Luis is by far the best tour guide I ever had on a trip. I've used him multiple times during my visits to Colombia. He was very punctual in time. He gave us a lot of history behind everything we saw. Would highly recommend Luis to everyone.

Amazing experience👏 High recommended! Amazing people and delicious food There are some many things to do! Love Medellín❤️
Luis was our Pablo Escobar tour guide. He was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He safely guided us to the sights of Escobar’s points of interest. He had some great photos of Pablo’s life and times. We had a great walk in one of Pablo’s neighborhoods and Luis was always available for questions and great conversations and stories about Pablo’s life. If you are thinking about taking a tour, do not hesitate to ask for Luis. He is the best!
Luis made the tour super enjoyable and informative. The Escobar Tour gave us an incredible background of events and actions that shaped the city of Medellín. Great time had by all. A real local feel and experience, including some authentic food options. Would highly recommend Luis
Luis and his team are amazing! Luis booked us with Maurcio for a tour of Guatape, and it was so great, that we quickly booked this Pablo Escobar tour for later in the week. Mauricio is an exceptional tour guide. My family travels often, and Mauricio is one of the best tour guides we've ever worked with. He is knowledgeable, easy to speak with, and fully fluent in English. He also knows fun places to stop/eat/visit along the way. Mauricio knows a ton about the history of the Escobar family and the cartels. He clearly reads and studies the topic. He has great recommendations for shows, movies and books on the Escobar history. If you’re looking for the best guide on the cartels, definitely contact Luis and Mauricio. Also - Luis is great to work with. He is responsive, clear and fast. He helped us with cars and logistics, in addition to the tours. I would highly recommend working with him for planning any/all of your trip.
We were with Luis for 2 days. The pablo Escobar tour and Guatape tour. Both tour were perfect and we enjoy it very much. From the beginning , Luis response to my message very quick so everything went smooth before we met. Luis was flexible and always take care of us. So good to have him to be our guide. Highly recommended if you come to Medellin.
We had the immense pleasure of visiting Medellin, a coffee farm and Santa Fe de Antioquia with Luis for 2 days. He is very knowledgeable about Medellin and Colombia in general, he is a great story teller and has great english! We truly felt in safe hands with him, he made very good recommendations for shopping, itinerary and always stayed very positive professional. We recommend him for anyone that wants to get to know the city and its surroundings and feel like a local. We will certainly hire him again anytime we go back!
In december 2024 my wife and I had private tour of Pablo Escobar. Our guide Luis picked us up at the hotel and we went on our way. We visited the place where Pablo used to live. The house isn’t there anymore. Instead there are now monuments for most of Pablo’s victims. Very impresive! Our guide, Luis told us a lot about Pablo and his victims. I saw the tv serie’ Pablo Escobar,El patron del mal ‘ and I can say this, what Luis told us was even more than what i saw in the tv series. I got a better understanding on the Pablo Escobar and the Cartel of Medellin era.
Great experience on the Pablo Tour and Community 13. We were about to interact with the kids in the area and played basketball
Excellent tour by Sebastian- who spoke English very well. Super informative and just the right amount of time.
Luis and his team were fantastic! They helped coordinate our travel between the airports, hotels, and restauarants for our stay in Medellin! They were very patient with airport delays and knowledegable about the city. We had a great time in Colombia!
Luis was an excellent guide. He is very knowledgable about the history of Medellin and Columbia. Speaks good english and has good vehicles for the tours.
Luis was outstanding! We unfortunately went on a tour with another guide the day prior and it was a disaster. Luis was so professional and knowledgable. He really cares about his clients. I cannot recommend him enough.
Luis showed us around Medellín and it was a wonderfull experience. He knows well about the city and the history- explains everything very well and detailed. I can only say if you go to Medellín you need to book a tour wirh Luis! There is no better one ! 5* deluxe!
Luis was amazing as a tour guide for this! Super informative, has lots of history on the area being he lived here during the height of the cartel wars. The tour shared the good, bad and ugly about Pablo Escobar, his cartel, the police, government and local citizens caught in the middle at the time. I saw mixed reviews about doing the tour in general, and now that I went, I say do it to learn the truth about events, not just glorifying the TV drug lord gang life image of Escobar. It Goes way deeper than that, remember every country had their good and bad sides, be respectful of the culture and people here. Please book him if you're interested in this tour. He was so great, we also booked him on the spot for the Comuna 13 tour for the next day. Thanks Luis! :-)
Luis was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgable and extremely professional. We did a combined Pablo Escobar and Comuna 13 tour, and it was incredibly interesting; we learned so much. I will 100% be recommending Luis to any of my friends that visit Medellin in the future! Thanks for a fantastic experience, Luis!
We were blessed to have Luis as our Tour guide for both the Pablo Escobar and guatape' Tours. These tours won’t disappoint! We spent 2 fantastic days with Luis. His ability to deliver the past and present history of Medellin and Guatape' made our trip well worth it. He's a TOP NOTCH tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about all things Colombia from all perspectives. He gave us lots of historical and cultural information and was more than happy to answer questions. He also offered recommendations of other things to do/ see and places to eat during the tour. Definitely, a must when visiting the city of Medellin!
Had a great time with Luis on the tour. He is friendly, very knowledgeable, very easy going and will cater the tour to your liking. I wanted to eat an authentic home cooked style meal and he took me to the a great local spot. Excellent experience! Don’t even hesitate Luis is your man.
This one of my favorite experiences of our trip in Colombia. Would highly recommend as a must do while you’re here! The guide is so informative on everything related to the vast history of Pablo Escobar.
We highly highly recommend this tour with Luis! This is my second time visiting Medellin and I learned more about the city and Pablo Escobar than previous visits. Luis is entertaining, funny, and full of interesting facts. This is a must for those visiting Medellin!
Our tour guide Hector was amazing I highly recommend him Hector was very knowledgeable and very accommodating
Luis was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable! His English was great and very friendly. Highly recommend (he was even featured in documentaries!)
Luis was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who expertly showed me various Escobar-related sites. He speaks excellent English, although my tour was conducted in Spanish at my request. I would not want to navigate Medellin traffic on my own, and the tour was a worthwhile addition to my trip to Medellin.
Book a tour with Luis, so you can sit back and relax. LUIS TAKES CARE OF EVERYTHING!!!! I have gone on at least one tour with Luis each of the 4 times I visited MDE. The man is a Harlem NYC original and a legend in Comuna 13. So, thank you Luis--the official, unoffical Mayor of Comuna 13. Can't wait til our next tour together!
Luis was originally my airport transport for a Fishing expedition. However, I had an extra day before flying back home, I hired Luis to take me around Medellin, the Pablo Escobar tour, and lastly to Communa 13. He’s a super knowledgeable guide that speaks fluent English. I’m so happy that I spent the afternoon with him exploring Medellin. His minivan was clean and had AC. Had a great time! Highly recommended
I am lucky to get to know Jhon the tour guide.He really knew everything about Pablo Escobar and his family. He spoke perfect English, the car was clean and comfortable! Next time I go to Medellin I will definitely use their services again! Thanks for all!
We booked our Escobar tour with Luis and liked him so much that decided to book the Guatapé tour for the following day. I traveled with my sister. It was our first time, in a long time, traveling without our children. Needless to say, we wanted “calmer” type of tours. He was flexible and didn’t hesitate to make small adjustments to our tours. We fell in love with Medellín! Hopefully we can go back one day with our children and with Luis as our tour guide again!
What can we say, Luis was awesome. He was our private tour guide the whole time in Medellin. He would pick us up everyday and take us sight seeing. We went to Comuna 13, Coffee tour, Guatape, The famous Pablo Escobar tour and we got to meet Pablos brother. Luis became like family for us, he was very well informed of Medellin and gave us tips to stay safe. He even took us to just chill and walk the city one day. He treated us well and he has a can do attitude. The guy is great, i would recommend him in a heartbeat. He is respectful, knowledgeable and safe. Thanks Luis for making our family trip special
Best guy to do with him Pablo Escobar tour!! He can combine all the related sites in one day, including the visit of Roberto Escobar.
Highly recommended! Luis was my private tour guide for all three days that I was in Medellin and he definitely made it a great experience. He took me in an air conditioned van all around the city as well as Guatape the next day. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Colombia and the Medellin cartel. The highlight of the trip was when he took me to meet Pablo Escobar’s brother the next day. Very compassionate and personable tour guide and I will recommend him to any of my family or friends that are planning to visit Medellin!
Luis is a rock star and his tours where the highlight of Medillin for me. Both of them were do different and informative. There’s no way to really dive into the culture on a deeper level. He’s super knowledgeable, down to earth, engaging, and the best tour guide. I’ll be back on his tours soon!
If you need a awesome trip with great guy, this is it. Everything works and this guy help you what ever you need. Absolutely fantastic trip.

Luis was an excellent storyteller and an enjoyable guide. His knowledge and experience of Medellin and his good command of English made it a truly worthwhile tour and, in our opinion, highly recommended.
Luis Osbinna is an extremely dedicated and cool tour guide! Always on time and reliable. His knowledge of the Medellin of the 80s and 90s, as well as the background to Pablo Escobar and his cartel, is remarkable and he tells the stories incredibly vividly. He knows people on every corner and also organizes a meeting with Pablo Escobar's brother Roberto on request. We were incredibly happy to have met him as a guide and can highly recommend him! We look forward to seeing you again. Luis Osbinna is an extremely committed and cool tour guide! Was always punctual and reliable.
