This is private tour, thus the best chance to take two of the most exciting tours in Medellin, for those travelers who have limited time: First, we focus on discussing different points of view around the country and the problems related to drug trafficking. Our purpose is the understanding of such scourge and its impact in our country, as well as the process the city has gone through in order to become an innovative and safer city. We do not glorify Pablo nor treat him as a hero, we simply seek to understand the political, social and economic context of that time.
Secondly,we visit comuna 13, the sample of strength and resilience of Medellin inhabitants. The city hall has implemented certain programs that have significantly improved living standards. You will learn about the history of our city, with its positive and negative aspects, you will discover the transformation of Medellín.

5.00Our tour was outstanding. Juan took my wife and I all over Medellin. He gave us a very thorough Pablo Escobar tour and knew all the ins and outs of Comuna 13. He was a top notch tour guide. I highly recommend the tour!

5.00We had the greatest tour experience with Daniel as our guide. It felt like we really got to see the heart of Medellín and a glimpse into its past as well as share in its hopes and dreams of the future. I haven't enjoyed a tour as much as this one since I first started taking them. It's definitely an experience you can't get just by visiting alone to Comuna 13 and Medellin's memorial.
Amazing Experience!!!

5.00Cesar was an exceptional guide on all levels - punctual, fluent English, generous with his time and extremely knowledgeable. We booked this tour based on previous good reviews and were beyond delighted. Cesar has extensive knowledge of Medellin and its evolution from the terror of the 1980's to its reinvention through education and art today. He has the ear of the Medellin locals and is actively involved in the rejunivation of the city, particularly with its youth. This is not a tour to be missed with an excellent guide to get beneath the superficial and understand the real Medellin.
