Join us to show you this incredible place, and let us be your guides and tell you the stories from the experiences that we lived.
Cristian Benítez fue espectacular. Muy profesional. Nos guió en cada paso del recorrido compartiendo información valiosa e interioridades de la Comuna que solo un residente podría saber. Fue muy paciente y amable con nosotros y superó nuestras expectativas.
This was an exceptional tour. Juan spoke English in a perfect and very articulate way outlining the history of the area including the difficult times, the restoration efforts and current rebirth of area of Commune 13 with many murals and works of art, creative spaces and small businesses. He spoke movingly of his personal connection to the area. I found the while experience fun, inspiring, and unforgettable.
The tour was amazing! Cristian had interesting firsthand stories and places to show us as well as some complementary snacks/drinks on the way. He kept our full attention for 3+ hours. I'd definitely recommend doing the tour! 11 out of 10 for the Teacher!
