Alex is a fantastic tour guide, very funny and very well informed. His personal story is also incredibly inspiring. He took us around the most important parts of comuna 13, allowed us to experience the culture in its fullest despite the time constraints, and there was enough opportunity to rest and enjoy on our own.

This was one of our best days in Colombia. We were a group of 7 (5 adults and one 4 year old). A few in our group are more comfortable in English so we decided to go with an English speaking guide. Kevin was AMAZING, fluent English, great attitude, super knowledgeable (he grew up in the neighborhood). He was patient with us, funny, waited while we all took a million pics, and even helped us with other recommendations. The views and street art, the dancers, the history, all so amazing. Try the coconut or mango biche ice creams. If you're thinking about this tour, stop thinking and just book it! And 100% ask to go with him!! #TeamKevinForeverThe experience with Kevin was incredible, from the history of the neighborhood and significance of the murals, to the energy, music, and wonderful food, you could really feel the sense of community of Comuna 13. Highly recommend for a full Medellin experience
