A true eye opening experience - Esteban was a great tour guide. He offered alot of historical information about the indigenous people of the area, the afro Colombian relevance and the tragic past experienced by the residents of the community! Its so bright and beautiful, but every image “paints a story”. Love it!

Soo fun! - The tour was so fun and informative. Daniel was a great guide. The tour included transport to and from the neighborhood, super yummy ice cream popsicles, and many foto ops along the way. The owners of this company are so thoughtful and really go the extra mile to make sure we have a great time. So glad I came across these tours! <3 10/10 recommend
