Private Medellín Tour: Pablo Escobar, Comuna 13 & Cable Car

Our family has truly enjoyed the tour! Thanks to you, we got to know Medellín and its surroundings in such a wonderful way. We learned so much about the history of Medellín and Pablo Escobar, and visiting Comuna 13 was a truly memorable experience. Mauricio was aan amazing guide. We learned so much, saw so many beautiful places, and enjoyed every moment. Thank you for making this day so special. We will always remember this experience! Thank you so much!

Pablo Tour,was amazing! The guide Andes,was the best!

This private tour was an eye-opening and essential experience for understanding the complex history and resilience of Medellín. Our guide, Mauricio, was incredible. His knowledge was deeply personal because he was just 10 years old during the peak of the Escobar bombings. Hearing his firsthand perspective provided a level of emotional depth and authenticity that you simply cannot get from a textbook or a standard tour. Walking through Comuna 13 was the absolute highlight of the day. Seeing the vibrant street art and the community's energy firsthand was truly inspiring, and having a private tour allowed us to navigate it all at our own pace. Unfortunately, it rained during our tour and the lines were incredibly long for the cable car ride, so we missed out on that, but Mauricio kept the experience engaging and seamless regardless. If you want to truly understand Medellín's past and its beautiful transformation, I highly recommend booking this tour and asking for Mauricio!

This tour is great for a more personal tour experience. Mauricio was great and very attentive. Definitely felt like a personal experience and felt very safe. For a deep history of Medellin and this is highly recommended.

Sofia was very knowledgeable and passionate about history. She was very flexible with us due to travelling with a 1,5yo. Can't thank them enough for their patience and help at all times. We felt very safe and relax the entire trip. Medellin is beautiful same as its people.

Had an amazing tour today. Mauricio was extremely informative and answered all our questions. Great experience, one we’d 100% recommend!

I recently took a Pablo Escobar tour, and it was a very eye-opening experience. The guide shared a lot of history about Medellín and how the city has transformed over the years. It wasn’t just about Escobar himself, but also about the impact his actions had on the people and how the community has worked hard to move forward. Definitely a tour that makes you reflect and see the city from a deeper perspective.

Mauricio was our tour guide and he did such a great job! The tour hit all of the spots in 4-5 hours! We had time to stop and get local snacks, fresh fruit pops and plenty of water! Mauricio was so informative of all things in Medellin- from Pablo to Comuna 13, he shared personal stories of his time living through the most dangerous time in this city! Highly recommend this tour and if you can request Mauricio ….he was the best!!!

Mauricio was an excellent tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and very informative. He explained the history in English and Spanish. Definitely worth it!

We had an amazing day with Mauricio. As academic criminologists, we were very interested in the experiences of Colombians during the Escobar years, not the glorified information you may receive elsewhere in Medellin. Mauricio did not disappoint in this regard! From the memorial to Pablo's victims at the Monaco house to the Barrio, plus other illuminating stops, we learned so much! And to top the tour off with the most fascinating and vibrant (not to mention historical and also very informative) Comuna 13, we thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Muchas gracias, Mauricio!

Mauricio was truly a Colombian gem! He was super informative, easy going and gave great insight into the history of Pablo Escobar. He ensured we had snacks and drinks in between sights. He also made sure we had the best views of Medellin. He answered all of our questions with great enthusiasm and constantly welcomed additional questions. I highly recommend this private tour. In my travel experience, this has been one of the best tours! Thank you, Mauricio!! You were the best!

We had a fabulous day and would highly recommend this tour. There is no way that we would have been able to see all that we did in one day on our own. Henry, our guide was extremely friendly, thoughtful and informative.

I had an unforgettable experience on my private tour in Medellín, visiting Comuna 13 and Pablo Escobar’s neighborhoods with Mauricio from Medellin Best Tour. From start to finish, Mauricio was absolutely fantastic — so friendly, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took his time to share the rich history, stories, and local perspectives, making the tour feel truly authentic and meaningful. Walking through Comuna 13 was inspiring, and learning about the complex history of Pablo Escobar’s influence on the city was eye-opening. Mauricio’s passion for his city really shines through, and he made me feel safe, welcomed, and engaged the entire time. If you’re visiting Medellín and want a deeper, more personal understanding of its past and vibrant present, this tour is a must! 5 stars — highly recommended!

It’s a great tour to learn not only about Pablo Escobar, but the city of Medellín as well. Our host was very informative and also very open minded. All our questions were answered and different theories discussed in a positive way. We never felt rushed and had a great time!

What a fantastic and informative day out. We loved every part of this experience, with Mauricio being the perfect guide. His knowledge of the history and places we visited was fantastic, and he was super friendly!

Mauricio is awesome! He went above and beyond to show me around and we had a great day seeing communa 13 and PEs neighbourhoods This is the best way to cover a lot in a small Period of time. Go with Mauricio! You won’t regret it especially if you want to try empanadas!!

Such a great experience. This was my first time in Medellín and we toured with Mauricio. He was amazing! Highly recommend. Very knowledgeable with the history, VERY safe driver, and was very patient. Will definitely tour with him again. Had such an awesome time. Thank you Mauricio.

Amazing tour! Mauricio was a great guide and very informative of Escobars history without glorifying it. The cable car and walk round Comuna 13 was also great! We never felt rushed by Mauricio and he allowed us to enjoy the experience at the perfect pace and allowed us to spend as much time as we wanted at the various stops on our tour. Would HIGHLY recommend anyone to do this tour if they want to see Comuna 13 or gain a greater understanding of the Escobar history from a local. 10/10 experience and definitely worth the money.

Really amazing experience. Mauricio was a great guide. I left having a much better understanding of Pablo Escobar and the Comuna 13. I would recommend this your to anyone visiting Medellín. Being driven around in a car, makes for a much better experience too, as well as being picked up / dropped off. Thank you.

It was a great tour the guide Mauricio was very friendly and never harassed us at all. I recommend it 10/10

Excellent tour, all the time hearing stories and getting into the reality of the events, Mauritius made us feel Colombian and family, in fact I plan to repeat and give contact to my friends recommended 100% blessings

A very interesting tour, which provided us with more knowledge about Pablo Escobar’s life and impact in Medellin and Colombia as a whole. Then we visited the commune 13 with its cable car built as a means of transportation for the population, its vibrant tourist vibe and beautiful walls, in street art. Our guide Mauricio was great. And I believe the Tour has been private, it has brought us more comfort.

A super complete tour with a guide of 10 called Mauritius. 100% recommended If you come to Medellin do not hesitate in this Tour.

What better than to do the tour with a country that knows Medellin like the back of your hand! Mauritius took us to Commune 13 on a tour with historical perspective, which made us reflect on the resilient spirit of its people. Then, we continue with Pablo Escobar’s tour. Mauritius’ critical look allowed us to understand the depth of a subject that left a deep wound in Medellin. We met several of the corners where his story unfolded. That’s not all: every part of the way, our guide was telling us curiosities and customs from every corner of the city. We are very happy to have contracted the tour with Mauricio as we learned and got to know a lot.

Mauricio es un humano espectacular, el tour es súper personalizado, te hace sentir como en casa desde el primer segundo. Tiene detalles más allá del tour programado. Conocimos muchísimo de la cultura de Medellín y en particular de los puntos que visitamos. Felicidades y muchas gracias!

Mauricio, an excellent guide and driver, a very nice experience, very good explanations, in general, highly recommended

We really liked the tour, everything was phenomenal. Delighted with commune 13, the delicious food and drinks Excellent attention We thank the company for this incredible experience

Very good tour! The guide is very attentive and takes you to see the most important places and without a doubt it is a tour that you have to attend, you cannot miss it.

Cool! the guide, the food, the places, the car tour, the attention. Excellent tour.

The story of Pablo Escobar is surprising, also how commune 13 was one of the most dangerous and violent places in Medellín and now it is a place full of life and color, there are very empathetic people. Our guide captivated us with his kindness and we liked how he told us all the stories and stories during the tour.

Very very excellent tour, we learned a lot about the culture of commune 13, we liked all the places we visited and our guide. Thank you

We would repeat this tour again, what we liked the most was our guide and commune 13; lots of color, great people, dancers, good food and the wafers are delicious :)

We had high expectations about this private tour in Pablo Escobar and Comuna 13 and it really was a unique experience, our guide made it possible for it to be a very good tour.

Excellent tour, the tour guide was Mauricio, who is a very nice person. From the beginning of the tour they tell you the whole story of Pablo Escobar, the violence that was experienced in Medellín at that time, it is a very informative tour. We were happy. I recommend it.
