We kwamen daar toen werd ons gezegd dat we de bus moesten nemen. Dat was niet vantevoren vermeld en we dachten dat het een free tour was. We gaven de tourgids 60000 pesos hij zei het is 80000 .Dat was wel heel vreemd .Dat vonden de andere mensen die de tour deden ook .En hij was ook niet heel proffesioneel jammer.

We arrived there and were told we had to take the bus. That hadn't been mentioned beforehand, and we thought it was a free tour. We gave the tour guide 60,000 pesos, and he said it was 80,000. That was very strange. The other people doing the tour thought so too. And he wasn't very professional either, which is a shame.

La verdad, no tenía muchas expectativas sin embargo, esta fue una experiencia increíble. Visitar la Comuna 13 en Medellín fue de lo mejor del viaje. El arte urbano, las escaleras eléctricas y la historia de superación del lugar son impresionantes. Un agradecimiento especial a nuestro guía Robin de World Lion Tours quien hizo el recorrido súper dinámico, con una energía y un conocimiento del lugar espectaculares. ¡Totalmente recomendado!"

The tour was OK - it seemed that the tour guide focused more on trying to get us to buy souvenirs and food rather than learning about the history and murals in depth. I would have liked more about the history of the Communa 13 area and how it rebuilt to what it is today.

Thank you for your feedback regarding the tour. We appreciate your comments about the guide's focus during the experience. We will address this with our team to ensure that future tours provide a more in-depth exploration of the history and culture of the area.

Nuestro guía Robin de lo mejor del mundo. Qué energía, qué manera de contarte todo y adentrarte en la comuna 13. Robin nos ha hecho emocionar con su historia, y agradecemos la sensación de cuidado. Por último el paseo por el mirador de su familia, de los pocos miradores sin perder su autenticidad. Si tuviéramos que darle una puntuación sería un 1000/10. Mil gracias Robin por lo que nos has regalado que no tiene precio. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide Robin was the best in the world. What energy! What a way to tell you everything and immerse you in Comuna 13. Robin moved us with his story, and we appreciated the feeling of care he gave us. Finally, the walk to his family's viewpoint, one of the few viewpoints that hasn't lost its authenticity. If we had to give him a score, it would be 1000/10. Thank you so much, Robin, for this priceless gift. Opinion translated. Show original.

Realmente es poco lo que habla la guía sobre la historia de la comuna 13, es más caminar desde una zona no turística a la zona turística y escuchar unas cuantas cosas al respecto. Eso sumado a que te cobran 50.000 pesos colombianos de "forma voluntaria" (aunque sabemos que es obligatoria). Deberían dejar de poner que es un free tour y venderlo al precio que están pidiendo la propina, sumado a que además te hacen pagar tu propio transporte... no volvería a tomarlo.

The guide barely talks about the history of Comuna 13; it's mostly just walking from a non-touristy area to a tourist area and hearing a few things about it. On top of that, they charge 50,000 Colombian pesos "voluntarily" (even though we know it's mandatory). They should stop advertising it as a free tour and sell it at the price they're asking for the tip, plus they make you pay for your own transportation... I wouldn't take it again.

Lamentamos que la guía no haya proporcionado la información histórica que esperabas sobre la Comuna 13. Agradecemos tus comentarios y los tomaremos en cuenta para mejorar nuestro servicio. Translate this opinion into English.

Nos ha encantado el Tour, La Comuna 13 es un lugar fascinante y, no hay nada como recorrerla de la mano de alguien que ha sido testigo directo de esa transformación tan profunda. Esa conexión personal con la historia es lo que hace que la experiencia sea realmente inolvidable y mucho más humana. Translate this opinion into English.

La actividad estuvo excelente! David nuestro guía fue excelente, nos dio un recorrido y experiencia con sentido de resilencia y amor comunitario. Experiencias vividas y voces del pasado fueron transmitidas con vivida realidad para resaltar el amor y el poder comunitario de superación. Recomendado, pero hay que subir muchas escaleras para el que tenga dificultad tenerlo en cuenta. Saludos desde PR Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was excellent! David, our guide, was fantastic. He gave us a tour and experience imbued with a sense of resilience and community spirit. Past experiences and voices were vividly conveyed to highlight the love and power of community in overcoming adversity. Highly recommended, but be aware that there are many stairs to climb, so those with mobility issues should keep that in mind. Greetings from Puerto Rico! 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.

Nuestra guía es habitante de la Comuna y nos contó la historia de primera mano. No me gustó la tardanza para iniciar. No nos informaron que Civitatis tiene una cafetería muy linda y segura y estuvimos media hora esperando en el metro en una zona insegura… esperamos otras personas del grupo, y luego la ruta del camión público para la Comuna, empezamos el tour 1 hora y media de la cita. Promocionan demasiado locales y negocios de amigos y conocidos y se vuelve incómodo dar propina o comprar algo…

Our guide is a resident of the Comuna and told us the story firsthand. I didn't like the delay in starting. We weren't informed that Civitatis has a very nice and safe café, and we spent half an hour waiting on the metro in an unsafe area… we waited for other people in the group, and then for the public bus route to the Comuna. The tour finally started an hour and a half late. They promote too many local businesses owned by friends and acquaintances, making it awkward to tip or buy anything…

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.
