Awe-inspiring authentic experience - A must-do in Medellìn! Muchas gracias to Estéban; his extensive, personal knowledge of the history of Comuna 13 and its people was astounding and greatly appreciated. If you’re looking through different tour options, definitely choose this one! Estéban offered us delicious snacks of Colombian popsicles, empanadas and sausages, and we were even able to leave our own tag on history with graffiti! Leave the heels at home, bring water (though you can purchase anything you like during your tour from local vendors), and wear sunscreen. 10/10 tour; would attend again! Muchas gracias, Estéban!
