Explosive tour, Highly recommended! - This was hands down the highlight of my stay in Medellin! My guide Alex was an amazing figure who was directly affected by the cartels back in the days. His energy while giving the tour is wild...It felt like a movie and I was part of it! I would highly recommend Alex and his tour company Way Cool Tours for a way cool experience!
