    This was a great, informative, eye-opening tour. Our tour guide, Cindy, was amazing. She was very knowledgeable, being a local resident in Comuna 13! She brought her perspective which made the tour even better. We learned a lot and were pleasantly surprised with additional adds (a breakdancing and rapping mini shows :)) The area is amazing too! Must see.

    I don’t like writing reviews as I have always had great experiences on many tours I have taken. I have learned in my past experiences that you can always contact your tour guide and let them know you are running late and some of them will tell you where they are at in case you are running late even if that means you pay for your own transportation on getting there. I was willing to do that. I contacted the agency as well as the tour guide Yason that was running late due to traffic. He sent me his location to the meeting point and after 15 mins his location shut off. I tried to contact him several times so I could figure out where he was an no response. Tried contacting the agency directly and no one answered. I decided to look at the itinerary to guide myself and I had a WAY BETTER EXPERIENCE on my own. Later in the day I received a voice memo from my tour guide letting me know I “should have been there on time” just like everyone else to get the full experience. To be honest I had a better experience on my own as I mentioned above without the tour guide. I didn’t bother to reply as I was having an amazing time, they can keep my money at this point. I will say I would of rather gone with the other agency’s that were there offering their services as there was more than 15 of them and seemed a lot more friendly and willing to help try to contact this agency even though they had nothing to do with the issue. Never again and hopefully this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

    We did the graffiti tour in Comuna 13 with Juan, who grew up there and lived through the violent times this place has seen. He is a really good guide, gave us lots of information about Comuna 13, how the farmers that got robbed of their lands arrived there, on the confict between the guerillas and why it was for them such a strategic place to control, the military operations led by the government, and insights on how it was to live there. He also showed us how people reinvented the place through art, and explained us the meaning of the different murals that you can see here. It was an amazing tour, I highly recommend it!
