehensive and gave us both a personal and general view of the commune. We were a small group and this made the experience even more special and intimate. Highly recommended :)

A Must-Do in Medellin - I rate this tour a MUST-DO for anyone who comes to Medellin. Communa 13 is a neighborhood that simply has to be experienced to be believed, and doing so with a knowledgeable native is by far the best way to do it. The current character of this district and its history are fascinating. It was by far the most interesting thing we saw and did in Medellin. If you can take the tour with Julio, a charming native who actually grew up in Communa 13, do it. He was a wonderful guide and looked out for every member of our tour.

No tour needed - I would suggest watching a Youtube or reading a couple pages online and then walking the site without a tour. Not a ton of value add with this tour. Nice guides, but.....
