    Total scam - reserved the tour an hour ahead of time, just before the tour is set to begin I’m told they will cancel because they needed minimum 2 guests and I was the only one who reserved. I offered to pay double since I was already in my Uber headed there and at least I wouldn’t waste my afternoon, but seems that was just an excuse because his next reason was that no guides were available. The host was very rude, it seems they are only prepared to honor their reservations when it suits them so… you can take your chances but don’t trust that a tour is really available even if the times are free to book. He has also not given a refund. I’m sure they’ll have another story to tell but - this was laughably incompetent. If Mateo had been respectful and apologized they could have found a way to resolve the situation amicably, but his attitude was really appalling. Since my Uber had almost arrived by the time they cancelled I went anyways - ended up meeting a wonderful guide from “Colombian Ambassadorsl” I Highly recommend you search for their tour, or even go alone, but avoid these clowns unless you want to waste your time!

    TERRIBLE!!!!Overpriced! I booked a tour for my family and I (4 of us) on November 11th at 9:00AM. First of all we never really had clear instructions on how to get there, when the Uber picked us up he said the address was wrong from the one they gave us as a meeting point. When we got there we were so excited and the guide never showed up, we tried finding him and asking and we met other people with the same issue. Since it was our last day in Medellin we decided not to sweat it and just pay for another tour. The tour we got was 3rimes less the price and exactly the same, we got to see breakdancing, Colombian trova and reggaeton. That was an amazing experience. No one ever reached out to me after this and I never received a refund either. I was very upset and dissatisfied. Would never book here again.

    Take this tour with Carilyn. She is an excellent person who is clearly well respected in the community and has in depth knowledge that she will share with you along the way. You will meet local people and have mango ice cream. You will experience cool "rinconcitos" that you would have passed had you traversed this territory alone. Normally I don't like tours as I like to explore places solo (and try to blend in!), but on this day I was the only person in group so it was more intimate. I like the Monday timezone at 5pm since it seems to be cooler temperature and less people. Also good for the sunset vibes! I suspect there are crowds on the weekends which I try to avoid. This experience was unique and I am really glad I had Carilyn by my side to show me around. She is a gem. The place is cool. You will have a great time!

    I highly recommend Carilyn as your tour guide! She walked us throughout the labyrinth that is Comuna Trece with ease, as she explained the background, intent, and meaning behind many of the works of art. We took the 5pm tour to avoid the heat of the day, which was fortuitous because we were able to see the art during “golden hour” (sunset lighting) and then we got to see the city lights once the sun went down!
