If there is something to infer from this particular story or that of the comuna in general, it’s that the power of community is inestimable. After all, it’s through community that the district, once known as the world’s deadliest place, has transformed into the economic, cultural and touristic nexus that we all recognize today. - MethodMedellin


We went into the Comuna, rode the escalera electrica, rode the Metrocable, saw tons of street art, visited the library to see the changes brought about by the Metrocable and how the library was more than a place for books but an entire community center. - TripAdvisor Review


First of all I must say that I don't know how many people are on the public tour, but I wanted it to be intimate for the 9 of us, so I paid more to do a private tour. Carlos - what an absolute excellent guide! He told us everything and more, and did it with so much enthusiasm it was just great! - TripAdvisor Review


This was one of my favourite bits of my trip to Colombia. It was first day in Medellin and the guide was extremely enthusiastic about the positive change in the city. He gave detailed accounts of his own experiences as well as those of others raging from positive to the very negative. - TripAdvisor Review


If you have the time I would recommend the Comuma 13 walking tour while visit Medellin. Comuna 13 was one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Medellin but because of the metrocable and escalators it is now safe and has made the lives of the residents better. - TripAdvisor Review


This was a very worthwhile tour. The guide Carlos made it so interesting and within 5 minutes had learnt all our names - a group of 9. His English is good and he knows almost all the locals where he is welcomed as we were too. - TripAdvisor Review


Our guide, Andres, was very generous with his time and insights about Medellin in general and Comuna 13 in particular - with a particular focus on the street art in the area, which tells many interesting stories. We feel like we had a window into a part of the city otherwise off limits to tourists. - TripAdvisor Review

Back in the days one of the most feared and violent barrios in South-America and in particular Colombia. Now the symbol of the new Medellin! This tour is a Must Do! It's very impressive to walk up the steep hills and see how the people live in this crowed comuna. The guide (Andres) is able to tell you lots of interesting facts about the development of this barrio, - TripAdvisor Review

The best walking tour we've done in Colombia. Juan was an amazing guide, really interesting stories and explained Medellín really well.

Thank you Hernan! You were the best guide of any walking tour I've done in all of South America. And I did a lot of them! Highly recommended experience. Vast knowledge and awesome storytelling.

I don’t have the words to describe how much we loved this tour. Dio was so passionate in teaching us about Medellín. I appreciated his honesty and transparency about the history and current climate of the city & country. There were moments where I got emotional seeing the love and pain he had for his city. We spent 10 days in Colombia and this tour tied for first as our most favorite activity we did, truly thanks to Dio! 10/10 highly recommend this tour, don’t even waste your time anywhere else!

Pablo was a very energetic and engaging tour guide. We did the downtown tour which was a good way to learn about the area and understand what the monuments mean. He’s very passionate and was lovely chatting with him during the break.

Great experience on the walking tour. Our guide Pablo was very knowledgable and passionate. He was very clear, learnt all our names from the start and made it a fun experience. We also appreciated learning about the city from someone who grew up there. We have attended many walking tours throughout Latin America and this was the best.

Passeio bem legal. Dá pra ver muita coisa e aprender bastante sobre a história de Medellin.

Great walking tour. Carolina was a phenomenal guide. She not only showed us the city but also taught us about history and culture. Would recommend to anyone visiting Medellin.

Medellin’s vibrant downtown is a definite must-see. History, culture and commerce converge to create a special backdrop for our stories throughout the tour.

Want to eat like a local? You’ve probably heard of “empanadas” but have you tried “chicharrón” and did you know that “bocadillo” in Colombia is not a sandwich?

For a closer look at the city’s transformation and daily life of its inhabitants, visit one of its barrios (neighborhoods) and learn about the associated challenges.

You don’t have to be a chef or major foodie to enjoy a visit to the market! And what better way to enjoy a country’s biodiversity than to taste your way through it?
