Full description
Discover Medellín's Comuna 13 district on a guided tour with a local. Enjoy stunning views of the city from a cable car, learn about the local street artists, and hear how this formerly dangerous area has evolved. Meet your guide in the metro station to begin the tour and experience Medellín like a local. Learn all about the stations and key points in the city, as well as how the metro system helped shape the new Medellin. When arriving at the connecting station, hop on a cable car up the hill. As you go, admire the panoramic views of the city and find out about its evolving history and troubled past. At the top, take a short ride on the bus toward the Comuna 13 district. At Comuna 13, the real fun begins. An enthusiastic guide will explain all the positive changes made to transform what was once one of the most dangerous communities in South America into a symbol of the new Medellín. You will have time to take in all the amazing street art and ride the electric outdoor escalators to the top observation deck, which offers incredible views. Listen to insights about Medellín, hear interesting stories from the guides, meet locals and learn about the library that works as a community center before returning to Poblado metro station.

My partner and I were pleasantly surprised about the Comuna 13 history and depth of culture. Camilo was great at conveying important facts, showing interesting touristic and local points and making the tour one of the best experiences of Medellin so far. We highly recommend this to everyone who is interested to learn more about this beautiful city!

Hearing about the recent history of Colombia from a next generation local and the back story to Commune 13 was very interesting. The break dancers we watched were amazing. I would have liked to know more about the street art and have time to go into more shops or stop to look at some of the cool artwork, like tshirts, bags and caps. Getting there by public transport in a group was fun, but it would be a be bit challenging to go back and do it all again by yourself, so you want to make the most of your time there.

It was a lot of fun but lacked some depth. Very young guide who knew what he was talking about but was a bit perfunctory. His English was a bit more difficult to understand due to the combination of speed and accent. Furthermore, the visit to comuna 13 was impressive and beautiful!
