An absolutely wonderful and informative trip. We learned a lot about the history of Pablo Escobar with a very knowledgeable and wonderful guide.

Mauricio from Transporter Medellin Company knows his business. He guided me very safely and informatively through the tour He has all the insight information and can provide context to historic and current affairs in Columbia and Medellin.
Can recommend him as an excellent guide, "bodyguard" and travel companion.
Thank you, Mauricio!

Emilio was a fantastic guide. Excellent English and very informative. He took us to several places of interest relating to Escobar. We learned so much about the infamous and influential character. The tour was well worth it.

Im usually not much of “organized tour”type of traveler, but while in Colombia I didn’t wanted to wonder around in bad Neighbourhood, so we book a trip with Mauricio. What a great experience. He picked us up in nice car, drive to all kinds of parts of Medellin explaining the history of each one of them. Tour was not only safe, interesting and fun, but at the end of it we felt like we made a friend in Mauricio. I’m defefenetly booking his coffe tour when I come back to Medellin

Absolutely amazing day! They were so flexible - picked us up in Guatape and gave us a tour of the less touristy areas there in the morning absolutely gorgeous place by the way! Then customized the tour to see where Pablo Escobar was killed, the graffiti tour in Comuna 13 which was super interesting, gave us an appreciation of Botero art, he took us on the metrocable to get an incredible view of the city and inner streets and even took us to a delicious Colombian lunch. We learned so much about Medellin history, politics and really have a new appreciation of the country. Our kids of 16 and 18 got such an education. LOVED this tour!!!

This was terrific! Shortly after I booked this tour, Mauricio, the guide, called me on Whatsapp and confirmed the pick up time. He was right on time, and as luck would have, I was the only person on the tour on this particular morning.
Mauricio was very knowledgeable about the life and times of Pablo Escobar and, in addition, much more about the culture, lifestyle and traditions of both Medellín and Colombia.
We visited so many places that I can't remember them all and ended the tour with a great cup of coffee.
I highly recommend Mauricio and this tour!
