    Full description

    Get an insight into Colombia's troubled past on a private guided tour of the formerly dangerous district of Comuna 13 in Medellín.  

    Discover a replica of an old village at Pueblito Paisa on Nutibara Hill, and get stunning views over the rooftops from one of the city's few conserved ecosystems. Make your way to Comuna 13 to learn how the most notorious neighborhood in the country has reinvented itself.

    See stunning examples of street art and graffiti that puts the political and socio-economic story of the area into context.

    Once the center of the gang wars and guerilla activity, the area has been transformed by the local community with the help of government projects such as a giant escalator that runs up the hill.

    Visit the iconic sculptures by Fernando Botero along the Botero Plaza and take a walk in the Parques del Rio.

    Great tour for those who wants to get a better feel of the city and walk around Communa 13 with the local guide who knows it all! Our guide was Hector, we got lucky we had him, he knew everyone in Communa 13 and we felt very connected. He also drove us around the city, took up the cable car and down town. It was a great tour, two thumbs up!

    Hector (our guide) made the tour very special. He also gave us a ride back to our hotel (for a reasonable fee). He was courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating!! The tour itself was different and interesting. Tour might be a bit pricy compared to other tours and value offered.

    Luis was AMAZING! Him being a local not only meant that his knowledge about the different neighborhoods of the tour was extensive, it was like traveling with a local celebrity! He knew so many folks in Comuna 13 along they way it really made you feel like you integrated into the community. The tour itself was great as it covered a lot of bases in the city. From Comuna 13, to the botanical gardens, the cable car ride, to Botera Plaza. If you only have time to do one tour while in the city, I highly recommend this one.
