Andrea was great fun to be with,
We went next to theccathedral, where some street dancers were dancing, which we liked a lot, then to a famous rooftop and then to a recomended gourmet restaurant, Ana. The ambient was beautifully decorated, with live music, and not too crowded. The food was gourmet, but not well balanced and overcomplicated. It was not of our taste.

Great tour
Jhoan was a great guide for Comuna 13. He grew up in the Comuna and is very knowledgeable about it's history and Columbia's history in general. This kind of tour is essential for a good experience of this area as you will not learn the meaning behind any of the graffiti and why it is so important if you do it on your own or as part of a big group. We couldn't recommend Jhoan highly enough.

Great insights into comuna 13
The first meeting with Jhoan was very pleasant. Jhoan knows Medellin like the back of his hand. He has a lot to say about culture, society, history and politics. I really enjoyed the tour of comuna 13 with him. It was a relaxed ride with a cable car (upfront of comuna 13 tour) and a walk. Jhoan was able to take care about some extra wishes where to go, to eat, to see....It was a great day.

Great overview of the historic center
Andrea was very flexible in coordinating our tour. We got a great overview of the city, saw sloths up close and learned some history. Really nice way to get a flavor of Cartagena.

Off the Beaten Path in C13
We were so grateful to have Jhoan show us around Communa 13. He did a great job of explaining how C13 came to be, the violent past and the present. We loved the stories behind the street murals and were thankful to go beyond the tourist zone. Highly recommend Jhoan for any tour.

We had a great morning with Wayra. She was super flexible (necessary with 2 kids along) and it was a lovely, relaxed walking tour of the highlights of Bogota. Wayra shared a lot of great insight and we feel like we covered a lot of ground in our time together.
