Great way to see the city

The name corner to corner is spot on. You go from one end of the city to another all in one day. Gives you the opportunity to take trains, buses, escalators, and cable cars. Got a taste for all Comuna 13 has to offer and experience the tranquility of Arvi. The guide, Sebastian was very good, especially with an overly large group (20). This excursion should be no more than 10 people per tour guide, probably better with 6-7.

Waaay too much

If you want to spend like four hours on the subway and about 30 seconds in each featured location, then this is the tour for you!

My advice: Do Comuna 13 one day and the cable cars to Arvi another day. Don't cram it all in one.

Must do

I was glad to get out and see other parts of the city. The guide Sebastian was super. I would have liked some more time to shop and look around in Comuna13 rather…felt like we were walking THRU lots of things but the only time to stop and linger was at Chavo’s place.

The time at the very tip top of the cable cars was a favorite moment with time to relax and actually *be* in that place.

Great Intro to the City

I loved getting to know this vibrant city on this tour. We took public transportation (including the cable car with fantastic views) and got to experience the revitalized Comuna 13 and its fun performers and dynamic art scene. Metro was crowded, but clean. Guide was knowledgeable. Really gave me an insider's view of the city.

One of the best things to do in Medellin.

One of the best things to do in Medellin. Gets you out of Pablado and introduces the public transportation system.
