Summary:
Alex was unreal and a master storyteller. This was the greatest tour I’ve ever been on in my life. I can’t believe how much history Colombia had and how much they’ve overcome as a people. Alex’s storytelling and enthusiasm for his country was so powerful I felt as if I lived through it myself. I would recommend this tour to everyone I know and would only go with Alex.
