Unforgettable cultural experience! - We had an incredible time on a private tour with our guide, Carlos. He hosted the tour in English so we could communicate more easily. The experience itself was amazing— filled with a bunch of local bites, history, and incredible views and art through the barrio. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it!

Great tour with Juan Carlos! - We had a blast on this tour with Juan Carlos! We loved his vibe from the start and knew we were going to have a great afternoon with him. We started off at the Fruit market sampling fruits from Panama which were absolutely delicious. We then took the metro cable car and learned all about how it transformed the Comunas in Medellin. We ended the afternoon in Comuna 13 which is bright and vibrant. Juan Carlos had a great sense of humor and his story telling was top notch. This tour is a must and please request Juan Carlos!

Great private tour of Comuna 13 & a fruit market - Juan Carlos from The Andes Adventure Travel co was an excellent guide for our combined tour of a fruit market and Comuna 13. We booked a private tour with transit to/from our hotel. Juan Carlos was on time with a comfortable vehicle. He was very knowledgeable about local history which made the tour much more worthwhile vs just visiting the sites alone and good value for money. Would recommend everyone to see Comuna 13 on a trip to Medellin and to be sure to understand the history of the place. We typically travel independently but are glad we booked a guide for these sites and would highly recommend Juan Carlos.

Stop searching and book this tour - This was by far one of the best tours we have ever been on. Daniel was amazing. It's safe, informative, and extremely unique in every way. We travel around the world and this is by far one of the best experiences we have ever had. Save yourself some time from continuing to search and just book it. If you abake to get Daniel as your guide, that's even better! He picked us up in a comfortable car with ice cold AC. We had some fruit at the market that we have never had before and he showed us a couple other spots in town. Having your own guide and no one else on the tour allowed us to ask all the questions we wanted. 10/10 tour.

Perfect experience to do... - Perfect experience to do privately! Comuna 13 was very crowded so I was glad that it was just my friend and the guide, who was very knowledgable. Carlos seemed to know so many people there, so he is very much part of the community. The fruit and market was also great. The fruits were very tasty and unique!

Amazing Tour. Amazing guide. - The stream of 5 star reviews on here tell you everything you need to know, but I’ll just echo how good this company is. We loved every minute of our tour with JuanCarlos and couldn’t be happier that we decided to do a private tour. We learned so much and got to move at our own pace. It’s the best way to see Comuna 13.
