Our Pablo Escobar tour focuses on discussing different points of view around Pablo and the problems related to drug trafficking. Our purpose is to discuss about this scourge and its impact in our country and the process Medellín has gone through in order to become a more developed and safer city. For many years the city and its people have been stigmatized by violence and drug trafficking, we intend to explain why the country has had armed actors and people like Pablo Escobar, who are finally the reflection of many factors. We will get to know the causes of this negative blip in the history of our country, the effect this has brought to our society and Medellin’s urban and social transformation. Over 46 thousand deaths attributed to the war related to drug lords and cartels. We do not glorify him, we seek to understand the whole context of the time.

What are people saying about Medellín

Abbey_M, Aug 2026

Unique experience with history and local culture

Fantastic tour with Daniel. One of the highlights of our trip to Medellin. Learned so much about the history of Colombia and Comuna 13. Be prepared for a good amount of walking, including at least one steep hill. The cable car ride and trip to the fruit market were added bonus. I would highly recommend this to anyone traveling to Medellin!

Downtown Medellin, Pueblito Paisa, and Comuna 13 Private Tour

Anthony_L, Jul 2026

Edison brought our tour to life!

You cannot appreciate Medellin if you don’t go downtown or to Comuna 13. Edison was hands down one of the best tour guides we had all week. Down to earth, spoke English, and was so knowledgeable about any questions we asked. I cannot recommend him enough. Wear comfy shoes because you will WALK! But it was well worth it.

100% Recommend

We absolutely adored this tour. My partner and I are pretty knowledgeable about coffee and I have been on multiple coffee tours; but we both learned something and appreciated the expertise. Coffee was phenomenal, lunch was delicious, and the family was so welcoming.

Yuly was an amazing tour...

Yuly was an amazing tour guide! She knew so much about the history and our main goal was to learn about the history that created such a vibrant culture! She made recommended stops for cultural snacks and for us to purchase goodies or watch the amazing street performers. She also is an INCREDIBLE driver and we felt 100% safe the entire time.

Pablo Escobar in Medellin : The Places That Tell Your Story

Nicola_L, May 2026

Insightful 4 hours in Medellin

A balanced insight into the life and death of Pablo Escobar and the impact he had at the time. This tour does not glorify the cocaine empire but sheds light on the devastation it causes. A real educational eye opener. The museum at the end of the tour was interesting too. I'd recommend the tour plus museum to gain a better understanding of the prolific drug lord. My guides Juan and Ana were very passionate about this complex topic.

Medellin's Most Powerful Waterfall | Sky Hammocks, Zipline & More

Anastasia_S, Apr 2026

Amazing experience

booked a private full-day tour and it turned out to be such a special, personal experience. My guide picked me up right from my hotel in the morning and dropped me off there at the end of the day, which made everything feel effortless and comfortable from start to finish. We went hiking, visited a stunning waterfall where I could swim, tried some local food, and experienced an incredible zipline, including relaxing in a hammock suspended high above the scenery. It all felt so unique and thoughtfully planned. The entire day flowed perfectly. The car was very comfortable, the driving was smooth, and I always felt safe. My guide was genuinely kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable, not just sharing information, but really making sure I was enjoying every moment. It didn’t feel like a typical tour at all, it felt like a truly personal experience. I left with amazing memories and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for something meaningful and unforgettable.

Best in Colombia

My favorite trip in Colombia. Worth every penny 5x over. Jose was an attentive and great guide. His English is also perfect. Trip covers everything: hotel pickup, ATV riding, waterfall and swimming, fishing your own lunch, and transport back to the hotel. Couldn’t recommend it more.

City Tour from Medellín

Joshua was a FANTASTIC guide!

I booked this tour with my partner and we could not have had a better experience. Our tour guide was Joshua and he was a 12/10 tour guide. He picked us up right at the hostel we were staying at - he was informative, professional and very easy-going. He was great with letting us go at our own pace and we spent much of our tour time exploring the “Comuna 13” and the Downtown area. We never made it to the cable cars which was our own decision because we wanted to spend more time at the first two destinations and Joshua was very accommodating. “Comuna 13” was a bustling favela type neighborhood that had plenty of cool things to check out: Bars/Restaurants, Street Food, Street Graffiti, Soccer Field and Joshua gave some insight to the history of the neighborhood as it was “the most dangerous” neighborhood back in the ‘80’s. From there we went to the downtown area where we walked around and Joshua explained some of the more prominent buildings in the downtown area and we did some shopping with the local vendors. He also took us to the “Nacional Palacio” which was their version of a mall but it was a beautiful building with an art museum on the rooftop floor which i would highly recommend checking out. Joshua was also EXTREMELY helpful with helping us haggle on prices in the downtown area as me and my partner were not the best at speaking Spanish. All in all - we had a great time and cannot thank Joshua enough for a great day exploring the city of Medellín!

City Tour Medellin

Kamini_G, Feb 2026

First timer in Colombia with senior

I decided on the 4 hour Medellin city tour because my Father is elderly and we did not want to do anything too strenuous. This was such a perfect way to see and learn about Colombia, its history, and people. Oscar took his time to explain everything to us from the moment he picked us up at our AirBnb. He made us feel extremely comfortable and my Father was especially happy to hear he spoke excellent English. Highly recommend to get a taste (literally tasted local fruits!!) of the local scenes and history of Medellin. Tip - book on a Sunday morning to avoid crowds!

A nice way to get to know more of Medellin.

Mateo was our friendly and courteous driver who came to pick us up at our hotel right on time. He was very knowledgeable about the different places he took us, in a very nice and comfortable car. He also took tons of pictures in a creative way. I surely would recommend this tour to anyone that wants to know Medellin in a pleasant way.

Perfect tour!

Perfect tour! A comfortable, air-conditioned car picked us up right from the hotel and brought us back afterward. Our guide Julio was incredibly friendly and shared lots of interesting information throughout the trip. I highly recommend this tour — I really loved it! I actually booked two tours with Tourguides Medellín, and I enjoyed both of them very much!
