La visita estuvo bien, aunque el guía se dejaba cosas por explicar. Lo que no nos gustó nada es que decían que era free tour, pero desde el primer momento el guía nos dijo que había un mínimo de 35000 pesos. Si es un cree tour deben dejar que el cliente decida y no forzar la situación desde el principio. Y al final del tour, cuando le dimos los 35000 por persona nos dijo que igual podríamos darle 20000 más. Esto me parece horrible. Prefiero que en vez de free tour pongan que tiene un costo.

The visit was good, although the guide left things unexplained. What we didn't like at all is that they said it was a free tour, but from the first moment the guide told us that there was a minimum of 35,000 pesos. If it is a cree tour, they should let the client decide and not force the situation from the beginning. And at the end of the tour, when we gave him the 35,000 per person, he told us that we could still give him 20,000 more. This seems horrible to me. I prefer that instead of a free tour they say that it has a cost. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía Robin fue excepcional. Si están en Medellín y tienen pensado conocer la Comuna 13, les recomiendo hacerlo de la mano de alguien que haya crecido allí. Recorrer sus calles sin conocer su historia y evolución sería perderse una parte esencial de la experiencia. Robin, muchas gracias por compartir con nosotros tus vivencias y por enseñarnos la Comuna a través de tus ojos. Fue un verdadero placer. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Robin was exceptional. If you're in Medellín and planning to visit Comuna 13, I highly recommend doing so with someone who grew up there. Walking its streets without knowing its history and evolution would mean missing an essential part of the experience. Robin, thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us and for showing us the Comuna through your eyes. It was a true pleasure. Opinion translated. Show original.

Me gustó mucho conocer la Comuna 13 y su historia a través de las explicaciones de Daniel. Además no nos llevó por la calle principal, que es la más turística y con mayor cantidad de comercios, sino por otras calles más tranquilas y auténticas. Lo único que me sobró fueron las dos paradas en establecimientos turísticos, que no dejan de ser una excusa para gastar dinero. Translate this opinion into English.

I really enjoyed learning about Comuna 13 and its history through Daniel's explanations. He didn't take us along the main street, which is the most touristy and has the most shops, but rather along quieter, more authentic streets. My only complaint was the two stops at tourist establishments, which were just an excuse to spend money. Opinion translated. Show original.

Carolina ha sido una excelente guía. Nos ha explicado super bien la historia de la Comuna 13, incluso historias reales vividas en su familia. Recomiendo que quien visite este lugar lo haga con guía de la zona, es una buena experiencia, muy segura y podrás ver sitios que de otra forma sería casi imposible.

La actividad fue entretenida y Juliana era muy cercana y explicaba muy bien lo que quizá iba un poco rápido en las explicaciones y nos faltó un poco de profundizar más en varios temas porque al final el Tour es más visitar la comuna que como tal conocer todos los detalles de la historia. Aun asi estuvimos muy cómodos y recomendamos mucho la actividad. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was enjoyable, and Juliana was very approachable and explained things very well. Perhaps she went a little fast, and we felt she could have gone into more depth on several topics because, ultimately, the tour is more about visiting the town than learning all the details of its history. Even so, we were very comfortable and highly recommend the activity. Opinion translated. Show original.

Mejor imposible, Daniel Muñoz un excelente guía que si no es por él no conocemos el interior verdadero de la comuna ya que el resto de parte turística se puede hacer perfectamente sin guía, pero gracias a él pudimos conocer la historia del famoso barrio de Medellín.

Couldn’t be better, Daniel Muñoz is an excellent guide who, without him, we wouldn’t know the true interior of the community since the rest of the tourist spots can be done perfectly without a guide, but thanks to him we were able to learn about the history of the famous neighborhood of Medellín.

La guía Mariana fue excelente!! nos explico con mucho esmero la historia de la comuna y las realidades de sus habitantes. Mejoraría que con la gran cantidad de turistas que manejan tuvieran un servicio de transporte propio para acceder a la parte alta desde donde inicia el recorrido. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Mariana was excellent! She explained the history of the town and the realities of its inhabitants with great care.

Una experiencia increíble, nuestra guía Silvia nos contó toda la historia con detalle y nos llevó a conocer las zonas y murales más emblemáticos de la comuna, un súper plus que ella justo vivió toda la historia desde chiquita en la comuna 13 porque siempre ha vivido allá, eso lo hizo sentir mucho más cercano y nos ayudó a empatizar con la historia y la transformación del lugar, hay comida riquísima, mucho arte y personas llenas de talento Translate this opinion into English.

An incredible experience! Our guide, Silvia, told us the whole story in detail and took us to see the most emblematic areas and murals of the district. A huge plus was that she's lived through all of this history since she was a child in District 13, because she's always lived there. That made it feel much closer and helped us empathize with the history and transformation of the place. There's delicious food, lots of art, and incredibly talented people. Opinion translated.

Esperienza assolutamente interessante e consigliata. Il turismo è una risorsa per questo luogo perciò comprensibilmente da tale vieni trattato ma senza alcuna costrizione. Robin ci ha aiutato a comprendere meglio la storia e l’attualità della Comuna facendoci partecipare ad attività locali, con la sorpresa finale che il suo grande coinvolgimento e passione venivano dall’essere parte in prima persona di questo luogo. Guida e tour imperdibili. Translate this opinion into English.

An absolutely interesting and highly recommended experience. Tourism is a resource for this place, so understandably, you're treated as such, but without any pressure.

Una experiencia preciosa y muy especial en la Comuna 13 Nos ha encantado conocer la Comuna 13 de la mano de Marcela.
