The best time with the best guide!

We had the most amazing time all thanks to Carlos! He was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable, and so charismatic! 100% recommend. He made us really feel the energy and community of comuna 13 and we are so grateful.

Awesome Pablo tour exceeded my expectations!!

Stephanie_C, Apr 2024

Outstanding tour. My guide David was so knowledgeable and insightful. It did rain, but we made the most of it. He was prepared and had umbrellas. My guide was so gracious and patient. I was a solo traveler, so offered to take pics. I highly recommend this tour, especially David!

Really fun!

We loved touring around with Danny!! He was very knowledgeable about Pablo Escobar and communa 13. We really liked that we had our own private tour with him too! He took us too some really cool spots and kept us engaged the whole time. We would love to book another tour or experience with him in the future

Medellín hoe

Thank you so much for your patient explanations, tour guide. Your professional knowledge and warm service made our trip even more enjoyable. The interaction with local at the end of trip is a bonus!

Insightful.

Michelle_P, Apr 2024

This was one of the more insightful tours that I took. I have a clearer understanding of Pablo Escobar and his agenda. Some striking correlations were made for me. The tour guide was very accommodating!

The best tour with tour guide Carlos

Pierina_G, Apr 2024

Our tour guide Carlos was amazing ! He went above and beyond showing us the cities and the culture of Colombia. We felt very safe and gained a lot of knowledge. I would recommend this tour with Carlos ! It’s a must !

Much better than expected

Ian_D, Mar 2024

A great compact trip full of information about Pablo. Our guide spoke good English and knew everyone as you walked around. It was also great to hear about life in Medellin today and to see the transformation into a vibrant city

comuna 13 is magical

Peter_T, Mar 2024

Our tour guide Carlos was exceptional...we toured the pablo escobar sites and the community he built when he was a senator...took the metro cable car trip.....both of those were great but the gem of the day was the tour of comuna 13.....I have never experienced a community with such love, spirit, fun annd entertainment in my life....and that it changed from one of the worst areas in south america to what it is now...without government help....a community coming together..it sets an inspirational example for others

Exploring Medellin

Medellin is a fantastic city. Carlos truly helped us experience it in a great way. Would absolutely recommend.

THE BEST TOUR & TOUR GUIDE

OLIVIA_D, Mar 2024

Our tour started off great with Jaime being on time , informative and ofcourse humorous. We enjoyed every minute of this tour, we visited Pablo's house, resting place, we went on the cable cars, we got lunch and went to the famous Comuna13. With Jaime being our guide we felt safe. His command of the English language is spectacular and his wealth of knowledge about Colombia dn Pablo was the icing on the cake. We've done tours in the past however we've never been this satisfied. Jaime you are an Asset! Keep being the person you are. Love Jason and Olivia fr. 🇯🇲 100% reccomend and worth every dollar spent!

So much fun

Stephanie_M, Mar 2024

Book it! Carlos was greats, truly so personable. We enjoyed the transparency and the knowledgeable vibe! He took us everywhere and took his time. The tour was due to end and he continued to take us to local places and we had the best time. He is the best guide!!! Ask for him specifically if you can you won't regret it

The best tour guide ever !!!!

Crystal_P, Mar 2024

Our tour guide Jaime was an amazing tour guide. We learned so much, we felt safe and had a great time. This tour was more than we expected, but I truly believe it was because our tour guide was phenomenal. He had the knowledge to share. He was patient and on point with the itinerary!!!

5 Stars

Lael_K, Mar 2024

Our Tour guide Jaime was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain a lot of history. Definitely recommend to friends and family!

Great tour

Isabel_S, Mar 2024

Knowing the culture, it automatically booked me a private tour when I wanted a group one as I’m traveling solo but the tour was great but definitely not worth the price :/

Medellin Rocks!!!

MonicaSellers, Mar 2024

Our tour guide Carlos’s knowledge of Medellin and its rich culture/history was excellent. He is very patient with his visitors and allowed us to have a great time in whatever we wanted to do. He was good with us taking pictures and never rushed us. He made our trip memorable. Thank you Carlos!!!!

Great

Gary_C, Mar 2024

Great tour-best host!….everything was perfect—lots of info and sights…Jaime was great and very knowledgeable

Amazing, Insightful, Breathtaking

Jade_B, Feb 2024

The sites in themselves were amazing to see but Danny, our tour guide, is who truly made it an experience. His extensive knowledge of the history and culture and the way he helps you immerse yourself into it was truly phenomenal.

Extremely insightful and enjoyable day .

Jon_P, Feb 2024

A very enjoyable and insightful tour with Andreas. He is very knowledgeable and has a lovely style about him. I would highly recommend this tour.

Informative and interesting!

Anette_H, Feb 2024

Our guide Jaimie was absolutely amazing! He has a lot of knowledge about Escobar, Communa 13 and the city of Medellin. He balanced the information very well and it was an interesting and educational guided trip. We felt safe with him as a driver even though the traffic was intense. There was no rush and we were able to take a lot of photos. We highly recommend this trip!
