GRAFFITI tour in Colombia 🇨🇴 Very nice views that you NEED TO SEE. Our tour guide was Royhel he was amazing. Waited for everyone to arrive. Spoke Englush very well He allowed for questions. Pictures and purchases. We ate tasty snacks and watched a few shows. Definitely recommend.
I had so much fun and learned so much! The views were great, the free snacks were awesome and hector was an amazing guide!
Hector was great! His English was soooo good , he was patient kind and cool ! I really enjoyed this tour !
Great experience. They take care of the entire experience/ process. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a visit to Communa 13.
Exploring Comuna 13’s history and sampling the local street food was an unforgettable experience. This tour is absolutely worth every penny. Our guide, Juan, was exceptional- knowledgeable, engaging, and made the whole experience come alive.
Quan was our guide. He was exceptionally great, very knowledgeable about the history of comuna 13 and Columbia on a whole. The meeting point is NOT as what was stated. Firstly the paint of the Virgin is wearing a blue scarf no green. Secondly, the location of the meeting point is not accurate. Use Estacion Pablo metro station calle 10 to find meeting point. Calle 10 #49 which was provided IS NOT ACURATE.
I booked this tour with almost no expectations, and it completely surprised me. Adrian has a way of turning every stop into something memorable. His enthusiasm is contagious, and it’s obvious he puts his heart into every tour.
First thing, come prepared to do a lot of walking and make sure your shoes is comfortable. Our guide was Royhel and he was a trooper. He spoke English really well and even help us translate when buying from vendors. The dancers were awesome and learning about the history of the old town was great. Big thank you Royhel as he stayed with us until our Uber arrived at the end of the tour, while we gave him a lesson in Jamaican Patois.. (Patwa). He asked for the lesson by way and even had phrases ready for is to translate in language. It was a fun filled day
This experience was certainly the highlight of my fiancés birthday trip!! We had such an incredible time learning about the development and history of commune 13. Adrian was theeeeeee absolute besttttt tour guide!! He was so knowledgeable and funny all at once. Well worth the cost!!
We had a really nice tour from Royhel, we did a lot and saw a lot of the tour. It's definitely worth what you pay for it, it's really not expensive for what you get in return. Royhel explains everything well, you can tell by him that he really likes it and is active to guide tour. He's offering you a fun adventure. Thank you 🙏🏼👌🏼
