Our tour started a little rocky because of our pick up location but they made up for it in the most amazing way. Fabio our guide was very knowledgeable about his city as well as the history of Pablo. My boyfriend is a 80’s/ 90’s history buff and we did the tour for his bday. He enjoyed every minute. The trip to what was once Pablo’s prison was long but the ride was nice. The burial site is beautiful. The comuna 13 tour was a great stop for pics, culture, art and souvenirs. Fabio took great pictures for us at every stop and they all came out great. I’m sure we got on his nerves but he did not show it. I recommend this tour 100% you will not regret it. Request Fabio for great conversation and safe driving. Thank you again!

Another 10/10 tour! If you want to learn about the history of Escobars rise and fall into power this is for you. Our private guide Luis spoke fluent English. He was just a child when he was growing up during these difficult times. Luis both picked us and dropped us of at our hotel. If you want to build a personal bond with your tour guide and learn lots about Medillelin cartel history this is definitely for you. I"ll go as far as I can say that Luis didnt just feel like a tour guide rather a brother. Another bonus, we booked 2 hours before our tour so you get that flexibility from our Luis. All in all, if your a tourist in the Medellin area this is a must do private tour.
