    A necessity for your Colombia trip!

    Our guide, John David was absolutely incredible. Hilarious and witty, he explained everything wonderfully. Gave great historical context and was super helpful. Honestly he made us laugh out loud several times. The tour was great and although we got caught in the rain and had to end the tour early I would still do it again! Thank u for everything

    This tour was excellent. ...

    This tour was excellent. We were taken all over the city to places like Plaza Botero, Paisa town, and the best of them all Communa 13. Also, we rode the metro and the cable cars in Medellin. My tour guide gave me the English version of the tour since I was the only American which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend this tour.

    The Perfect Introduction to Medellín & Comuna 13

    This was a fantastic way to experience so many different sides of Medellín in one day! Our first stop was Plaza Botero, which I found really interesting. I wasn’t very familiar with Fernando Botero or his distinctive style of sculpture before this tour, so I really enjoyed learning about the artist and seeing his work throughout the plaza. We had plenty of time to walk around, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and take some great pictures. From there, we headed to Pueblito Paisa, a charming little area designed to resemble a traditional Antioquian town. We grabbed some coffee and treats, explored the colorful colonial-style buildings, and enjoyed the atmosphere before continuing on. Next was the Medellín Metrocable, which was another highlight. The ride was a lot of fun and gave us some incredible views of Medellín as we traveled high above the city and into the hills. We got some fantastic pictures from up there! Then it was on to Comuna 13, where the real fun began. We learned about the neighborhood’s incredibly difficult history, including the violence, armed conflict, and loss experienced by the community, as well as the remarkable transformation that has taken place since then. Today, the area is filled with color, murals, music, dancing, and hip-hop culture. Everywhere you look there seems to be another artist painting, performing, dancing, or rapping. Our guide made the experience even more entertaining and even treated us to a rap of his own! We had such a great time walking through the neighborhood, seeing the artwork, listening to the music, and learning the stories behind what we were seeing. Overall, this was an excellent introduction to Medellín. You get art, history, beautiful city views, traditional Colombian culture, and the energy of Comuna 13 all in one tour. I would definitely recommend it!

    Wish we had more time in...

    Wish we had more time in Comuna 13, other than that it was a decent tour of the city. First couple of stops were meh, didn’t warrant 45 min per stop.

    City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cali.

    How much does City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Cali is not rushed.

    Is City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 86 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 445 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Cali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin?

    +

    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 City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin?

    +

    Around 156 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 Cali 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 Cali and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin 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 Cali 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 Cali?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour Guatapé, A day to enjoy nature and have an adventure in the Jordan river, Shared Tour of the Historical and Cultural Center of Cali. 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 Cali?

    +

    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 Cali?

    +

    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.

    What is included in City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin?

    +

    Included: Visit to the Barefoot Park; Communal Stairs 13; Visit to Pueblito Paisa; Visit to Plaza Botero; and Lunch. Not included: Services not specified in the plan; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +
