A very interesting tour on the life of Pablo Escobar. Our guide, Camilo, provided an in depth perspective on the life of Escobar and the impact on the people of Medellin. As always you can’t change history but we can learn from it. Camilo lived in Medellin during Escobar’s lifetime so was able to personalise the experience for us.
A very informative tour on the history of Pablo Escobar. Our guide, Camilo, lived the experience of Escobar’s reign of terror in Medellin (and elsewhere) and was able to provide a very balanced perspective. Would absolutely recommend doing this tour with Camilo.
Excellent tour, very informative and I got a great sense of all things Pablo.
Carlos was an excellent driver. He picked me up from the airport right on time. The ride was very smooth despite traffic and he took the initiative to suggest places to eat and explain what’s going on in the city. It was an efficient and relaxed transportation. Highly recommend!
Although I haven't taken this specific Pablo Escobar/Comuna 13 tour, I've done other tours with Camon Tours and Camilo, and I can't recommend them enough. Every experience has been incredibly well organized, informative, and, most importantly, I always felt completely safe. Camilo is knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Medellín's history and culture in a respectful way. Based on my experiences with them, I wouldn't hesitate to book another tour. If you're considering this one, you're in great hands.
Excellent tour and great guide. The Pablo Escobar history was informative and balanced, while Comuna 13 was the highlight of the day. Learning about the neighborhood's transformation from a local perspective made the experience much more meaningful. Well organized, engaging, and highly recommended for anyone visiting Medellín. Thank you Joshua
Our first time in Medellin. We were two couples. We booked a private tour of Pablo Escobar. Our guide was Joshua and he was amazing. Very informative but interesting. He had great energy. It was the best tour we took while in Colombia. Highly recommend and ask for Joshua!
Camilo made this tour THE PERFECT TOUR. He made sure to explain every relevant detail at every turn and made us feel super safe. He explained everything, not only from a historical perspective, but also cultural. I would recommend you ask for Camilo if you want a knowledgeable, kind, fun tour guide. This happened on our last day, had we had Camilo before, we would have requested other tours with him. Great experience, 100% recommend.
Joshua was very knowledgeable and answered questions about the tour as well as other questions we asked about Columbia. He was attentive to the pace that we needed to go at and set the pace based on that. Great tour guide thanks Josh
Fantástico tour real history ask for the legend Camilo he imos the real history.
Very nice experience! Camilo is very nice . Would do it again!
Taking a tour about Pablo Escobar in Medellín with Camilo as a guid was one of the most eye-opening and memorable experiences I’ve ever had. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, providing a balanced perspective—not glorifying Escobar, but instead explaining the true impact he had on Colombia, especially the people of Medellín. We visited several key locations tied to his life, and each stop came with powerful stories that really put history into context. What stood out the most was how the tour emphasized the resilience of the city and how far it has come since those difficult times. The guide was engaging, spoke clearly, and welcomed questions, making the experience feel interactive and personal rather than just informational. You could tell they were passionate about educating visitors and honoring the truth. If you’re visiting Medellín and want to understand its history beyond the surface, this tour is absolutely worth it. It’s not just about Escobar—it’s about the transformation of a city and its people.
Camilo! Thank you so much for the Escobar tour. Your knowledge of what happened and how his story remains a part of Colombia's history truly means a lot. I can't wait for our next tour with you this week.
Camilo was an excellent tour guide. He has a lot of history and knowledge of the city especially of Communa 13. He took great care of me on the tour ensuring my needs were met. I highly recommend him.
An absolutely incredible experience with Camilo to discover Comuna 13. Much more than just a simple visit, this tour allowed us to truly understand the history, transformation, and unique energy of this neighborhood in Medellín. Camilo is passionate and extremely warm. You can feel that he deeply loves sharing the history of his city, and that makes the experience even more special. Between the anecdotes, the explanations about the evolution of Comuna 13, the urban art, and the local atmosphere, every moment was fantastic. The tour was perfect. We never felt like mere tourists, but rather like guests discovering a place rich in history with someone who truly lives it. Thank you again to Camilo for this memorable experience, which will clearly remain one of the best memories of our stay in Colombia. I recommend this tour 100% to anyone passing through Medellín, especially with Camilo!
I had an amazing experience on the city tour of Medellin. Camilo our guide was exceptional: friendly, attentive, always available to help us and make us feel comfortable. More than a guide, he felt like part of the family. I learned a lot and had a great time. Excellent work, super recommended! Ask for Camillo.
