Our guide Camilo was fantastic. A gentleman, a professional, a historian, and most importantly has lived in Medellín through the checkered past. We learned so much about Comuna 13 and generally Medellín.
A brilliant and fascinating tour with Sebastian who was so knowledgeable and happy to answer my many questions! As a sole female traveller I felt very safe and comfortable and could not recommend more highly
We had an excellent experience with Joshua our guide he was very knowledgeable and knew all the special points during the tour. Definitely once in a lifetime experience
Our guide Camilo was incredible. This is a must do activity while in Medellin. Camilo was very knowledgeable of the history of C13, Medellin, and all of the art/murals. Highly recommend!
Great tour to an incredible neighborhood with so much art, history, and culture! Our tour guide Joshua was amazing and he introduced us to the artist Chota 13!
Joshua was a fantastic guide. He picked us up from our hotel and was very engaging on the ride to Comuna 13. He had a great hookup for parking and was obviously well connected all over the neighborhood. His tour was the perfect blend of information and exploring. He took us over to the cable car after we went to the top of the escalators. We had plenty of time to explore and check out the views and the artwork. Our friends recommended this tour after they visited a few months ago and we would also highly recommend Joshua and this company.
Interesting neighborhood, nice to learn about the history. Joshua was good and answered all our questions
A great time in comuna 13 Comuna 13 is a vital and exilerating experience while visiting Medellin. How a neighborhood that was a "no go" zone for decades has become the art foodstall destination. It is crowded lively street art is excellent. A must see. Escalators make the climb up managable. Do go with a guide. It is a labyrynth. Our guide Joshua arrived on time and was a wealth of information,explaining the history of the area as well as nuances of the street art representations.. Also info about the city trans system..how to get around..the different "comunas"(neighborhoods) ..highly recommend this tour
Thumbs up to Camillo, our guide for Commun 13 tour. Spoke excellent English, paced the 3-hour session well, immersed us in local history, and was very enjoyable company.
We loved our visit to Comuna 13. Comila was a great guide. He spoke excellent English and knew a great deal about the history of the area. We were surprised at how many of the locals he knew there. Comuna 13 is not only an interesting area to visit, but the art and graffiti walls were amazingly colorful and beautiful. We also took a ride up the cable car to see the views and the opposite side of the Comuna. Also very interesting and worthwhile. We would highly recommend this tour, and Comila for your guide. You will not be disappointed.
It was a amazing experience i love this country.. he showed us a amazing time his english is amazing i recommend you guys to check it out
I loved this tour! Camilo was an amazing and knowledgeable guide! And also a lovely person! Communa 13 is an experience you must not miss while in Medellin! It was well worth the extra spend to have a private tour, it would’ve been much more difficult to really embrace the history and experience of this tour in a large group!
Very informative tour on the history of Comuna 13. Camilo was very friendly, and showed me all the best views. I would recommend for anyone looking to visit.
Camilo gave me one of the most insightful and engaging tours of Medellín, especially around Comuna 13 and other neighbourhoods. He didn’t just show me the sights — he explained the deeper context, the history, and the differences between the various comunas. It was properly educational, but never dry. You can tell he’s passionate about his city and knows it inside out. Highly recommended if you want more than just surface-level sightseeing.
This is an excellent tour! Juna David was an excellent tour guide and answered all of our questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of wonderful history about Medellin and Colombia. The tour itself was wonderful. It was never rushed, and we were able to stop and enjoy different parts of Comuna 13. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a personalized and unique experience!
Joshua was an awesome guide ! His knowledge of both Medellín and specifically communa 13 was unmatched. His English is perfect and he’s a great guy! Highly recommend !
Amazing time and great service ! Very accommodating and professional experience . Highly recommend using this company
We had so much fun with Camilo! He was very knowledgeable about everything to do with Medellín and Colombia and answered so many of our questions. We spent almost half the day with him and it flew by!
Camantours did an amazing job. Juan was a very informative tour guide who spoke English well. Johnny was a great and safe driver. The tour bus was clean and nice with air conditioning. Overall, loved it.
Juan D. was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about Medillín and Commune 13. I hope to see him again on future tours.
The guide was not very good with providing the history of Commune 13. Compared with the same tour we had five years ago, this was a very underwhelming experience and not worth the money that we paid.
It was an amazing tour and very well organized. Camilo is a very professional and helpful guide. Highly recommend for everyone 💪
An eye-opening tour. Comuna 13 is a colorful neighborhood. Its evolution and resilience are visibly present in its arts and people.
Joshua picked us up at our hotel and gave us a fantastic tour of Comuna 13, with all the honesty and perspective that is required to appreciate the remarkable history of this neighborhood. Highly recommended!
Amazing experience, my tour guide was very knowledgeable about the rich history of Colombia and Comuna 13. That made the tour 10 times better. I would highly recommend!
We did a tour with Jhon and had the best time. He picked us up from hotel and gave us so much history on the area. We got to see so much on the tour and experience the cable cars and Communa 13 area. Take this tour while in Medellín.
Camilo did a phenomenal job—I even got to meet one of the prominent mural artists, Chota 13. I will absolutely try to get Camilo again if I am fortunate enough to get back to Medellin.
The experience was great. Camilo was amazing and informing us of every detail of C13. Highly recommend him due to his great knowledge.
Nice trip. Very friendly and helpful guide. Very knowledgeable about the stops. The view is very impressive and beyond our imagination.
Very interesting tour! Joshua was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The transformation of this community is refreshing.
Joshia was very knowledgeable and provided a great tour. It was nice hearing the story of transformation and how the art ties it all together.
Awesome experience! Learned so much history on this tour and enjoy walking around community 13 and taking the cable care up the mountain exploring the local areas with a local . Felt safe and secure the whole trip . Great communication . Highly recommend!
Camilo was such an amazing guide in showing us around the city for the Communa 13 tour. We learned so much about the history of this part of Medellin, and we really enjoyed it.
The trip to communa 13 with Camillo was absolutely amazing. Camillo brought so much history and knowledge of Communa 13. What an experience!!! If your looking for a great time and really want to see the beauty of the country Camillo and his team do a fantastic job. He is a true local and can really educate you and show the beauty of this country.
Incredible tour of a fascinating place! Camillo is a wonderful guide - we learned so much about comuna 13 and it's history.
Great experience! I learned a lot during our tour and will do this again. Our driver Sebastian was awesome! I recommend early morning tour to avoid the crowd. There are vendors along the tour with handcrafted gifts to buy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this was an absolute phenomenal tour! communa 13 is stunning. the people are amazing. the food is delicious. the art is spectacular. and Camilo was an absolute gem as a tour guide!
Camilo was outstanding, knowledgeable and kind. We learned so much from his tour that we ended up cancelling another tour we had scheduled. Highly recommend!
Excellent city tour. If you have a couple hours to spare, then this is the day for you. My tour guide Camilo was very attentive, and very knowledgeable. He has so much energy and happiness. I learned so much about the culture of the city.
Juan is a very good guide we learned a lot with him about Colombia Thanks for all. We highly recommend this tour in Comuna 13
Visiting Comuna 13 in Medellin was a truly unforgettable experience. The breathtaking views of the city from the hillsides left us all in awe, and the vibrant colors and intricate murals on the walls told a powerful story of the city's history. Walking through the streets felt like stepping into a living art gallery, where every mural depicted a piece of the community's past and present. Jhon was our tour guide, and even with our large group of 16 people, he answered all of our questions and was patient with all of us. Absolutely grateful for such an amazing guide, hands down the best tour we have taken. The tour provided a unique insight into the resilience and creativity of the local residents. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin – it's a must-see for those seeking a deeper understanding of the city's culture and spirit. If you are going to Colombia from the US, know that this tour is an absolute must do! Thank you Jhon, Diego and Camantours. We will be back!
My family and I went to Comuna 13 with Joshua as our tour guide. It was a great experience not only for the colourful views but also for the feelings, emotions and history written in each mural. For a Colombian who witnessed the events during the war between the cartels, this tour brought many memories of pain and despair. Joshua with his accurate recollection of events helped me to understand and put together the pieces that I was missing. Thank you Joshua for your great job!
Camilo was the best tour guide for us. Picked us up on time and was very knowledgeable. He waited for us in every store that we wanted to check out and we never felt rushed.
Camilo was our tour guide and was absolutely amazing. He was very knowledgeable and patient. He answered any question under the sun and gave a great insight into life in Medellin.
Our guide Camilo was great...very patient and knowledgeable about Medillin's history and culture. He took us all around and even helped us with our shopping.
Commune 13 a vibrant neighborhood was once the most dangerous places in the world Camilo my tour guide thought me history about Commune 13. He also explained about the murals on the walls about.
Maria was an amazing guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and gave a good energy to the whole group! Also kept track of all of us during a very busy time! Would definitely recommend this tour and I learned so much about the history and culture
We had a fantastic tour today of Communa 13 with Camilo. He readily shared his passion and knowledge of the transformation of this communa from past dark times to today’s positive, vibrant energy. Camilo put us at ease while leading us through the area and sharing amazing fresh fruit popsicles along the way. We can’t wait to discover more!
The tour was very informative and My tour guide Camilo C 13 was very well versed and explained all aspects of the city of Medellín.
