Esteban made it more than a tour. I'm not much of a walker but the tour was EXPERIENCE to remember.
It was a very enjoyable and enlightened tour. Culture at it's best. The food was also an added bonus! Would definitely recommend anyone who doesn't want just the basic experience but the actual history of communa 13!.

Great birthday trip
The experience was very educational and authentic. It shows the experience of a local rather than a tourist which was exactly what I needed. Esteban is a very knowledgeable young man with a bright future ahead. Amazing tour

Fantastic Colombian Tour with Mateo
Mateo was a fantastic tour guide! The tour was incredibly informative, and he did a great job sharing the history of Colombia while also adding his own personal experiences and insights when we asked questions. The local food stops were a highlight, and we loved being able to pick up some souvenirs to take home along the way. Highly recommend this tour!
