Pablo Escobar Tour Between History And Museum In Medellin

Cuban was a great guide. We had the best time,he explained everything very well.

Duban was an amazing guide we had the best time!

Very informative. He made it clear that he was not going to glorify or glamorize Escobar and his cartel. He had a lot of personal insights from his days growing up in Medellin during Escobar‘s reign of terror. He recommended we try out “La Matriarch” for lunch afterwards, which had great food and service.

Andreas was our tour guide, he was patient, informative, and funny! Great person! Would definitely recommend.

Andres is a great guide!! Thank you

Absolutely awesome experience. Andres was a great guide who explained everything clearly and made sure not to give us information overload :). Everything ran smooth and on time, and transport between each site was included (in a bus). Definitely recommend if coming to Medellin and interested in Escobar history!

Amazing tour... Andres was informative, engaging and knowledgable. I highly recommend the tour... ASK FOR ANDRES!!

Andreas did a Fantastic job and I would highly recommend this tour with him!!

Great tour Well spread out Very informational on Pablo and the history of medellin

Ricardo was very knowledgeable and great experience.

If you want to learn more about the history of Pablo Escobar, this tour is highly recommended. Duvan was our tour guide and he was Amazing.

It was good. The rout guide gave a good detailed history and paint a picture of the History. However the museum itself I was not impressed.

Great tour for value. Ricardo was patient and a source of information

Tour guide Carlos was energetic and informative. Very good hospitality. We had a great experience. We couldn’t visit one place on the itinerary because of all the parades happening in the city. The vehicle we were on had very limited Air conditioning.

I’m not one to do reviews but I have to tell you about my tour guide, Alejandro. He was AMAZING!!! Literally 10/10. He experienced life when Pablo Escobar was living and told us so many stories. But besides the stories , guys the history, his knowledge !! He knows so much history , time stamps, dates , location , all of it. Also It turned out the bus we were on, was suppose to have a TV screen to show us a few things but since it didn’t he used his phone and honestly it was pretty great. He even used Bluetooth to connect it to his speaker/mic so everyone can hear. We stopped at the Pablo Escobar museum which Pablo’s living niece Laura owns , very cool. We stopped at a local place for beers/waters. Tip: do not drink so much beer there might not be restrooms later in the tour. There is heavy traffic going to the cemetery and the restroom was closed. Besides that we saw Griselda and Pablo’s grave. And lastly we went to the memorial park that was built to remember all the people that died because of Pablo. Oh and how can I forget he showed us the house/roof where Pablo died! He even had photos of what inside the house looks like (remodeled). If you guys truly want to know Pablo’s life you need to take this tour. Netflix and all of Hollywood will sell you lies for their entertainment. Use fake names and locations. You have to visit the real deal. 10/10.

Duvan made this trip amazing! He did an incredible job of presenting Medellín’s history in a respectful and insightful way, while also sharing personal stories that really highlighted how far the city and its communities have come from its violent past. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our questions, giving us fascinating insight into how the drug trade and trafficking networks operated in Colombia. I also learned so much more than I expected about Colombian culture, history and even local slang! What really made the experience special was how personal and genuine Duvan was. He shared a lot about his own upbringing and past, which made it feel like so much more than simply having a tour guide. While we were stuck in traffic, he took the opportunity to sit with each person individually, asking questions and getting to know everyone. By the end of the trip, it genuinely felt like he had become a friend to everyone in the group rather than just our guide. Overall, an excellent and incredibly memorable tour. I would highly, highly recommend this tour — and especially Duvan — to anyone visiting Medellín!

Great tour and had a lot to offer from the timeline of pablo to his life. Alejandro our guide was very knowleegable and dipsersed a lot of myths and gave us the ground reality having experienced it himself.

Amazing experience. Alejandro was very knowledgeable and answered questions fully. My family and I enjoyed the tour.

Alejandro was an amazing tour guide very knowledgeable and very informative I really enjoyed the experience. 10/10

Must do! Alejandro, local celebrity, was amazing.

Really interesting. Our tour guide was really good at going through the timeline and the fact that he lived through the times made it more interesting.

Kevin was great! Amazing tour guide and great English. Great perspective.

I recently took the Pablo Escobar Tour in Medellín and it was one of the most fascinating, well-organized, and memorable experiences I’ve had while traveling in Colombia. If you’re even slightly interested in the history of Medellín, the narco era, or just want a deeper understanding of the city’s complex past and present, this tour is an absolute must-do. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone visiting. What truly set this tour apart was our outstanding guide and driver. From the moment they picked us up, it was clear they were true professionals who know the subject inside and out. They shared incredibly detailed and balanced accounts of Pablo Escobar’s life, his impact on Colombia, the rise and fall of the Medellín Cartel, and how the city has transformed since those days. Every story was backed by facts, personal insights, and respect for the local perspective. Their storytelling made history come alive without ever feeling sensationalized or disrespectful. Beyond the incredible knowledge they brought, the human element made the day special. The people of Medellín were warm, welcoming, and genuinely great to us throughout the entire experience. You could feel the pride locals have in showing how far the city has come while honestly acknowledging its past. The highlights for us were getting to meet members of Pablo Escobar’s family, taking photos with them, and purchasing authentic signed shirts that we’ll treasure as unique souvenirs. It was surreal and deeply memorable — something you simply can’t get from a regular city tour. The logistics were flawless: comfortable transportation, safe driving, and a perfect pace that allowed us to see key sites without feeling rushed. Everything felt well-planned and respectful. If you’re heading to Medellín, book this tour. You’ll leave with a much richer understanding of the city, its people, and its history. A huge thank you to our amazing guide, driver, and everyone we met along the way — you made our visit truly exceptional! Highly, highly recommended. 5/5 stars.

Great tour Joe was great tour guide highly recommend this tour with Joe

We really enjoyed the tour. It was informative and entertaining, sad but educational. Joe is knowledgeable about the history of drug trafficking as he had family members involved in the process. Highly recommend!

Interesting tour and good english

Very nice guide, great explanations and the guide cared about the wellbeing of the participants

This was a great tour. I learned so much and it was so interesting. My tour guide Alejandro was great and so knowledgeable it was also very interesting to hear some of his personal stories having lived in Medellin during some of the events that occurred. The museum was also so great to see. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Recently, I became interested in learning more about Pablo Escobar, who has been a hot topic lately, and booked a tour. Our guide was Kevin. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and I learned a great deal about Escobar, making it a very worthwhile experience. He also had insightful opinions on Medellín's history, current situation, and future, and I felt he was an excellent guide. I would recommend him.

Alejandro was a fantastic guide! He was very informative and knowledgeable and also gave us his first hand accounts as he grew up during Pablo’s reign of terror! If you want the true story behind one of the world’s most notorious cartel leader, I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Alejandro has so much history about Pablo E

Well run trip, taking in key historic sites. Luiz our guide explained everything well. Would recommend trip for a half day overview

This was such an amazing tour. Alejandro was great and really knowledgeable. Meeting Laura Escobar was a nice surprise. I am definitely coming back on this tour when my family comes to visit me.

Was a great experience, very informative and insightful tour. Matteo was an amazing guide. The trip included a free beer or bottle of water and lasted about 3.5 hours.

All Good Kevin was great, and Fun

Amazing guide very informative

Very informative and interesting tour. Alejandro was amazing, very knowledgable and shared eye opening stories. 100% recommended when in medellin.

It's a great way to learn about the history of Pablo Escobar, the cartel business in Colombia and Medellin as a city. You'll get so much more context than you would by just going to museum. Our guide Alejandro also shared great personal insight from the days Escobar was in power. Then again, the flow of information could be improved.

It was a great experience thank You JOE!!!!

Good value for money, but sometimes a bit too conspiracy driven rather than fact. It’s the cheapest tour we found that offers everything, whether the Beyond Escobar is better than the Museo Pablo Escobar, we will never know.

Great tour and excellent guide - Alejandro. One thing that can be improve is the Escobar Museum tour. The museum was interesting, especially the artifacts, but the photos and newspaper clippings felt a bit all over the place. It might be better if they were framed and laid out in chronological order instead of more of a collage-style setup.

Really great tour by a very knowledgeable guide who lived through the drug lord's reign of terror & was affected personally by a cartel bomb & lost friends to another. He told the stories very well. We visited the place where Escobar's life ended, the Museum, the cemetery where he is buried & the beautiful Inflexion Memorial Park, tribute to the 46,612 victims of the cartel. Definitely recommend this tour.

Mr. Jorge was very professional and demonstrated extensive knowledge of the era and of Pablo Escobar's life; furthermore, he led the tour in a very engaging manner.

Very fun and entertaining lots to do will definitely book again……………………………………….. friendly and interesting

5 out of 5. Amazing, very detailed and informative tour. Highly recommend and special thanks to Alejandro, our guide, for the great tour.

Jorge was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Medellin. Highly recommended this tour is want to learn about history from someone who lived during a violent time in Colombia

Very interesting tour, we recommend it! Alejandro was very professional and knowledgeable. Tour emphasizes about the victims during the Cartel.
