Only a few years ago, the Comuna 13 neighborhood was the most dangerous community in the city of Medellin but today it's the most colorful and vibrant communities in the city. After the government and private sector invested in social and youth programs the local residents and artists reclaimed the neighborhoods and contributed to the miraculous transformation which we see today, the streets filled with incredible street art, music, street performers, vendors selling tasty local snacks A great opportunity to explore the lively streets in Comuna 13 while meeting local residents and artists, a unique cultural and memorable experience.

Really glad we went here with a guide. There are so many hidden books and crannies that I wouldn't have been able to find, had Walter not been with us. He was funny, knowledgeable, and answered all our questions! He knew how to adjust the tour when it was business and gave us a break from the rain at a bar. He knew many locals and told us what to look out for and what to avoid. Thank you Walter! Very fun walk around Comuna 13! Taking the cable car was my favorite!

Commune 13 in Medellín is one of the most representative places for tourism, this place can be reached by Metro and later by bus, as well as by taxi or other transport option. Already on site, there is a wide variety of artistic graffiti and dance shows such as hiphop or freestyle. There you can also enter a kind of viewpoints paying $10,000 or consuming something on site, which have artistic works and be able to take fantastic photos.
There are also many places to buy crafts, souvenirs, drinks, hailstones and food.

Walter gave us fantastic insights into the history of the wider conflicts in the country’s past and how they played out in Comuna 13. Meetup was easy as it was at the Metro stop closest to where we were staying. Easily recommended.

We had certain problems at the beginning since our guide could not come due to an accident, the company quickly solved it by offering us other schedules or another guide, in the end Ángel, a resident of the commune, came and brilliantly explained to us his life, his history, the history of the commune, at all times he was super pleasant, understandable, I would repeat it again and I will surely recommend it

Great overview to cable car system and Comuna 13. Walter was a terrific guide. After the tour I would feel comfortable exploring Comuna 13 without a guide. Highly recommend!

Tour was awesome. Walter was an excellent guide and gave an honest historical background on the area and all the politics of the city back in the day and the modern era. We saw everything and also got to ride all the different modes of the transport networks in Medellin.

It was great to learn about the history of Medellín, the commune and how through art they have overcome hard times. The guide was super friendly, the complete tour of the metro and metro cable was very good!

Excellent tour - I think this is a "must do" in Medellin. Our guide was Walter and he was extremely good. If you want to understand the history of Medellin, conflict between drug cartels, paramilitaries, the government, and guerilla groups and how it has impacted normal Colombians, definitely go on this tour. I loved it because it was history from the perspective of a local community. And it's incredible to see how a local area has vitalized itself through strong community ties, art, and music.
