This tour was probably the most fascinating tour I've ever been on, and our guide Joshua has extensive knowledge to share, not to mention top notch hospitality. He even let me borrow his hat when it drizzled! Starting with Pablo Escobar's tomb and the rooftop where he died, we got an in depth look into the rise and fall of the drug cartel of Medellin. Then we got an incredible experience in comuna 13, learning about it's volatile history and how it was transformed into a cultural hub, full of street dancers, rappers, trovadores, and graffiti artists. Then we got to take a cable car and metro and learned more about the different social classes in the city and the impressive resourcefulness of their architecture. Then we went to the plaza de botero and had a delicious cafe and finished our time in the pueblito paisa. Truly this tour is an all comprehensive look into this beautiful city, and we are SO grateful we did it! I would highly recommend it!
