    Highly recommended. This was a fantastic tour of downtown Medellín and Comuna 13. We used the metro, metro cable, and bus. The tour started and ended on time (that's rare in Colombia!!). Our tour guide, Sebastian, spoke good English. Sebastian was well-informed, friendly, kind, and planned our small group tour very well. Felt like a private tour. Great job

    Columbian Ambassadors Julian offers a unique experience that's not to be missed in Medellin. Visitors can enjoy a guided city tour and explore Comune 13, an area located on the hills of Medellín and offering views of the entire city. There are also plenty of opportunities to learn about the history and culture of the area from an experienced guide like Julian. What sets this tour apart is its focus on Colombian culture, with Julian providing an insightful perspective into the lives of Colombians living there today. With his wealth of knowledge and sense of humor, it's sure to be a memorable trip through one of Colombia's most vibrant cities!

    Amazing tour, price point is great and our tour guide (Julian) was incredible. We cover so much in such a short time. Definitely recommend it!

    Absolutely the best - If we could give more than five stars we would! Take this tour early in your visit to Medellin in order to truly appreciate your time in this beautiful city. Sebastian led an interesting and well-paced tour utilizing the world-class public transportation. My teenage children and 70 year old mother all adored it and count it as one of the best experiences of our time in Colombia. Sebastian switched seamlessly from excellent English to Spanish and was knowledgeable and engaging. Conversant in art, politics, history and social investment - he is a true ambassador of the country. He will make you want to return.

    Had an absolutely amazing experience. It was great to use all the different transportation and see the city with a born and raised local!! Highly recommend. It was a great start to our time in Colombia.

    Amazing tour! Sebastian is very informative and pleasant. The visit to Comuna 13 is an eye opener and really puts things into perspective. Highly recommended.

    We loved our tour with Sebastián! He explained Botero Square, the art, and the museum's architecture very nicely. He also guided us through the centro and public transportation perfectly! We really loved how he explained the cable car system and the impact its had on the neighborhoods surrounding it. The snacks were also great. The walk to Comuna 13 was not bad at all (especially if you've already climbed up the Piedra in Guatapé). Overall, an excellent experience, especially if you want to know more of Medellin's layout, infrastructure, and communities.

    I had such a great experience and Sebastian our guide explained everything in great detail. I loved all the artwork we saw. Although I'm afraid of heights it did not stop me from ridding the cable cars/gondolas. I recommend you get a tour to navigate you through the town.

    Highly recommend! This tour was paced so perfectly between downtown history & Comuna 13. Sebastian was so genuine & provided a wonderful experience.

    We spent a wonderful day on our visit to Guatape with Sebastian. He was knowledgeable and pleasant. The drive out was beautiful and informative. The country side is breathtaking and I feel like I have a deeper understanding of Colombia. The views frim the rock are priceless. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and conversation. A must do.

    Sebastian and his team put together an amazing tour. Very well run, educational, and accurate perspective on the history of the city. Highly recommend for anyone interested in getting an in-depth tour of Comuna 13 and the other highlights of Medellin.

    Sebastian was a wonderful guide! This tour was informative and fun, and moved at a nice pace. Would definitely recommend.

    Learned so much about Medallin and got a good amount of steps in as well. Enjoyed this experience. Sebastian was a dear. Thank you for an great time.

    This was more than a cursory tour of Comuna 13. Sebastian is a native of Medellin and also an architect and urban planner. He explains how the city is using public transport to increase access within the city which improves the lives of its inhabitants. We sampled street food, saw breakdancers, and experienced all of Medellin's public transport -- Metro, Gondolas, Buses, and Escalators. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Ricardo N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience exploring Downtown Medellin and Comuna 13. Sebastian is a fantastic and super knowledgeable guide; he is passionate about his city and showing it to visitors. We had a great day and would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone!

    Beautiful tour

  • 5/5 Dan r. 4 years ago on Google
    Sebastián gives an excellent tour, utilising his knowledge as an architect and his passion for city planning. He expertly explains Medellin's regeneration, finishing in Comuna 13 for the escalator and graffiti tour.

  • 5/5 CATE D. 5 years ago on Google
    Sebastian's tour was so good I did it twice! - once with my son, and again with some friends, who all agreed that it was an amazing experience. He skilfully guides you from the centre of Medellin, to the heights above the city, whilst explaining, and educating, in a fascinating manner. We left feeling much better informed than we were when we started, and in awe of the transformation that Medellin has undergone. I would highly recommend Sebastian's tour - he is an excellent guide, and you won't regret signing up

    WOW! What a wild experience. Sebastían was an amazing guide! Full of knowledge & passion for his city. Describing an area that was once segregated & forgotten by the city, to embraced, and supported. Most cannot even comprehend the history of these people in this neighbourhood, but their outlook is inspiring! We really don't want to give away the impressive story of these people, and Comuna 13 because Sebastían does such an amazing job. You will really get to know the world's once most dangerous city, and see how innovation has really turned it around bringing peace. Sebastían was very cautious, and sure to keep the group together. He also made sure we got home safe. If you are vlogging, like us... You may be nervous about bringing out your fancy gear. No worries... You will be just fine. Thank you SO much Sebastían for sharing your heart & your city. Keep up the amazing work. - Brian + Erin

    Sebastian is an amazing tour guide! I booked his experience on Airbnb, and I am so glad I did! He took us to a coffee shop and around the City Center explaining to us the history, and recent violent past of Medellin, then took us through Comuna 13, explaining the meaning and history behind the neighbourhood, art and and graffiti. You can see and hear his pride and passion for Medellin through his thoughtful explanations and enjoyment of showing Medellin to tourists. Highly recommend this tour, and Sebastian as your guide!

😐 We did this tour when we first arrived in Medellin and it was OK but I did not feel like things were explained well. So much so, we felt compelled to try another free walking tour to understand the city and we chose Real City Tours. That one was wonderful. My advice is to book with Real City, an...
