Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had the best time with Jhoan on our Camuna 13 tour. Jhoan is an excellent communicator and related well with everyone in our group especially my 90 year old mother. We learned so much history about the region and the people. All questions were welcomed and answered extremely intelligently. We felt like Jhoan was part of our family immediately. Don't hesitate to book a tour you will not be disappointed. If you're looking for a professional, down to earth and knowledgeable tour guide who is just fun to hang out with, Jhoan is your man and best choice. Thank you WithLocals Tours. "
"Visiting with Jhoan was such a memorable experience. Beyond the vibrant art, he shared powerful stories about the community’s difficult past and its remarkable transformation. Learning how the people of Comuna 13 turned struggle into resilience and creativity was truly moving. I really appreciated Jhoan’s kindness and the thoughtful conversations along the way - it felt less like a tour and more like spending time with a friend."
"Jhoan was a great guide for Comuna 13. He grew up in the Comuna and is very knowledgeable about it's history and Columbia's history in general. This kind of tour is essential for a good experience of this area as you will not learn the meaning behind any of the graffiti and why it is so important if you do it on your own or as part of a big group. We couldn't recommend Jhoan highly enough."

"Jhoan’s english is EXCELLENT!!! Very informative! You won’t feel rushed, while also being offered time to enjoy each spot. Jhoan really makes you feel comfortable, treats you like an old friend! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"
"Jhoan is truly an awesome guy & extremely knowledgeable in the history of Colombia & Comuna 13, the whole area is his childhood neighborhood he showed us some beautiful places and recommended a great restaurant for us to try nearby prior to our tour. all around it was a great time and we learned so much about that area it’s extremely important to have someone as knowledgeable as him on a tour with you otherwise you will miss out on so many stories and history that are all around you secretly that only the locals know. "
"The first meeting with Jhoan was very pleasant. Jhoan knows Medellin like the back of his hand. He has a lot to say about culture, society, history and politics. I really enjoyed the tour of comuna 13 with him. It was a relaxed ride with a cable car (upfront of comuna 13 tour) and a walk. Jhoan was able to take care about some extra wishes where to go, to eat, to see....It was a great day. "
"We were so grateful to have Jhoan show us around Communa 13. He did a great job of explaining how C13 came to be, the violent past and the present. We loved the stories behind the street murals and were thankful to go beyond the tourist zone. Highly recommend Jhoan for any tour. "
"Jhoan was very patient, customer oriented, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He made the tour so relaxed and enjoyable. We would highly recommend his tour. "
"My family toured Comuna 13 with Jhoan. Jhoan was very responsive when communicating. We had no trouble meeting. Jhoan walked us through Comuna 13. He did an amazing job providing context by explaining the history that led Comuna 13 to be what it is today. Jhoan did a great job answering our questions. I would highly recommend booking with Jhoan."
"I had a fantastic afternoon with Jhoan. I learned so much about the history of the neighborhood and its context within the country itself. The hours flew by. Jhoan is an excellent guide- highly recommended!"
