The tour of Comuña 13 was AMAZING! We enjoyed the Cable car ride, the history and the colors of the area! Seeing the break dancing show was so enjoyable as was viewing the graffiti. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone we know that would visit the city. Santiago is an amazing tour guide and kept us both entertained and informed.

This was a great and informative tour! Brayan was very interactive and we spent the perfect amount of time at each location. The tour includes metro & cable car rides (which I wouldn’t have been able to figure out myself as a tourist who doesn’t speak any Spanish!) so I really enjoyed that. I loved seeing this side of Medellin and I highly recommend this tour & having Brayan as your guide!

Santiago was our tour guide and he was so friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the area. He explained the story of Communa 13 in detail and with great respect for the celebration of freedom that is has now become. He even took us to a market after the tour was over, to sample some Colombian food, as he remembered that we wanted to taste some bandeja paisa. Well worth it to get the metro with a guide from the city as it can be overwhelming to get the metro plus a bus up to the top of Communa 13. Definitely recommend.
