Hello! My name is Ferney Caro and I am very happy been a tour guide here in Comuna 13. I grew up here, so that's why I know it really well, and I have been a tour guide for two years. I like to play the guitar, to read a lot about history, to watch the news and series, to focus on customer service and to research about the culture of this place. It is amazing to have the opportunity to give tours in my own city sharing our history with people from all around the world. We offer the most rewarding and amazing experience in the city, lately known as a lovely, harmonious and beautiful place to keep exploring and enjoying as well.
