Description

We are AICTOUR, a local tour company born in Comuna 13. Our guides are from the neighborhood and have lived through its transformation firsthand.

On this walking tour, we’ll take you beyond the famous graffiti and show you the story behind the art, the streets, and the people who call Comuna 13 home.

You’ll discover how a neighborhood deeply affected by violence and conflict transformed into a vibrant community known for its urban art, music, dance, local artists, and incredible spirit of resilience.

As we walk through Comuna 13, your local guide will share real stories about its past, the difficult years experienced by the community, and the changes that have shaped the neighborhood we see today.

You’ll see colorful murals, meet local artists, explore the famous outdoor escalators, discover viewpoints, and experience the energy of the streets while learning what these places mean to the people who live here.

This is not just a tour about graffiti. It’s a story of transformation told by the people who lived it.

Come walk with us, listen to our stories, meet our community, and discover Comuna 13 from the inside.

Great tour great guide

The meeting instructions were clear and precise. Christians English was excellent, his knowledge of the zona 13 area was evident. The complexities of the political history of columbia and the drug trade were explained with insight and nuance.

Amazing tour

This was an excellent tour, made even better by our wonderful guide, Alexander. He was so knowledgeable and kind. He is from Comuna 13 and is passionate about his community and its history. We had a fun surprise stop at his family’s coffee and chocolate shop where we sampled 6 different chocolates and coffee. It was absolutely some of the best chocolate I’ve ever eaten and I’ve had chocolate all over the world. 100% recommend. Definitely the biggest highlight during our trip to Medellin!

So enjoyable

Our walking tour was very enjoyable! We got to sample some great chocolate and see some really fun murals during our trip and at the end of our tour at a gallery. Juanjo was very knowledgeable having had lived at communa 13 growing up. He was also a great help getting back to our apartment after the tour. I would highly recommend him as your guide.

Great tour with Cristian aka “teacher”

This tour was great! We picked the 4:30pm time slot so we were able to see Comuna 13 at day and night. Cristian was super knowledge and friendly. Highly recommended!
