Nancy was very knowledgeable and is such a sweet tour guide. I would do it again if she were my guide! She also told us some her personal stories, which I appreciated! The snacks provided were delicious and Comuna 13 was such an eye opening experience for me! 100/10 would recommend!

I first visited Comuna 13 back in 2012 and it’s really encouraging to see the positive changes for the community. The tour guide, Esteban, was great and shared some really personal and moving background on the tour that made the experience even more special.

This tour was not what we expected. We only got to see a few pieces of graffiti and got to see a 10 minute break dancing routine and got to hear 30 minutes of history of some of the darker periods of Columbian history. We saw maybe 3 murals of graffiti and then it got dark. The food was a sample of the culture.

Esteban was fantastic. He shared a lot of information, was entertaining, and appears to know everyone in Comuna 13. He helped people find things in the neighborhood they were looking for and made sure everyone had a good time.

I went to the tour on May 13 as a solo traveller. Tbh I was going there a bit nervous by looking at the area. When I arrived I was a bit lost of the meeting point, but I messaged them on WhatsApp and they were very helpful. The whole experience was amazing, the history, the once in a life experience. I’d really recommend it.
