Just right for us! - We did the 9:30 tour which was before things got really busy. Comuna 13 has a story, and our guide Luis/Lucho told it with understanding and humor. (we even ran into his mom!) We had plenty of time to take photos. Recommend

Comuna 13 graffiti tour a must see - Unique experience and a must if you are visiting Colombia. Beautiful art, hip hop culture, history, and the people are amazing. Bring cash as you will experience some of the local cuisine, art, and beverages. Our English guide was very informative and friendly. She knew all the history and symbolism of the graffiti and the area

Fun and educational! - Our family (with 13 and 11 year olds) had a wonderful time with our guide, Luis. We enjoyed the beautiful, vibrant sounds and colors of Comuna 13.
