It was really great, we had a very good time. Our guide was kind, very passionate, and knew exactly what to share with us. It was very interesting! Maybe we would have enjoyed a little more time in Comuna 13, not only on the main road. We felt that it wasn’t really necessary to have a guide just to walk along the main road for about 10 minutes. But that’s just a small detail, and we still really enjoyed the experience overall!

This was a great tour to get to know about Pablo Escobar life and the tours guide Jhon made the entire trip extremly joyful. Also I did asked to go extra places about Escobar life and he was very flexible with everything.

I went on the tour and the guide Johnny is a very excellent tour guide. Johnny is very knowleagble of the entire Escobar enterprise. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who come visits the country.
Camilo is a NEXT level guide! If you want true insight into events that occurred during the Escobar time period, from someone who lived through the time then this is your guide. He brings the expertise of a trained Anthropologist to the experience, and his English is excellent. I highly recommend booking this tour with him!
Camilo was an absolutely fantastic guide who showed us the most important places within the history of Pablo Escobar. He took time and care to dive into some otherwise complicated topics, and did not try to glorify the life of Pablo or the horrible effects he’s had on the country. We sincerely appreciated being guided by someone who lived during this era (en carne propia como decimos) and always asked if we had questions. Thanks so much Camilo & team!
The experience was very authentic and nice! Camilo was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about everything the history and more. Thank you!
Super nice tout and stories, camelo told us so many stories and details he had never heard of, 100% recommend the tour that we did
Very nice tour with Camilo ! You will learn a lot of stories about Medellin. He is a really good guide and know his subject very well. You can ask all the questions you want 👍🏻
If I could give this 6 stars I would. Camilo was super knowledgeable about the history and impact of Pablo Escobar and showed us locations all over Medellin. He also brough photos - of people, places and buildings, which gave context to where we were and the story. This was a fascinating tour, and I would strongly recommend any history buffs or anyone interested in the city of Medellín and Pablo Escobar to take this tour with Camilo.
Camilo was absolutely amazing! He is very knowledgeable, allows you as much time as you like to observe the different places on the tour, and he even stopped at a coffee farm for us to buy coffee. I highly recommend him and will absolutely take another tour with him. Thank you, Camilo!

The tour was an amazing experience, camilo is a great tour guide & the tour is very interesting! I highly recommend this tour!
Camilo is very knowledgeable about all of the local history about Pablo, his mansions and the surrounding areas. He was able to give the in depth history given that he is a lifelong native of medellin. I found myself continuously impressed by the level of detail he was able to provide. Cheers, Camilo for the tour!!
He was very prompt and informative. He was also very helpful w giving information I needed for the city. He also can arrange a nurse to come to your hotel for the covid test before your flight. And provides good transfer to airport. Highly recommend as a guide.
Absolutely amazing tour. Comilo has incredible access to La Catedral and he gave us an unforgettable tour. From the history to the escape route to facts I didn't realize about Pablo and the Medellin Cartel, he covered it all. He speaks perfect english and spanish, comfortable vehicle for driving around the city, and is always flexible if you're tired of walking or just want a beer :) Thanks again and I will definitely be telling my friends that visit Medellin about Comilo!
It was amazing experience! Camillo the guide was really extraordinary. He has not only a big knowledge about facts but also is a person who is native Medellin citizen which give unique memories from that times. Also he speak very good english so it was really good spent time. I really apreciated that private tour of Pablo Escobar, and really I can recomend it!
If I can put an extra star, I would! 🙏🏽 Our host, Camilo, is friendly, knowledgeable and honest. He took us around Medellin, and country side trips and views!!! Camilo made our first experience in Colombia a wonderful memory to remember! Muchas Gracias Camilo!
