What a great tour! My wife and I really enjoyed how authentic it was. Riding the metro while learning of the history of Medellin was a great experience! Once in Comuna 13, it was nice to learn of the area from a true local. We’d highly recommend this tour, especially if you prefer a private, “non-touristy” experience.
