Incredible Private Tour with Local - I had the pleasure of taking a Comuna 13 graffiti tour in Medellin, Colombia, and I must give a special shout-out to our driver, Carlos. From start to finish, Carlos was the perfect guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready with fascinating insights about the area’s vibrant history and street art scene. His local expertise truly made the experience come alive. But what set Carlos apart was his eye for photography. He knew all the best spots for capturing the most stunning views and vibrant murals, and his photography skills helped us take home some incredible memories.

He picked me up and drove me back to my hotel. - Carlos is extremely knowledgeable he knows every single corner of Medellin. He is trustworthy and goes out of his way to make sure you are having fun. You will be surprised to learn almost everyone knows and likes him whenever you go. He lived and went to school in Los Angeles California.

Comuna 13 at sunset - It was a fun and interesting tour with Carlos. He was really cool and the neighborhood loved him which made us feel comfortable. The best part was having a later your start, so we got to see the sunset at the top of the comuna. We wish we had seen a little more graffiti art in other parts like we thought, but overall it was an enjoyable tour.
