Beforehand people in our group told us not to go, because it would be all too sensational and that the money would go to family of Pablo Escobar. We decided to go anyway, as it is part of the history of Medellin and Colombia and we did our research to find a non-sensational tour as we were not looking for sensation, we were just trying to understand what all happened and how it affected the people. We had no signs that money from this tour would go to the Escobar family, on the contrary, our tour guide very critical. The first thing he showed us was the memorial, so we immediately got an idea about the impact of the violence. In fact this tour is something you should do when in Medellin.
