One of the best tours I've been on. The guide was very knowledgeable and articulate. Being a private tour, you can spend as much or as little time as you want at certain places. Highly recommended

I really enjoyed the tour especially because I saw from another perspective the history that hides the commune. I think it is great that the agency has everything under control, punctuality, safety, knowledge and comfort... so you can enjoy the tour without more worries than having fun. I get the best experience in Medellin.

Initially I booked with Way cool tours because I read an article about them regarding their animal foundation. I'm also an animal lover and have dogs of my own that I adore. The tour guide Alex was on point! Perfect native English and Spanish, well versed, intelligent, and entertaining. I'm glad I booked with them and not the desperate illegal guides that flood the bottom entrance harrasing people for a cheap tour. Way cool does this with a true passion, it reflects in the tour. The coloful comune 13 was a lot of fun, I felt protected since my guide Alex is brawny and knows everybody. They have a lot of respect for him there. The day was perfect, it rained after the tour, so I'm glad I chose the morning tour. I was so elated with this company that I booked a Guatape tour the next day with them. Again, I had a wonderful time with these guys in both places. I was here for a wedding so I couldn't book more tours with them, but I will be back soon and will definitely hire their services again. Thanks guys, and thank you for all you do for our furry friends! Jen T.

Service was outstanding! I felt very comfortable from the booking process. The guide arrived very on time something rare in Colombia and was very kind to my children especially with my son Autista, was extremely passive even though in the middle of the tour had a crisis. I am so grateful because not only was it a tour but we felt like traveling with a friend. Commune 13 is spectacular is the second time I visit and I just wanted to go with the kids and take good pictures as before I took a free tour with another agency and it was a disaster! I recommend Way Cool Tours in closed eyes! Thanks again for all Angie from London.

Learn the story behind commune 13 in Medellin safely and truthfully, I recommend this private tour with clean and comfortable transportation. What better way to start the tour? A mouth-opener of what I was going to live (applause) is nice to travel like this. Congratulations.
