Comuna 13 - Lucho did and excellent tour showing us not just the tourist side but the locals. The tour was one for the books in Colombia and I recommend doing the drone video by the gorilla. Our video came out fire definitely recommend booking with them when in Colombia.

Excellent Cultural Experience - Wonderful experience! The area, the people, and the views are so full of culture and history. You're really missing out if you don't give this a try. The hills are impressive but my family of 5, including 3 children under the age of 10 handled it without any problem. The learning of the troubles of 13 and how they were able to overcome all expressed through art was inspiring. Again, you're missing out if you don't book this tour... Oh, and definitely do the morning slot. The afternoons are warm.

A good experience, bring your walking feet! - Lucho was really wonderful. He lives in the neighborhood and knows many locals. We saw snacks were included, but had no idea there would be so many stops in local establishments with handmade treats. The homemade popsicles were especially a nice treat on a hot day. Lucho did a nice job speaking to the complexity of the neighborhood and the feelings of those who lived during violence and the response of the neighborhood to governments initiatives.
