Superrrrrrrrrrrr - If you plan to visit Communa 13 do so with Kevin. The tour can be in English or Spanish. Kevin is here to tell you the story of his neighborhood with authenticity, humor and kindness. During this tour you will learn more about the neighborhood, the art that is present there, the shops and specialties of this place.
Thanks again.

BEST TOUR IN THE COMMUNE! - Vero is a bright, super friendly person with a light that infects everyone who has the opportunity to talk to her. He always answered all our doubts. The atmosphere that generated in the group was that of a friendship of years, I would recommend it 100% for a tour. We had the opportunity to meet their mom and her partner and I could say the same about them. What an awesome energy!

Great experience with Kevin! - We got lucky with my friend and got Kevin all to ourselves. It was really nice to hear the history of the place from a local. We got to ask a lot of questions and Kevin also took us to some places where the other tourists didn’t go to. He showed us an art gallery + music studio, where he played some songs made by his friends/locals in the community. And a cool little coffee place where we got to sample quality coffee, hot chocolate and chocolate. We also got to taste empanadas made by Kevins aunt, which were really tasty. It was a really great experience ☺️

Worth it! - Love this tour! Kevin is an excellent guide and the Comuna 13 is definitely worth experiencing with a local. I appreciate the effort that Kevin does in convey the history and the art role in the neighborhood transformation. The tour also included a small but perfect coffee and chocolate tasting in one of the cute secret gems there. 100% recommended.

Fantastic Tour and fantastic guide ! - This was my second time doing this tour with Kevin. The first time was in 2022, and since I was coming back to Columbia in 2026 I wanted my boyfriend to get the experience of enjoying this tour as well!
Kevin is an amazing tour guide… his stories are so fascinating and you could really tell he has a passion for teaching about his community! He is one of the original tour guides in Communa 13 before it became such a popular excursion. It’s amazing that he’s one of the people that made this community into what it is today!
