Book the Tour after Reading this Review - The tour was great!! We went at a relaxed pace, lots of great information, and an excellent guide! Lucho took us to many viewpoints without the crowds, gave us an opportunity for relaxation and shopping, and we did not just have one snack we had three!! Lucho was probably my favorite part of the tour. He is well known in the neighborhood, great personality, and captures the spirit and pride of being a Colombian. We were also late due to traffic and Lucho waited for us, communicated our meeting point, and made us feel so relaxed when we arrived. We are so happy with this experience and would recommend this tour to anyone!

Fantastic tour guide - Fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable about the area and the history. Made sure everyone was with the group at all times, and he added many personal anecdotes that made the experience very memorable. The tour as a whole was a good combination of history and sights with about twenty minutes to wander by ourselves.

Excellent and Personal Tour - This is a very authentic tour of the area with a true local of the neighborhood. He walks you through a variety of spots, giving general history and includes a lot of personal anecdotes that really add a lot of meaning to the stories told. Would very much recommend this tour for anyone looking for a small group experience in comuna 13!
