Comuna 13 & Metro cable ride - The tour guide was flexible. I scheduled for a fruit market but we changed to Comuna 13 and a Metro cable ride.
The guide, Daniel, was profesional and answer all of my complicated questions. I highly recommend Daniel.
The views were amazing and I felt like I gained helpful information about the past and the present.

Fantastic Graffiti Tour! - The graffiti tour was our favorite cultural experience in Medellin. Our tour guide, Juan, was very informative, professional, and showed us the best time. Comuna 13 was absolutely the highlight. Everyone was proud of the neighborhood and very welcoming. The story behind the art told a great story and highlighted the best that Medellin has to offer. I highly recommend this tour!

Recommended - This private tour booked and is highly recommended. 1 on 1 with guide is much more relaxed than with large group.
Our guide Juan was really super, flexible, informative. Told a lot about how he lived the bad years in his youth. Juan os a true ambassador of his city. Juan thank you was a super afternoon.

Incredible day trip - Carmilo our guide was the reason this was such a great trip. He know everything and everyone. We had a true local as our guide which was key.
The view from the graffiti tour was amazing as well as the food!
We also got on the metro, metro cable cars, Botero sculpture park, and other stops as well

Commune 13 - Visiting commune 13 left me with a bitter taste and at the same time sweet in the mouth how it mixes a sad past with the total opposite of today.
It is very good to visit but you do not need to pay so high for the tour. Since you can travel alone

Hope, Transformation and Peace - The tour got off to a rocky start for me, as the app gave an error message for the same day tour purchase. A quick call to Viator customer service resolved the issue because the tour guide had actually waited an hour at my hotel just for me. My confusion notwithstanding, Viator’s Johann was knowledgeable, well spoken and connected to the community. His waiting went above and beyond in providing excellent customer service.
The tour was in depth, experiential, fun and beautiful. A word of advice, take some sunscreen. We stopped and got to know local business owners, posed for pictures and purchased locally. This was a moving experience to see government taking action based upon community leadership and input. Highly recommend Johann, his heart for the community allowed for a more in-depth look at this highly innovative and impactful public work.

City sights and culture - Poor Julio, to be given a gaggle of high energy, boisterous women to drive through the perplexing Medellin traffic and introduce the joys of Botero, exotic fruits and kilometer high rocky hikes would be a challenge for any single guide. Julio managed to accomplish it all with humor, grace and an eye for personal detail to all present. With his excellent language and historical knowledge, he presented us with the storied beauty of Medellin old and new, providing us with an appreciation of the city and its fine heritage. A huge thanks to Julio and an endorsement to all who seek a guide to the wonders of Medellin!
