This experience was amazing and it's clear that Sebastian brings a lot of passion and knowledge to his tours with beautiful storytelling and communication. The tour was more than just a simple walkthrough of Communa13, as we did a quick tour of downtown and took the cable car. Sebastian walked us through some of the history of the violence/struggles in Colombia amnd developing Medellin + the public transit + lower class communas, adding some rich personal perspective in between. We were a smaller group of 4 so we were able to ask him questions and dive deeper. Even though we had already done the Real City Tours walking tour of downtown, we loved hearing the story of Medellin from a different perspective. While his tour was a little more expensive than some of the other options we saw, I highly recommend and found it well worth it. This is personally what I look for in a tour, as a simple walkthrough of Communa13 would have been a little underwhelming for me.

Great tour to get acquainted with Medellin. Our guide was very knowlegeable and ensured we had a great time. Everything was as detailed and we could get a feeling of how people live in the different neighbourhoods of Medellin. Would highly recommend.

Sebastian was a fantastic tour guide. My partner and I would recommend him 10 times over. His background in architecture allows him to provide so much knowledge and nuance into the layout of the city, the history and the ongoing development of Medellin. You take the metro and cable car up to Communa 13 which is super fun. You also stop for some local refreshments along the way. In Medellin I’m sure there are no tours better than this one.
