Colorful and Beautiful Communa 13! - It was a great Communa 13 tour, we started early and we were happy that we did, Laura is our guide today and she is very knowledgeable to the area, we definitely learned a lot of information from her. Laura is also kind to wait for us when my husband need to rest a bit, we really appreciate it. We also did the food tasting and the Gondola ride! Overall it was a great experienced! Highly recommend.

Commons 13 Tour Highly Recommended - My family of four took the Communa 13/Cable Car/Exotic Fruit tour, it was great! Our guide, Laura, was wonderful and made the tour the best. Laura was very informative, sweet, and great with the kids. Laura had great recommendations and spoke perfect english. We highly recommend the tour, it was very organized and included history of the area, neighborhoods, great views, and very cool artwork. Everyone loved the extra touch on the tour including fruit popsicles, slides, 3D art, and more! The fruit tasting was also a hit, many we never had even heard of before. Thanks Laura!

Like a Knowledgeable Local Friend - We had Daniel (Danny) as our guide for a private Comuna 13 tour. (We were two people). The setup and communication with MedellinDayTrips was quick and easy and Daniel arrived out our place exactly on time. The booking and pickup was seamless. Daniel's English is perfect and he was open to moving at our pace and offering options of things to do/experience in Comuna 13. Overall, it felt like we were walking around with a knowledgeable local friend rather than a robotic tour guide.

Incredible Graffiti, Cable Car & City Tour with Erika - We had an incredible Graffiti, Cable Car & City Tour with Erika. This was our second Medellin visit using Medellin Day Trips and having Erika as our guide. We arranged our travel days to make sure Erika was available for us. We were traveling with my 80+ year old mother and her best friend. We knew that Erika would be the perfect fit to make sure we all had an amazing tour. Erika was so kind and accommodating. She made sure we went at a slower pace and took plenty of breaks without missing out on any of the tour. Erika never disappoints. Whenever you take a tour with Erika it’s like you’re traveling with a friend. We have had tours in more than 40 countries. Erika is one of the very best guides we’ve encountered. We will always ask for Erika whenever we’re visiting Medellin.

Amazing guide and tour! - Erika was an amazing guide! She was so knowledgeable and shared the history of Communa 13 to really educate us. She made it interesting and age appropriate for our children as well, and introduced them to tastes of Colombia. We could not have asked for a better guide in Medellin!

Best tour and tour guide ever - Erika was such an amazing tour guide! She was very attentive and knowledgeable of the art and graffiti. She was super patient, let us take our time admiring the art or looking at local stores and she even took some amazing photos for all of us. 100/10 would take another tour with Erika! Any and all questions we had she always had an answer, she was great to joke around with and honestly it was a great tour!

Perfect family-friendly tour! - Book this tour! We went on the Comuna 13 graffiti tour with our family of 4 (kids age 6 & 8). Daniel was an amazing tour guide! He was attentive and flexible in adjusting the tour to help keep the kids engaged. He taught us so much about the history of Comuna 13 and life in Colombia. The pickup at our hotel helped ensure everything went smoothly from start to finish. Daniel helped us negotiate while souvenir shopping as well. This tour was the highlight of our time in Medellin!
