Tour description

I am a resident of Comuna 13 of Medellín, improviser of RAP and tourist guide, I will show you how a commune despite its violence, social abandonment, discrimination and internal war could through art and the HIP-HOP movement become a tourist attraction, where you will enjoy the culture and a pleasant atmosphere full of color and innovation. You will also get to know: * The world's largest escalators installed in a commune. * 5 art galleries. * 2 coffee shops. * A slide in honor of a child victim of the conflict. * A typical ice cream from the commune included in the tour. * Library park * 4 viewpoints And indeed.... the story told by a resident and resilient of the commune. I won't tell you anymore, come and live it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAWhYWVfVhQ

Hicimos un tour privado por el centro de Medellín, agarramos el metro cable y conocimos toda la historia y la transformación de la comuna 13. Un tour muy recomendable!

Although I book a tour in English, it turned out to be a tour in Spanish, as it appeared that Afrodisíaco - due to his limited English skills - does not run tours in English. I was passed to his friend from Venezuela, who was supposed to be fluent in English - but it again turned out not to be true. I appreciate the effort of the Venezuelan guy and a fact that he is a nice person (that's why I gave 2* instead of 1*) but besides language barriers his knowledge about the place was very limited - he basically read a history of the place from his phone (again with language struggle). I cannot rate a Spanish version of the tour delivered by Afrodisíaco, but offering the tour in English by Afrodisíaco is a SCAM. Even if it is a gratitude based service people invest their time, so that's why I consider it to be totally irrespectful and misleading.
