Pablo Escobar in Medellin : The Places That Tell Your Story

Nicholas_L, Apr 2026

The Transformation of Medellin

This Pablo Escobar tour was amazing, I cannot recommend it enough. Juan was excellent and really brought a holistic understanding of the impact of the events of that time. It's so important to know the history and how Medillin is today the beautiful (peaceful) place it is now, contrasted against its difficult past. Jorge, our driver was solid and safe. 5 out 5.

Joshua_S, Mar 2026

Must do excursion while in Medellin!

I highly recommend this amazing excursion and requesting Daniel as your tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable. I don't think there was one question he wasn't able to answer the entire day. The fruit was tasty, the history was intriguing and interesting, and we always felt safe. The cable car ride was a little scary but the views were insane. Make sure you ask to try one of the local drinks, coffee and lemonade. Seems weird but it was actually good and refreshing!

Private Tour to Guatapé and The Rock of El Peñol from Medellín!

Amanda_F, Mar 2026

Amazing experience

What a great and thorough experience we had with our tour guide, Juan Carlos! The drive there included a lot of history and facts about Columbia, that we did not know. We stopped for some yummy typical Colombian treats on the way and got early to El Peñon, which allowed us ample time to explore without the crowds. Guatapé was a charming town with beautiful art work all over the buildings and great food. Once again, we beat the crowds and enjoyed ourselves very much. We ended the trip stopping for lunch at some sort of petting zoo. That was unique and fun for the kids! We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have children!

City Tour from Medellín

bobby_p, Feb 2026

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!

Fun and adventurous

I had an amazing time on this excursion! It was a lot of fun, and while a bit challenging, it made the experience even more rewarding. I’d say you should be in reasonably good shape to fully enjoy it. Our guide Carlos was fantastic—very attentive and patient, making sure we had enough breaks and time to take pictures. Highly recommend!

Medellin City Private Tour

Katie_B, Dec 2025

2nd time in Colombia, did not disappoint

This was our second time visiting Medellín. On our first trip, we did a private tour of Comuna 13, a cable car ride, and learned about Pablo Escobar. This tour was different and excellent because we explored another cable line and visited areas we hadn’t seen before. Our guide, Andres, was fantastic. His English is very good, his car was comfortable, and he made us feel at ease while exploring new areas of the city. At the end of the tour, he also provided great restaurant recommendations when I asked. We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this tour and Andres as a guide.

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.

Awesome E-bike Tour with Michael

What a great experience! We had so much fun and Michael was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job of alerting people in our upcoming path that we would be biking that way. We felt safe the entire time and got to see the real Medellín, not just the fancy areas. The electric bikes were great for going up the mountain. The snack included was fantastic! Highly recommend Michael

A Top-Notch Day With A Great Guide!

This is a great full day experience, and Julio is a fantastic guide. Honestly would have expected it to cost twice as much - you definitely get a well-filled day of activities and touring. Well suited for kids - we brought our 8 and 10 year olds. Do bring shoes that can get muddy for the coffee plantation!
