The information was interesting. However it was overshadowed by our tour guide who was very unfriendly. He gave the factual information like he was reading a script. He really acted like he did not want to be there. His driving was atrocious. The car was very uncomfortable. As a tall person it was very difficult sitting in the back seat for such a long period of time. He offered no conversation as we drove through the unfamiliar parts of the city. I would have never booked this tour with someone who didn’t want to be there.

Wonderfull! Our guide Carlos was professionnel and relaxed and everything was taken care of. The car for the tour was excellent. You can get some nice pictures and souvenirs for a normal price.
Carlos was a great tour guide. Super informative and friendly. Knew all the places to go to and all the best places to take photographs. Not at all rushed and a pleasure to be with!
Our experience with City Vibes was exceptional. We were so impressed with their service that we booked 3 additional tours with them. Our guide Carlos was absolutely wonderful. As a Medellin local he is extremely knowledgeable about everything Medellín and Colombia. He takes immense pride in his company, his communication was always prompt and efficient. His suggestions and recommendations were always very much appreciated. I highly recommend City Vibes. Book and you will not be disappointed. We did a total of four tours with City Vibes and each one was perfect.
Everything went according to the tour description. Our guide, Carlos, was great. We learned so much about the history of Pablo Escobar in Medellin. Great communication the night before about the pick up. Loved being picked up at our hotel - very convenient. Very affordable for a private tour.
Tour 💯 Awesome, awesome!! And our tour guide Carlos was EXCEPTIONAL and super knowledgeable. Request Carlos when you've booked your tour you'll have no regrets.
Jaime was so knowledgeable. We had such a great time learning about Pablo Escobar the good and the bad. We went to his tomb and neighborhood and it was so surreal. Also went to where he was killed and a memorial for the victims of his attacks. We also rode a cable car which had great views of Medellin. Would highly recommend!
We did this tour last week, and everything was perfect, guide on time, nice guide Jaime, at every stop he told us a lot, took the time to answer the questions. Was very interesting tour, highly recommended. The cable ride was nice as well, we see a lot of Medellin.

My guide Jaime was amazing! Having been born and raised in Medellin; he brought an incredible amount of accurate information and personal experiences to the tour! You could tell he was very passionate about the history of Pablo Escobar!
Danny was courteous, funny, helpful, knowledgeable. He showed us what we needed to see in a lovely, pleasant way. Without his insight this tour would not have left an unforgettable experience.
Jaime was an excellent host and guide, we heard some background stories you rather not find on google:) everything worked out as planned - thank you very much!
Great tour and plenty of information. Very knowledgeable guide and comfortable vehicle. Private tour with all the details.
We had a really great day. Danny was an amazing, funny and very nice tour guide that had great knowledge about Colombia and its History.
Jaime proved to be an outstanding tour guide, demonstrating an impressive depth of knowledge about the history and events. Our conversation flowed effortlessly as we exchanged insights and filled in the gaps, making for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
If you book this Tour ask for Carlos. He’s bilingual and an excellent guide. Very attentive, knowledgeable and what a great time.
Andres was a great guide for us on the private Pablo Escobar-tour. Gave us very good information on the situation in Medellin and Colombia in Escobars days. Very interesting!
The tour was amazing! Danny was incredibly knowledgeable and made it an experience to remember forever! We learned so much about the history of Medellin and had a fabulous time!
We went for a private tour with Danny. He was such a nice guy, gave us very interesting information about Pablo Escobar, Medellin and it's history. He drove us to all the places which have a lot of history (prison, where he died, grave, etc.). He speaks english and spanish natively. It was really worth it and we can highly recommend him as a tour guide!
Great guide. Nice SUV transport. Saw Pablo’s history plus a lot more. Guide even drove me to a nice part of town and told me where to eat before my next appointment. Have only great things to say.
My friend and I had a great time with Carlos! He didn't rush the tour, gave lots of insights about Pablo Escobar. I am in a wheelchair and he made sure I was taken care of including food.
Carlos was absolutely amazing at giving us the tour of a lifetime. Everyone in our group was blown away by the professionalism and knowledge he had to offer. We went on the cable cars and a tour of the city. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny.
Johnny was great . He spoke English well, and was very informative. In addition, he made us feel safe .
We really enjoyed our private tour. Our tour guide was nice and very knowledgeable. We definitely recommend this tour.
Highly recommend, tour guide Juan was great and spoke perfect English (which we needed..We needed assistance with an electric wheelchair in and out of his car which was never problem. This tour also teaches you about the people of Medellin as well as the history. 5*
I had a great day! Tourguide Erika was amazing. She has incredable lots of informatie brought to you in an interessting way. And she is funny and entertaining. If you book thus Tour ask for Erika and you have a fantastic day
Juan was one of the best guides we have ever had, his knowledge and pride of the city as a whole was amazing- would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Medellin
Great tour. Andres did a great job. Andres gave my wife and I a tour around the city of Medellin. Beautiful.
Great tour, I learned a lot that day . The person that gave us the tour was very knowledgeable. I'll book another in the future for sure
Juan was a great guide! We loved hearing the history and visiting these spots. Juan was very knowledgeable and made our tour great. Thanks!
Tour was good and our guide Juan was outstanding. Tripadvisor asks me to say more on this review but there is nothing more to say.
Every single stop was amazing! The history of this brutal man/ cartel was documented very well. The roof top, grave site and neighborhood was an eerie experience knowing the history of Escobar. The tour guide did a excellent job and had extensive knowledge about this era. I would advise anyone interested in the Cocain king Escobar to take this tour! Cable car ride was very intriguing. Hats off to the decision makers for creatively providing Transpotation to the less fortunate. Comuna 13 was another creative idea to promote community development and allow local residence to Prosperous. The atmosphere up there is electric! So much history, culture, and art was amazing. The community was kind and embracing to us. Again, I commend the tour guide Juan for his vast knowledge, enthusiasms, and ability to keep you interactive & engaged the entire time.
Thanks to our tour guide Camilo we have visited and learned a lot about what has happened 30 years ago in medellin
We really liked the tour with carlos and would definitely recommend it. Was very interesting and fun
Our guide Andres was mega nice and authentic. Despite his young age of perhaps 32, he had a very profound knowledge of the history of Medillin and Colombia. He could answer all the questions superbly. He also gave us many impressions about the life and culture of Colombia off the beaten track
We had a great time visiting Medellín, with its past and present, remarkably captured by the explanations of Jaime, our guide, as well as the sites that cover Escobar's edifying saga. It was a wonderful and no-holds-barred tour of the city. Thank you very much again
My guide was perfect.He knows his subject and it is documented with historical videos to facilitate understanding.He is very polite and he expresses himself very well in English.I recommend this activity.
It was definitely a top getaway very nice and enthusiastic guide and have already recommended it to others. Thank you for the informative and beautiful day
Very delighted with the tour and with my guide Heider Patiño who was very friendly, professional and enthusiastic during the tour.
