This was an amazing experience! Our tour guide, Yuly, was friendly, extremely knowledgeable. We took several tours in Medellín but this was the best by far. Yuly picked us up from our Airbnb and drove us to the destinations on the tour. Her knowledge of history was impressive and she explained the complicated history of Comuna 13 clearly and thoroughly and sensitively. The tour includes a metro cable (sky tram) ride to see amazing views and learn about the history of the area. Then Yuly drove us to the Comuna 13 tourist area and we began walking uphill through the neighborhood, learning more history, watching street dancers, learning about how the graffiti reflects the history of Comuna 13. It is impossible to describe the vibrancy, and energy of this neighborhood. Its tragic history does not define this neighborhood. Yuly’s tour made this clear and brought Comuna 13 alive for us. I highly recommend this tour!
