Highlights
  • Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13 - Comuna 13 was the most dangerous district in Medellin only 18 years ago.

And is also the place where the first outdoor non-touristy electrical escalators in the world were installed. They were inaugurated in December of 2011 with a cost of 3,5 million dollars and was built to save more than 350 stairs in a very steep hill.

Besides the escalators, Comuna 13 is also one of the biggest street art district in Latin America.

Half of the neighborhood displays meaningful graffitis and you get the chance to learn all their meanings in this incredible Graffiti Tour with us.

Throughout the walk in Comuna 13 we invite you to try the traditional snacks from Colombia, if you are a foodie you will love the food.

Empanadas, Butifarras, Carimañolas, Aborrajado and more, all of them delicious and authentic.

In our walk we visit the view point, the new pathway full of graffiti and the slide built to honor a tragedy occurred in Comuna 13.

There is a lot of history to be heard at this tour.

Fun, informative, well organized - Absolutely amazing day led by Laura. We learned so much, ate great food, saw amazing sites, and had a ton of fun while doing it. The drive time also went by quickly as Laura was very fun to talk to. I would highly recommend this trip and Medellin day trips as a company 100%.

A must do! - This was one of the BEST tours my friends and I did on our trip to Colombia! Sara was amazing!! I cannot say enough great things about her… it feels like we made a life long friend with her. She was soo knowledgeable! We booked directly through Medellin Day Trips to ensure the local company got most of the money. No regrets! We miss Sara already. Just be ready to walk around a lot… so get comfy shoes. You’ll spend a lot of time in a car to drive places but Sara will tell you allll you need to know about Medellin. Highly highly highly highly recommend! If you get Sara … you’ll have won the jackpot!

Discovering Medellin and Guatape - The morning we spent in the Comuna13 in Medellin and our afternoon trip to Guatape were unique experiences of our stay in Medellin. Erika, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and provided excellent information about what we saw. Plenty of history and background info on the entire experience. Even though it was a full day, Erika allowed for reststops, shopping, and dining. We saw local culture such as artists, musicians, dancers, and venders. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Erika as your tour guide.

Unforgettable! - A full day of history and marvelous views. Erika was my guide for the day and was great company. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much about every detail we saw in Comuña 13 and Guatape. She even picked out a great place for lunch and helped me find the most unique poncho that I was looking for in Guatape. Climbing the rock takes a bit of effort with over 600 (narrow) steps, but the views are worth its Unforgettable experience and will definitely go again.

Multiple Amazing Tours! - Last year we toured with Erika, said we would be back, and this year we did! We scheduled more tours this trip since we enjoyed the Coffee Farm and Guatape Tour so much previously. Over a few days, we went on the Food Tour, Graffiti and City tour, and Guatape and Flower Farm tour. Erika is truly amazing and was patient with all our questions and wanting to stop everywhere. We learned so much about each place we went to, and she knew great spots to stop along the way. Guatape was beautiful and there's definitely something to be said for walking around with someone who knows the stories of each mural and friendly locals. The car ride was easy and comfortable, lots of space and AC. Erika spoke perfect English and Spanish, she's very knowledgeable and passionate. We feel very fortunate to have had her as our tour guide and we can't wait to go back and take more tours!

Amazing One Day Tour! - This tour is a great option if you have just one day in Medellin. Sara was our tour guide, she is incredible and a really nice person. Sara explained to us everything about Medellin and the places that we visited; we had such a great time with her. We visited the Comuna 13 (Comuna and Graffiti Tour) and the beautiful Guatapé (Peñol and Zocalos Town). We also added as an extra the Metrocable tour, and it was a wonderful experience with nice views of Medellin. Andres answered all my questions before booking the tour and gave me valuable tips. I highly recommend this tour and Medellin Day Trips!
