Juan was a fantastic guide who had lived in the area and was able to give us real insight into what life used to be like in Comuna 13. Now it is a really vibrant place full of amazing graffiti and artwork and was a real pleasure to look round. We are also treated to a great break dancing display by group of young lads and girls. This tour has been a real highlights of our visit to Medellin made possible by a great English speaking guide who was a real pleasure to spend a few hours with. This also represented fantastic value for money. Thank you, Juan
