Comuna 13 & Tejo - Laura was a wonderful tour guide. She made all the difference with her knowledge and history telling skills while my wife and I toured comuna 13 as well as her overall kindness and professionalism. Also, a great tejo player! So much fun. Highly recommend.

Tejo Fans! Great family tour - This tour was a lot of fun for our whole family (3 kids ranging in age from 3 to 9). Erika, our guide, was so kind, informative and helpful. She tailored the tour every step of the way to what worked for our family and was always mindful of how the kids were doing. It made a huge difference; she was patient, flexible and fun - the kids enjoyed being with her. The artwork and community in Comuna 13 was fascinating to see & appreciate - the kids also enjoyed the slides & escalators. It did get pretty crowded as we were leaving, so we were glad that Erika took us early in the morning. Playing tejo will be a definite highlight of our trip - we all loved it; especially the kids (we modified the rules for them a bit). They had so much fun and we had lots of laughs - we recommend it!!

Book This Tour - Love the tour of Comuna 13 and our private guide Erika was fabulous! Learned so much history and was able to really be immersed in the community by meeting local artists, witnessing street performers, and taking in the sights was truly amazing. One of the best tours I’ve taken.

Great way to discover Medellin - Great tour, really enjoyed it and learned a lot about Medellin and Colombia in the process. We were with kids (8&4) and they really enjoyed it too. Was also easy to arrange with next day pick up at our hotel. Would recommend.

Comuna 13 Graffiti tour, San Javier and its blossoming seeds of hope for a better future - This Comuna 13 Graffiti tour has given me valuable insights in the troubled past of these ever-expanding San Javier neighbourhoods and it has taught me about the positive changes and the blossoming seeds of hope for a better future for these people. My guide Daniel was very knowledgeable about the history and the current positive evolution forward of this comuna. He is also a great person who shares his mind, insights and heart, which is invaluable. We also went off the beaten touristic path for a while, wandering around in what we could describe as dire living circumstances, which allowed me to expand my mind about a raw reality that was abstract to me. Thank you very much for this highly recommendable experience. My excursions with Andres and his team have provided me with so many unforgettable memories. Not only are they highly proficient in everything they do, they really put their minds, and even more importantly, their hearts into it, which makes all the difference. Communication is always so easy, warm and kind. It has been a distinct pleasure to have been able to experience some of the marvellous sights Medellín (and its surroundings) has to offer, with them by my side. I'm already looking forward to going on new adventures with them, next time I'm in Medellín. (I even registered an account on Tripadvisor, just so I could write the reviews they deserve)

Medellin Highlights in One Day - Amazing city tour of Medellin! Medellin day trips completely exceeded my expectations. I was greeted by Erika at my hotel. Erika was prompt and super smart and courteous and fun! I felt like I was hanging out with a girlfriend all the while exploring the beautiful city of Medellin. We covered all of the major highlights and I learned so much about Medellin in one day. I highly recommend this tour, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Trip with Family - We had an amazing time on this trip. We were a family of 5 (three kids under 10) and went on the graffiti tour and then also did a hike outside of town. The tour guide was friendly and great with the kids. Highly recommend!

Amazing Experience - highly recommended! - Henry was a fantastic guide! My Spanish is not very good, but he was also fluent in English, which made everything simple. I was picked up right on time from the lobby in my hotel. He was very knowledgeable on the history of La Comuna 13 and it was obvious he knew his way around very well. The locals were also friendly and welcoming. I opted for the early pickup (7am). I’m glad I did, as there were no crowds or lines to deal with. We were able to casually stroll through the community without feeling rushed to take pictures or skip over anything.
