El tour fue bastante interesante, además de conocer la historia tan dolorosa de esa región, se observa también la hermosa transformación física y social que ha tenido la comuna 13

Estaban's tour was very different to any I have been on in the past. His story was so personal and we learned a lot about life in his area now and in the very recent past. He had a fantastic understanding of the area and managed to convey his knowledge of some delicate information in a really digestible way.

Esteban NUNCA llego al punto pactado. Nos hizo perder el tiempo y tuvimos que hacer el tour por nuestra cuenta. NO LO RECOMIENDO!
