5.00I recently took a Pablo Escobar tour, and it was a very eye-opening experience. The guide shared a lot of history about Medellín and how the city has transformed over the years. It wasn’t just about Escobar himself, but also about the impact his actions had on the people and how the community has worked hard to move forward. Definitely a tour that makes you reflect and see the city from a deeper perspective.
What an excellent tour

5.00Mauricio was our tour guide and he did such a great job! The tour hit all of the spots in 4-5 hours! We had time to stop and get local snacks, fresh fruit pops and plenty of water! Mauricio was so informative of all things in Medellin- from Pablo to Comuna 13, he shared personal stories of his time living through the most dangerous time in this city! Highly recommend this tour and if you can request Mauricio ….he was the best!!!
Best experience ever 🙏🏻

5.00A very interesting tour, which provided us with more knowledge about Pablo Escobar’s life and impact in Medellin and Colombia as a whole. Then we visited the commune 13 with its cable car built as a means of transportation for the population, its vibrant tourist vibe and beautiful walls, in street art. Our guide Mauricio was great. And I believe the Tour has been private, it has brought us more comfort.
A great day, a great tour, and a great guide

5.00We had an amazing day with Mauricio. As academic criminologists, we were very interested in the experiences of Colombians during the Escobar years, not the glorified information you may receive elsewhere in Medellin. Mauricio did not disappoint in this regard! From the memorial to Pablo's victims at the Monaco house to the Barrio, plus other illuminating stops, we learned so much! And to top the tour off with the most fascinating and vibrant (not to mention historical and also very informative) Comuna 13, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Muchas gracias, Mauricio!
Booking this tour is a must!!!

5.00Mauricio was truly a Colombian gem! He was super informative, easy going and gave great insight into the history of Pablo Escobar. He ensured we had snacks and drinks in between sights. He also made sure we had the best views of Medellin. He answered all of our questions with great enthusiasm and constantly welcomed additional questions. I highly recommend this private tour. In my travel experience, this has been one of the best tours! Thank you, Mauricio!! You were the best!
