Tour description

Welcome to Medellin!
My name is Sara and I invite you to live the best experience in Comuna 13 of Medellín, in the company of a local guide.

Our guides (Sara, Andrés, Eirene) will tell you about their experiences in that period of terror, for them and their families, who witnessed the cruelty of the clashes between the diferent armed groups, the wounded, the dead, and the forced disappearances. You will witness social transformation, through urban art.

You will find on the tour murals with historical significance, told by your guide, street shows, (dance and improvisation) you can make your own graffiti, you will go up to the viewpoint, through the Mechanics Escalators from where you can observe much of Comuna 13 and Medellín.

You will also find urban art galleries, souvenir sales, cafes, bars, restaurants, handicrafts, the traditional ice creams of Comuna 13 (mango biche and maracumango), typical gastronomy and much more.

Spend a pleasant time, alone or in the company of your family and friends.

You will enjoy a safe tour and want to stay or return to our Comuna.

We had an amazing tour with Yuliana! She is very knowledgeable and took us on a unique route that gave us a full view of the neighborhood but avoided many of the most crowded areas. This was a very informative and fun tour and I highly recommend it!

Yuliana is an amazing guide. She is very friendly and made a conscious effort to connect with everyone on the tour. Yuliana is very knowledgeable about the history of Comuna 13 and checked in with everyone regularly to ask if we had any questions or if there was anything specific we wanted to know about. We all appreciated how she took us on alternate routes to avoid large crowds. We also really liked the fact that we were in a small group of 6 people, making it easy for us to hear Yuliana and to stay together. I highly recommend this tour with Parce Tours, and if you happen to get Yuliana as your guide, you'll be very happy with her.

Daniel was a great tour guide, and knew a lot of history and information about the area. We loved the unique stops to see local acts, it really gave the tour an authentic feel. It was definitely one of my favourite days in Medellin!
