Awesome tour! - Great experience with tons of photo ops. We took the train, the cable car, and a local bus. Our guide Walter took us through all the best parts of Comuna 13, including a bar at the top of the hill. He's also muy comico. We took the side streets on the way down and got to see the locals outside of the touristy areas.

Excellent. - Lots of walking but our guide Walter was amazing and connected to most persons in Comuna 13. Apart from the famous spots, we were also given an authentic experience on descent.

Comuna 13 with an Insider - By all means take the tour of Comuna 13, but if you can, take it with Camilo. As a travel writer I have been on scores of tours worldwide and his is easily in the top 10%. Camilo’s roots in the community are evident at every step. The area and its story are fascinating and Camilo brings it alive, with an objective account of the politics and an easy familiarity with the back alleys and staircase shortcuts, as well as various merchants, food vendors and bar owners. Lots of climbing so bring your boots. It can also get super crowded. If you have mobility issues, this may be very challenging. Comuna 13 has in a short time become a destination and parts of it are as tacky as anything I’ve seen in Pisa, Petra or the Egyptian ruins. But put your blinders on because this unique district has as much to offer as any of those treasures, and I don’t say that lightly.

One, great tour. - Our guide, Alejandra was excellent. Very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. She was very patient and well organized. Clearly she was very proud of the country. She made us feel comfortable and was able to get the group to get to know each other. I was impressed that she was able to remember everyones name. She was great.

Vibrant experience with amazing guide Annie! - We really enjoyed this tour! The meeting location and pictures received before made it super easy. Our group size of 8 was perfect (6 in our family and 2 other adults). We not only enjoyed the graffiti tour itself but the transportation to get there — metro, cable car, bus. Our kids were thrilled! And then the tour — we loved learning the history, walking the streets, getting a feel for the city. Be sure you can handle walking up several steps and hills! Wear good walking shoes and travel light! We ate local food and snacks, stopped for breaks. And then there was Annie. She’s amazing! So patient and kind and so knowledgeable. My personal favorite was how she really looked out for our kids especially when things got crowded. And then she made sure we all got into our Ubers safely at the end. She’s a gem and if you get her you will not be disappointed!! Thank you!!
