We scheduled a last minute tour. The company was very easy to chat with and very flexible on WhatsApp. The last available time listed for the tour on TripAdvisor was 3pm. I was concerned that we would see some sights in the dark (sun sets at 6pm.) The company stated we could do an earlier tour at 1pm. That's what we did! The tour guide sent me a photo of his license plate before he arrived at our hotel to pick us up. That was a wonderful safety feature. Our tour guide, Jaime was excellent! He was friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. We came across a circus while walking in the Plaza Botero area, and he didn't mind that we stopped for a few minutes to watch. We were walking by a fruit vendor, and I pointed to a small fruit and asked Jaime what fruit is that. Not only did he answer my question, but also I got to try the fruit! We did/saw a lot on this tour. It is a great tour if you are only have a day or two in MedellÍn. If I could do it again, I would do the city tour separately from the Comuna 13 tour. There is so much to see/do in Comuna 13. My husband and I went back to Comuna 13 on our own a couple of days later to explore more. I enjoyed learning about the murals from Jaime. If I didn't do the tour, I wouldn't know the meaning of the murals. Thank you Jaime for a memorable and an amazing introduction to MedellÍn!
