5.00An amazing tour! David was an exceptional guide, very attentive and with great historical knowledge. He showed us the most important places related to Escobar’s life in a respectful way and always taking care of our safety. We learned a lot about how Medellin has changed over time. David made us feel like family. Fully recommended!

5.00The city tour with David was one of the most real experiences of what this vibrant and cosmopolitan city is like, from commune 13 until finishing the tour in the small town of Paisa. We loved all the strategic stops made by our guide David Betancourt, the natural way he explained the history of commune 13, as well as all the information he provided us throughout the 8-hour tour. We definitely recommend Medellín City Services, through its representative Camilo and all its guides. Thank you for everything! Keep up the great service! Sincerely, Mayrobys and Andre.
Magnificent

5.00Was initially quite nervous to visit Medellin, with all it's history, but Manny's tour around Medellin and explaining it's history and Pablo life was inspiring, leaving me wanting more. Manny's passion for Medellin was infectious and just visiting this city I can see why. I would definitely recommend to do this tour with Manny and I can't wait to go back.
Amazing Tour, Awesome Tour Guide!

5.00This tour is amazing, very detailed and informative tour on the history of Pablo Escobar. Our tour guide Wilson enriched the experience even greater with his commentary, patience and enthusiasm! Wilson offered several times to take pictures and videos for us and I am glad he did as he captured some awesome footage. He also ensured we didn't miss out on trying several delicious snacks and was very generous. The tour takes you all around Medellin and is also a great way to see the city. The hotel pick-up and drop off in the guide's car was very convenient and made for an enjoyable day, highly recommended!
