What you'll see and do
Comuna13
Comuna 13 was one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in Medellin just 20 years ago, but it has been transformed to a very colorful vibrant place. The change started when the government built escalators in the area thus connecting the area to the city of Medellin, in fact these were the first escalators installed in Latin America. We will be walking through the Comuna 13, taking in the best views, hip street art and also taking the journey on these outdoor escalators. I've lived in Comuna 13 for most of my life and have witnessed the change with my own eyes, I am happy to introduce you to the way locals and explore the best spots in the area.

Way better than I expected
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re visiting Comuna 13, do yourself a favor and book a tour with John. My group and I spent over two hours exploring the area with him, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Medellín. John was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and transformation of Comuna 13. He didn’t just show us the famous murals and escalators—he brought the neighborhood’s story to life and gave us a much deeper understanding of the people who live there. What stood out most was how much he genuinely cared about making sure everyone had a great experience. He took his time answering questions, helped us with side requests, and made sure we never felt rushed. His energy, professionalism, and local insight made the tour both educational and enjoyable. By the end of the tour, I felt like I had learned more than I ever could from reading online or watching videos. If you’re looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Medellín, John is the guide you want. Highly recommended. Thank you, John! Ps. He’s fluent in plenty languages

2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How does 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 compare to similar tours in Medellín?
+

Who is 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 best for?
+
It suits families and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 2.5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 good value?
+
Yes. It starts at $18, below the $24 typical for similar experiences in Medellín.
How much does 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.
Is 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13?
+
Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Hours Street Art Walking Tour in Medellin Comuna 13 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medellín?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medellín?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
