Tour description

If you have come to Medellín you cannot leave without visiting one of its most famous municipalities, La Comuna 13.
For many years it has been the epicenter of wars and confrontations between various groups outside the law, but today it is a sign that it is possible to live in hope, harmony and peace.
In this guruwalk we will tell you how La Comuna 13 went from being the most conflictive and dangerous place in Medellín, to becoming the most visited place in the city thanks to the change it has undergone.
Its streets, its people, its artists, its escalators and its graffiti path are the clear example that after living through the worst years of war and violence, you can be reborn.
We will explain the meaning of the most emblematic graffiti , you will have the opportunity to learn about local initiatives , you will enjoy a sample of music and urban art , you will visit the gallery of a local artist , you will enjoy the best views of the city, there will be food tastings, but Above all, you will have the opportunity to appreciate and understand La Comuna , its houses, its landscapes and share with its people. And since a picture is worth a thousand words... I invite you to watch the video of our tour and I dare to live a unique experience in one of the most impressive neighborhoods in Medellín with our free tour!

The tour was very interesting and explained the art and history of the area very well. Our tour guide Juan was spoke with great expertise and was very nice and friendly, even taking pictures for us and recommending us to a great local coffee spot. The guide’s English is very good and easily understandable

La verdad es que me ha sorprendido muy gratamente el tour por la comuna 13. He aprendido mucho hoy, y me se me ha pasado volando. Cindy, nuestra guía, es residente de la comuna y gran conocedora de la historia de la misma; te contagia esa pasión y orgullo de pertenencia con la que cuenta cada una de las anécdotas. He hecho varios walking tours en otras ciudades alrededor del mundo, y Cindy me ha dejado una súper buena impresión de un excelente guía. Felicidades Cindy!.

We had some issues that caused us to be late and notified the guide. They said they would send a live location and that we could meet up. When we were almost there I received an email that they cancelled the tour. I reached out but they was unapologetic about cancelling.
