Camilo was the best guide So informative and guided us on every part of the trip
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Camilo was an exceptional tour host from start to finish He struck the perfect balance between informative and engaging—never rushed, always open to questions, and genuinely passionate about what he does. You can tell he cares about giving you a meaningful experience, not just a checklist tour. The tour felt very personalized, safe, and well-organized throughout. Camilo also shared great recommendations for food, spots to visit, and local culture beyond the tour itself. Highly recommend booking with him if you want a deeper, more authentic understanding of Medellín.

I did the Pablo Escobar and Comuna 13 tour today, and my guide Camilo was absolutely outstanding. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about Medellín’s history and transformation. What impressed me even more was his personality: he’s kind, thoughtful, considerate, and always made sure I felt comfortable and taken care of throughout the experience. His explanations were honest and clear, and he shared the story of Medellín with real respect and heart. Whatever you choose to do in Medellín, if you can do it with Camilo, you’ll have an unforgettable experience.
I recently visited Pablo Escobar’s Museum and Comuna 13 with one of the best tour guides in Colombia — Camilo from Camantours Medellín. He speaks excellent English and Spanish, and he took the time to answer all my questions while sharing the real history and culture of Medellín. Camilo also knows the best local spots for food, shopping, and stunning views. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide or driver in Medellín, I highly recommend reaching out to him.
We took a private Pablo Escobar and Comuna 13 tour, and it was an incredible experience. Joshua was a fantastic guide—very courteous, patient, and knowledgeable. He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire tour. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services based on our experience.
Camilo was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and understanding. He seemed to know lots of people in the community on the tour also haha. Highly recommend!
This trip was unbelievable and I highly recommend anyone to do it with Camilo. He is the best tour guide in Medellin & very knowledgeable
Had a great time on the Pablo Escobar tour in Medellín with Camilo as my guide. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the personalized experience and deep insights. Camilo was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour engaging. Loved it with Camilo, felt like I was living the Escobar life. A bit pricey, but definitely a memorable and worthwhile experience—could be cheaper though!
Very informative on time and well spoken. Highly recommend Camilo to take you around. Our first day in Medellin was made memorable
Camilo was an incredible guide – charismatic, knowledgeable, and an amazing storyteller. What made the experience truly special was his personal connection to both Medellín and the Pablo Escobar story, which added a unique and meaningful layer to the tour. He took us around in his comfortable van, which made it easy to explore multiple locations without feeling rushed. I really appreciated the balance of the tour – from historically significant Escobar-related sites to the vibrant and inspiring Comuna 13. It gave us a well-rounded, honest look at Medellín’s past and present. Highly recommend booking with Camilo – he made the day unforgettable!
Camilo was a wonderful guide who was very knowledgeable of the history of Pablo Escobar and also Communa 13. We had a wonderful time and learned a lot about Medellin history.
Book this private tour last minute. And I am beyond amazed how CAMILO exceeded my expectations big time! Camilo experienced first hand the history of Pablo Escobar. I was even teary-eyed how he survive that era and the Comuna 13 Experience was amazing! He is not just the best tour guide but also the best photographer and videographer. I’m a lifestyle vlogger and needed some videos for content. He nailed the shots!!
Our city tour of Comuna 13 with Camilo was nothing short of fantastic. He made sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. Camilo was a phenomenal guide, assisting us with negotiating with local vendors, which made shopping a breeze. His connections and rapport with the local community gave us a unique and authentic glimpse into the life and culture of Comuna 13. He also took the time to capture the best moments for us, ensuring we have plenty of wonderful photos to remember our trip by. Camilo knew all the best spots and angles to make our pictures truly special. Exploring the city with Camilo was both educational and enjoyable. He shared intriguing stories and historical insights about the area, making the tour informative and fun. His enthusiasm for Medellin and its rich culture was infectious. If you want an unforgettable tour of Comuna 13, look no further than Camilo. His expertise, kindness, and dedication to providing an exceptional experience are unparalleled. Highly recommended!
The experience was great. Camilo was a good tour guide. He was informative and he was eager to show me places.
This was a great trip. I learned so many things outside of television and media about Pablo Escobar and the effects it took on Meddillin. Camilo was an outstanding tour guide. He went above and beyond to help guide me to all the noted places that changed so much for this country and community. I learned alot from him and if I had to recommend it, I would say get him as a tour guide because he is patient, informative and very cool and laid back.
We had a very interesting few hours with Camilo who was super knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly Camilo knows the city and its history very well
Once again, following an excellent tour to Guatape with Camilo yesterday, he was the perfect tour guide today for our Pablo Escobar tour followed by a trip to Commune 13. Extremely knowledgeable and informative with a great command of English. Thoroughly recommend him as a tour guide for all things in Medellin. Jonny Kustow
Interesting history behind Pablo and C13 which Camilo was very knowledgeable about. The private tour felt laidback. Recommend completing the tour in the morning as C13 gets really crowded.
Our tour guide Camilo was very informative and took time to explain everything on the tour and answer any questions we had. I highly recommend him.
The tour was amazing! Jhony gave us a fascinating and detailed breakdown of the history behind Comuna 13 and the Medellin Cartel. Comuna 13 itself was an incredible sight to see, a must do if you're visiting Medellin.
The tour was well done. Very informative and interactive. Comuna 13 was also a perfect tourist destination
Great tour by Camille! He was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of great information with us. I would highly recommend to anybody visiting Columbia.
The tour was fantastic and our guide Camilo was outstanding. Camilo showed and taught us so much about the city, history, and culture. No complaints whatsoever.
Camilo was a great guide. He was very informative and knowledgeable on the history of each destination. Great views and experience.
The views were amazing the people were friendly and the show dancing were super nice also saw the positive place from why it was before
Camilo was an amazing tour guide, he not only showed me all the relevant and important sites but he explained the background and history of each site to give me a full understanding of that time frame in Medellin’s history. Having lived in Medellin his whole life he could also relate and explain how that time period affected the whole population of the city. I highly recommend Camilo as a tour guide for this tour you should request him specifically as I doubt there is another tour guide that could provide as much context to the sites as he can.
Was so fun, to hear all things pablo Escobar and the amazing comuna 13. We had Juan as a guide and went above and beyond to make us feel immersed in all things Medellin! Would recommend
John, our tour guide in Medellin, was the heart and soul of our Colombian adventure. With his infectious enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, he transformed our trip into an unforgettable experience. From the bustling streets of Medellin to the serene landscapes of the surrounding countryside, John’s passion for sharing his hometown’s beauty and stories shone through. He not only guided us through the city’s top attractions but also introduced us to the warm hospitality of its people. Thanks to John, our Medellin journey was not just a tour; it was a journey into the heart of Colombia itself.
Camillo was great. had a great experience. He is was knowledgeable n a great Is tour guide. And the information he gave us was very detailed. Highly recommend if you're going on any tour to ask for a Camilo. He spoke English very well! He made the tour not only interesting but fun. Thanks again Camillo.
Private tour picked up and dropped off by Camilo, he is full of knowledge, has good English, a good car, drives well, tour was at a good pace - whats not to like, definitely would recommend
Excellent Tour! Joshua is one of the best guides highly highly recommend this tour! Comuna 13 is a must!
This was a great tour. Tour guide actually experienced the history and culture of Medellin. I would definitely Recommend!!!
Our tour guide was very good but tour was not fluid. He took a cable car up and he came and got it back, but for no reason. The graffiti tour and exclamation it was very limited. He spent more time in the car going to other places then we did actually seeing things. I think that Tour needs to be re-designed a little bit to be effective, especially in Lou of the cost.
This is the best tour guides! They are professional and on time, they give you great advice to enhance your trip experience. They are not too expensive and they know how to deliver a reliable experience for tourists. I highly recommend them!
We took this tour our first day in Medellin and it was a perfect intro to the city with the must see La Comuna 13. This was our first day with Josh (after Camilo organized airport pickup for us the prior night) and it would be the first of 3 straight days with Josh who was the best. It was awesome to see many of the important Pablo Escobar-connected spots in Medellin to give us more context on his legacy in the city but also a great introduction to the city in general. After the tour, Josh dropped us off at Mondongo's for lunch which is a bit touristey, but still amazing food! 100% recommend doing this tour with Camantours first on your visit to Medellin!
If this is your first visit to Medellin, this is a MUST-DO tour! It's impossible to appreciate the city's history without understanding the full story behind Pablo Escobar! He's a very controversial figure in Medellin, and the tour does a fantastic job of talking about the good he did for areas of the city in his early days but also recognizing the terror and pain he showered upon Medellin and its people. Was truly fascinating for our entire family (I was the only one who had seen Narcos)! After several city tours in our trip around South America, the family agreed this was one of the best and most interesting. And Comuna 13, while a bit crazy with so many people, definitely gives you a sense of Medellin culture. The graffiti art is incredible! Finally our guide, Juan, was just lovely! His English was great, and he was so knowledgeable. He was a big part of what made this tour so great. Definitely ask for him if you can!
We loved Camantours so much from our last visit to Medellín (5 years), we came back for another la comuna 13 tour and added in the Pablo sites. Josh was our guide and was great and gave us lots of information. Highly recommend Camantours to anyone who visits Medellín!!!!!
The tour provided by Caman tours was absolutely amazing. Our guide Camelio shared all the details and took us to every nook and corner of communa 13 shared the transformation history and relevance of each mural. I would highly recommend this tour and of course with Camelio. Escobar related areas stops and relevant history was shared . The best part was he took us to shop to have frozen/popsicle made up of fresh fruits.
Juan speaks good English. It was easy to understand him. We enjoyed the Pablo Escobar and comuna13 tour. The cable car ride had really nice views.
This was one of the best tours I've done. Camilo will take you to a lot of the city and all the Pablo Escobar hotspots, and you'll learn from somebody who lived in Medellin during the cartel times. Comuna 13 was also great to see and learn the history. The transport is also comfortable.
We did this tour in conjunction with the coffee tour that they offer (near Envigado), and it was such an awesome day. Our guide Joshua was extremely knowledgeable about Communa 13, took his time showing us around, and spoke excellent English.
Great day, very fun. Medellin is a beautiful city and has tons of to offer. A tour is advised as it would be impossible to do it without someone in the know / who has a car.
We love Colombia but Camilo Aguirre made it better. He is awesome, knowledgeable and treats you like family. Hands down, highly recommended!
I loved this tour, the best part to me was the beautiful artwork and the extremely beautiful view at the very top
The entire tour was amazing! Camilo was very informative, he gave us the run down from the start of Pablo’s life and surpassed his death. We have a better understanding of the culture now. The wall art around Comuna 13 tells a fantastic story and we took some amazing pictures. My advice to others is to definitely wear comfortable shoes because there’s a lot of walking, it’s hilly and there’s a few steps to climb so brace yourself, but it’s soooo worth it in the end. I would recommend this trip to any and everyone and I recommend Camilo as your tour guide.
Amazing time with Camilo!!! The wealth of information shared was excellent, the details he shared make you feel like you are experiencing the events. He was very accommodating, making sure we had bano/bio breaks and tastings of some traditional foods of Colombia. I highly recommend Camilo, five star treatment from start to finish.
Very cool and interesting tour. It is definitely worth it! Our tour guide camilo did a great job and gave us an authentic insight into Colombian history
Authentic, clever, unexpected, makes me re-evaluate what you know already, human Worth every moment.
Camilo was knowledgeable and attentive! He answered all of my questions regarding the history of Pablo Escobar. Thanks for showing me around.
