This fascinating slum tour displays Medellin as a new city that has hardly worked to close the gap in between rich and poor in order for everyone to enjoy great quality of life regardless of their social stratus. Get away from westernized touristy sections of the city and discover average Colombian barrios where authentic natives enjoy the top of the line infrastructure such as the San Javier cable car and the newly renovated slum Comuna 13 which possesses the most exclusive electrical escalator in America. You will gain a better understanding of this exciting city which like a sleeping giant has gone from the most violent to the most innovative on earth.

This was an amazing experience. It was our first time visiting Medellín, Colombia, so we booked a four-hour morning tour. It was a pleasure meeting our guide, Daniel. He picked us up from the hotel and gave us a guided tour of Comuna 13. He is very knowledgeable about local events, which enhanced the experience with his perspective on the history, the people, and the city’s transformation. The scenery was spectacular, and Daniel stopped frequently to suggest great photo spots. He also highlighted the amazing street art, pointed out monuments, and described other places in the city as well as communities in Colombia that we might want to visit. The tour included walking up to the top of the market section of Comuna 13, as well as riding the escalators and gondola. Overall, we truly enjoyed our guided tour and would definitely recommend it.

Our private tour to Comuna 13 was fantastic! Daniel was an excellent guide. He gave us the option on what order we wanted to do our in. He was very patient answering all of our questions and so knowledgeable. Would love to have him as a guide again. Would definitely do a private tour again.

We did a private half day tour with Luis Alberto and had a great experience. We not only got to see El Centro and Comuna 13 but also stopped at different street food vendors along the way to sample local fruits and small bites. Luis Alberto was very knowledgeable and provided excellent historical information. Highly recommend this tour.
