Save your money and avoid
Tour is difficult to find and then we had to wait 30 mins after the start time to actually begin. The guide essentially walked up a very busy route with minimal commentary and we waited at some stops for him to reappear. As one stage he disappeared for ages and no one on the tour had any idea where he’d gone. Street food consisted of 3 small portions. The guide could have shared far more information about commune 13 and being more proactive in telling everyone why we were stopping for so long. Read the commune 13 history on Wikipedia and walk up to the top yourself - you can’t get lost!
Response from the operator: Hola auscey un gusto saludarte. Lamentamos que tu experiencia no halla sido satisfactoria como solemos hacerlo, este guía ya no está trabando con nosotros por esto y otras cosas. De igual manera una disculpa. Y mucha suerte en todo.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food cost?
+
Prices start at $263 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 Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food take?
+
Plan for about 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 Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 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 Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food?
+
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 Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food?
+
Around 12 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Medellin Exclusive : Tour Communa 13 & Centro & Food 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.

+
