Dear Colombia,
I had an excellent experience on the Comuna 13 tour. It was a very enriching visit, not only for learning the history and transformation of this place, but for the way it let us understand the culture, the art and the resilience of its community. Our guide, Jorge, was exceptional.

Dear Colombia,
Great tour! Our tour guide Joe was great, spoke perfect English and was kind and chill. He had photos and videos about the history of the neighborhood and showed what the places we were standing looked like 20 years ago.

Dear Colombia,
Incredible, very complete tour: the history, the touristy part and also the neighborhood where locals walk every day. Jorge was an incredible guide, explained everything really well, helped us with photos, and the food tastings were delicious.

Dear Colombia,
Kevin was amazing from the start. He set the rules right first, then took us through history as well the local artists who are trying to change the neighborhood for good. The local rapper experience was amazing. It's like no other place on earth. Do book if you have time!
