Experience Off the Beaten Track in Medellin with Withlocals

"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. "
