We had a great tour with Joe, our super-streetwise guide. Loads of intriguing factoids about Medellin’s often grim and violent past. Real under the bonnet stuff. Engaging and entertaining. Thanks mate!

We were so fortunate to have Daniel. What a great story teller. He was absolutely fantastic and incredibly knowledgable. Probably because he used to work at the museum with Pablo's brother Roberto. Had a great time and it was much more than just Pablo Escobar, learnt so much about the country, politics and everything in between. Thanks Daniel!
Could not have asked for a more engaging, fun and knowledgeable tour guide. I was fortunate to have the tour by myself. After two months of travelling David by far was my favourite tour guide and tour. Thanks David Mike
An amazing personal tour and really enjoyed it. Our local guide was out of this world. His depth of knowledge, friendly service and going out of his way to further educate us on medellin. Stopped off out of tour, bought us drinks to keep cool. Can not recommend this tour and the company enough.
So interesting. Not a glossed over tour, very factual & taught us a lot on a sensitive topic. When I was booking a Escobar tour, I had doubts on some but this was very good. Recommend.
Fabian was a great guide, very knowledgeable and friendly and his English is excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommended.
Fabian was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about everything. Highly recommended! Amazing tour by Fabian!
Fabio was a good guide told us a lot about Pablo and took us to extended version very good tour guide I definitely recommend only thing is make your party can seat comfortably on the ride there is a lot of driving but the tour itself was great
Awesome private tour! Our tour guide, Esteban, makes it fun and dynamic. He treats you like family! Take this tour if you want to learn the non-Hollywood version of the Escobar era!
El Cubano had so much knowledge, he had high energy. Highly recommend booking a tour with EL CUBANO! :D
We had a fantastic private half day Pablo tour with Carlos which we would highly recommend. Having been a police officer during Pablo’s rein, Carlos was able to give us some amazing insights into what life was like during those times. No topic was off limits with Carlos so we felt we really got an in depth insight into life in Colombia during those times. After having had a very disappointing ‘free’ group tour of comuna 13 through a different company the previous day this private tour with Carlos was so well worth it.
Tour guide was great! Had an awesome experience he was really knowledgeable on the history and facts of Pablo Escobar life. It was an hour long.
We did the Pablo Escobar tour and the communa 13 tour with Juan Carlos Villareal. We had a great day and enjoyed the tours very much. JC is very knowledgeable and friendly guy that knows the locals and has good objective background info for all you want to know!
Juan was a great guide who gave some interesting insights about Medellin, Colombian politics&history and ofc about pablo
A must do in Medellin. Erika was our tour guide and she did and amazing job explaining the life of Pablo Escobar. She answered all of our questions and helped us understand how different Colombia was back then. We were able to see the house Pablo died and see the grave where he was buried. We also saw the Black Widow’s (Griselda Blanco) grave. It was an incredible experience and a must do if you visit Medellin. I highly recommend Erika.
Juan was very knowledgeable about Escobar’s history and how it related to where we toured. And he was a great driver!
Juan was our guide from tripitmedellin. The tour was short and sweet, just what we needed. He also managed to book a coffee tour on the same day after the pablo escobar tour. Juan is the man!
It was awesome to know more details about Pablo Escobar's life and see more interesting places in Medellin
An amazing Pablo Escobar private tour with Nikolai who answered all of my questions and who shared all his knowledge around this topic. Totally recommended, because the TV series are not quite accurate. Learn here the truth about Escobar and his last days in Medellín.
The tour was great!! Extremely informative and enjoyable. Our guide nikolai was the best. He was the highlight of the tour and trip. He also gave great recommendations to eat and watch soccer/football. He was prompt with pick up abs helped us with our bags. Again, he was tremendous. Thanks again for such a great tour.
Overall a great tour. Nikolai was knowledgeable, spoke great English and humored the Narcos fans in the group with truths versus Hollywood. Lots of fun had.
Informative & well planned itinerary. Driver was very friendly & outgoing. We enjoyed the tour & the guide.
My favorite part was the Mountain View’s and learning about the history behind the structures that are there today and how Escobar was thoughtful in planning every aspect of his plan. Wilson is very knowledgeable and a great tour guide that loves to have fun!
This tour was great! Thankful for Wilson our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the life of Pablo Escobar. He kept us all laughing and had an adventure! - Rebecca Boland
If you are looking for a quick tour with facts about Pablo Escobar this is it. Our guide “Super” Juan was an amazing! He picked us up from the hotel, drove us to 2 different locations and have some great history and context. Also, he answered any questions that we had. Really enjoyed this tour!
Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!!!! The tour was organice. They give me a lot of information about the history of Medellín and the amazing transformation.
Wilson was absolutely amazing, explaining both in English and Spanish to my girlfriend. Was right on time at the hotel, called us by our first names which says a lot about a person. Gave us an insight of the type of person Pablo was. I booked with him because of his reviews and they did not disappoint. Thanks Wilson AKA Cuba, for the awesome tour...👍👍
Informative tour, Julio was a great host! Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to understand the recent history of Medellin
This was a great tour. I had my reservations that Escobar would be sensationalized. They did not do that. Mario, our tour guide, gave a very objective tour and view of Escobar. I learned much more than I thought I would. I would recommend this tour and Mario.
We really enjoyed this guided tour. Nikolai picked us up at our hotel and gave us an insightful and interesting grip through Pablo Escobars world. We really appriciated his insight and also his great english (helped us a lot). His balanced view of this challenging period for Medellin and the colombian people was presented for us in a respectful and interesting manner. We can highly recommend this trip!
excellent visit explain well Erica to recommend knows her subject very well the see visit done by private car not in a bus which is pleasant
This is a good tour. The guild was nice and very informative. Shocking when you find out all the details. Very nice tour.
Juan Carlos was well informed and spoke great English. The tour gave a great insight into a dark period of Medellins past. It didn't glorify Escobar and Juan presented a balanced view of the cities past.
Nicolaj did the tour with us and told us all the details which was really interesting to learn about the history. Can highly recommend it! He drove us to all the important places.
We had a great tour with Daniel who was very knowledgeable about Escobar and the history of Medellin. The tour was very informative and it was really interesting to hear things from his perspective growing up in the area. We also really loved how genuinely proud he was of his city and the transformation - and rightfully so, it's a beautiful place! We would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in the history of the city. We loved it so much we added on a couple extra hours with him to explore more of the city!!!
Erika is an amazing guide who speaks perfect English. She was able to capture the historical aspect of Pablo Escobar and the impact on the country. The family house has been raised and a new memorial for the thousands of victims has been resurrected in its place. Very moving monument that hopefully will honor these senseless deaths. The tour is a must if you want to understand Medellin and it’s people.
We had the good fortune of having Wilson as our tour guide for a very comprehensive tour into the life and death of Pablo Escobar. I knew very little about this cartel leader who made history with his cocaine empire. Wilson told the story of Escobar's life from childhood on, giving us the context of his family, his community and life in Medellin. Wilson drove us to the key locations of Escobar's life and to Comuna 13, where we checked out the graffiti and escalator. Wilson is very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He is totally bi-lingual and a very safe driver. I highly recommend you take this tour and ask for Wilson.
We just finished a five hour tour with our guide Wilson. I must say he is a great guide. It was a personal guided trip. He is so Columbian, happy personable and above all a walking encyclopedia of Pablo Escobar. It also included Comuna 13. We didn't know what to expect but it is well worth your time and money to hire this top notch company. There are dozens of Pablo Escbar tour outfits but these guys do a great job. I highly recommend them and ask for Wilson. You won't regret it.
Awesome tour with an amazing tour guide! Informative, entertaining, genuine and authentic tour of the Escobar era
The tour was exceptional! Our tour guide, Carlos, is an ex-cop from Medellín and did an amazing job of keep us engaged with his personal experiences and intimate knowledge of the real history of Escobar and the Medellin cartel. Highly recommend!
Juan was a great guide!! Show us everything about Pablo, we totally recomendo him. I went there with a friend and it was amazing.
I booked the tour the night before. Our time was limited so we wanted a quick tour. Sebastian was our tour guide. He was great. Very Informative. Would definitely recommend.
I can highly recommend the Tour with our Guide Juan Zea. He is a super friendly, nice Guy how knows alot about Medellin, Pablo and Columbia. We really enjoyed the tour with him and learned alot of interesting facts. We started our tour at 9am, he picked us up with his car and the tour was about 3 hours. Everything as discribed and better. Muchas Gracias!
We booked the tour to get a better understanding of the whole Pablo Escobar history of Medellin and what it has done to the country and it’s people. We were extremely happy to have had Juan Zea as our guide! Such a friendly guy with so much knowledge. He not only introduced us to the whole complex structures of the Escobar era but also the development of Medellin, Columbia and its people. Back then and today. We could ask him any question that came to our minds and not one of them was left without an answer. In this couple of hours he managed to get us an amazing insight of this country and this city. Thank you so much Juan for this experience.
The overall experience was short and sweet, but exactly what I asked for. I gained insights on the ground and my guide revealed unique insights into the Columbian drug trafficking underground. (Or above ground!) Narcos doesn’t tell the whole story says the tour, but I think they got the main jist! Was Pablo killed, or did he kill himself? Is Pablo still alive? Why did Pablo Escobar and his brother turn to drug dealing? Have you visited the neighborhood created by Pablo? Probably not. But why wasn’t the second neighborhood built? Visit the final stop in Pablo’s run from justice—the rooftop. Visit Pablo’s grave site. See this, and learn more as your guide dials you in on the truth about the notorious mafioso gangster. The tour raises more questions than it answers but it’s definitely worth the price of admission.
I had a private tour with Andrés Gómez, this guy is awesome!! Super attentive to his client needs, he will just do anything to ensure that you are happy and that your time is fulfilled with fun and what you want to do! He is extremely knowledgeable about Escobar’s life and about Medellin best places to go to enjoy a great day :) He knows his ways around the city perfectly and his English is also flawless. Perfect score for this one!
Wilson, our guide, was superb and made our tour that much more interesting as he was so knowledgeable! Wish we could hire him for the rest of our trip! The tour itself was informative and up to our expectations and more. As a non Spanish speaking family we would certainly highlight the importance of having a tour guide fluent in English.
This was an awesome tour! I’ve been a huge fan of the Netflix series “NARCOS” and Daniel (my guide) filled in the missing pieces of the show that made the tour even more informative. Note: this is a private tour so you get the guide’s full attention. The tour started at Pablo Escobar’s grave site, Daniel explained the family members buried with Pablo along with his trusted bodyguard “Lemon” —which Was intriguing to learn that since he stuck by Pablo till the end, the family pretty much kept him as part of the family even after death! We walked around the neighborhood that Pablo built during his political campaign era- incredible to see the impact he had in that community- There’s always two sides to a story and it was amazing to hear a Colombian’s side versus the Series/News etc. Definitely worth doing this tour and Daniel was just amazing, friendly and knew his stuff. 👍🏽
I don't have idea of what I can see during this tour. It was a wonderful surprise! We haven't only see some of the most popular Pablo's spot, we can actualize the story thanks to Steven, a super professional and friendly....friend! I suggest: stay one more day in medellin and... Disfrute!
Incredible tour, excellent tour guide, Juan Carlos is a perfect English speaker, nice person to be with, let you feel completely comfortable and enjoyable. Highly highly recommended. Tour will take you to Escobar house where he lived, the place he died . Very informative.
