An authentic experience that I would repeat again!
Doing the Walking with Nando tour was a wonderful experience. Nando has an in-depth knowledge of the history, culture and secret corners of Medellin, making each tour authentic, warm and very human. Ideal for families with children, older adults or travelers who prefer to enjoy the city at a quiet pace, without rush, but with lots of content and good energy. We loved walking through traditional neighborhoods, listening to local stories and connecting with local people. In addition, everything is very well organized and rating the love and passion with which Nando shares his city. I totally recommend Walking with Nando if you want to live a cultural, local and sustainable tourism in Medellin. It is a different and enriching way to get to know the city, perfect for those looking for more than just a sightseeing tour.

Our private walking tour with Jhoan was wonderful!!
We met up with Jhoan in the museum of memories. He was a very Knowles le historian and used the interactive museum screens to give us a clear understanding of Columbias history since the 1930s. His history class was so informative and helpful in understanding what we would later experience as we walked during our tour. We also had some good refreshments on the way. In all, we felt more like locals than tourists.
Response from the operator: Gracias por su visita y por confiar en nuestro trabajo. Siempre bienvenidos!

Walking with Nando I recommend!
Nando is the best!, you have to listen to his story of resilience. Although I already knew Commune 13, this time I decided to go with a guide, on the recommendation of some friends, who had already made the tour with Nando, it was certainly the best decision, I realized I did not know anything about the neighborhood and what the people of the place had gone through. Walking with Nando I recommend!
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por tus comentarios, nos hace muy felices que hayan disfrutado de nuestra ciudad e historia. Siempre bienvenidos!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day?
+
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 Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day?
+
Around 4 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour in Medellin and Commune 13 with Local Guide- full day 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.
