Street art/history tour: Comuna 13 - I was looking for an all-inclusive tour to see as much as possible of Commune 13, and this tour seemed to have all aspects and compared to other similar tours was 1/4 of the price. It is a great value. However, I chose this tour because it said that the maximum amount of people was going to be 10, and we had 18 people. It can be a bit annoying during a walking tour to have that many people to keep track of. Because of the amount of people we had to stop/wait more times than I would have preferred. Other than that, it was great. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had a spicy and authentic personality. She knew a great amount about all the murals and the history of this part of the city. Included in the tour was a popsicle, beer, and she made sure we got to see multiple break dancing groups. I would certainly recommend this tour to others! (It is a long day and lots of hills/stairs. Wear comfortable shoes)
