Amazing

Cristen_D, Feb 2026

I had an incredible tour with Andres — he was knowledgeable, engaging, and did an amazing job explaining the history in a way that was both informative and respectful. I learned so much about Pablo Escobar and the real impact of the events that shaped the city. The tour itself was surreal — visiting the actual sites and homes where these infamous moments took place made the history feel very real. Andres answered every question thoroughly and made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a deeper, more authentic understanding of the history.

A Thoughtful and Eye-Opening Pablo Escobar Tour

Mindy_A, Jan 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We were initially on the fence about doing a Pablo Escobar tour because we didn't want to support the past drug culture. However, this tour was anything but. It was an explanation of the transformation from the most horrible time in Medellin history to the vibrant community it is today. Our guide John was incredibly informative and knowledgeable. You could sense his pride in his country and he focused on the history of Medellin, the impact of the drug trade/and Escobar, and how far the country has come. One of our favorite stops was the memorial to the more than 40,000 victims. Our guide also accommodated our every need including a coffee stop and timely airport drop off. We would 100% recommend this tour (and John!).

The Perfect Guide

Jack_B, Oct 2025

We had such a wonderful experience with Camillo. He spoke very good. English, was very informative, and he had lived through much of what he relayed to us. Having someone who has experienced in his own life, the trauma, fear, and chaos of Medellín as well as the amazing turnaround really brought the entire Tour experience to life. what a great experience and what a pleasure to spend time with this historic character. We highly recommend him and cannot imagine a better experience than the one we had.
