We had an absolutely incredible tour with Maria. I can't describe how helpful, kind and fun she was. She ran around and went above and beyond to ensure we all had a great experience. She smoothly navigated us through public transport and took us to all the amazing spots, all while explaining the rich history and cultural context to everything. I would highly recommend taking this tour with Maria. She is a delight!! :)

We had a brilliant time doing the Comuna 13 tour this week. Our guide was really informative and friendly. You first go up the cable car before later heading to the area. The dancing show was incredible, and the graffiti really is amazing to see. The views from up there are next to none! Our guide sent us a list of recommendations of places to eat and we ended up having the best meal of the trip from this list! Don’t hesitate to book.
