          Incredible Opportunity
          Such an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in the Escobar family. Gloria was very welcoming and open to any and all question you may have about her, her family, or the cartel. I am very grateful to Medellin travels and Alex the guide/driver/translator for providing this opportunity.

          Great Day / Great Guide
          What a fabulous tour! We started by taking the Metro and gondola(s) up to Arvi. Fascinating to see the life up in the hills and then encounter a sea of green below. Definitely ask to include a 30-45 min walk into the canopy as part of your tour (and maybe plan to come back for a whole day in the park). Then down to Plaza Botero which was magical including lunch outside overlooking the sculptures and the city life. And finally up to the delightful and colorful chaos and energy of Comuna 13. So much to see, hear, taste and experience. Our guide, Carlos, was amazing. (Carlos Medellin-contact me so I can return your independiente hat) So friendly, thoughtful and filled with interesting stories and anecdotes about Medellin, its history, culture, food. He’s really special and he took extra care to make sure that my mom and I had a fabulous day.

          Stunning vistas and a special day
          Great experience! John, our tour guide, picked us up from our hotel in the morning and drove us to Guatape. We climbed the 700 steps to the top of La Piedra to stunning views. Wow! We then drove to the nearby town of Guatape which was quaint, colorful and photogenic. John took us to some good shopping areas for chocolate, coffee, emeralds and other souvenirs. The tour company and John were great and arranged a birthday surprise for one of our tour members at a local restaurant - thank you for making this a memorable and fantastic day for all of us!

          Andres Gonzales - the best Pablo Escobar tour guide
          We took a private Pablo Escobar tour with Andres Gonzales, and he was an excellent guide. We toured the cities where Pablo conducted his life and tried hiding from his enemies. The Parque which the government sponsored as they demolushed his Palace is rather eye opening. The deaths he was involved with amounted to 46k people, so he was truly a wicked man, and a narcissist. Always on the move. Andres was an excellent guide and the tour was quite revealing of the history of Columbia. I highly recommend Andres! He was professional, very knowledgeable and very pleasant. We enjoyed his company and are proud to know him. Take the tour with him; you won't be dissatisfied. He's GREAT!.

          Beautiful scenes at every turn
          Great time and very scenic. The quaint town of Guatape was a joy to walk. At every corner there was something to photograph.

          Take this tour with Carlos
          Carlos Restrepo was our guide and he did a great job. He was very personable, spoke English well, and was very informative. He did the tour in an organized fashion and told us about all the neighborhoods so we felt like we got a little more than just Pablo info. To top it off - he was a good driver😜

          Worth it!
          This tour was incredible! Carlos was our guide, and he was wonderful. He picked us up on time at our hotel, and took us out to El Penol, telling us about the area and answering all of our questions. El Penol itself is an intense climb, but the views are so worth it! And then we were able to go into the town of Guatape, wander around, and had a great lunch at a restaurant recommended by Carlos. And, after seeing the multiple group tours all being herded around, we were so glad to have booked a private tour-it’s definitely worth the cost! Overall it was a great day and one we will not forget!

          Amazing Transformation of Previously Dangerous Area
          Very cool to learn about the transformation of Medellin following the Escobar Era. It was amazing to see the effects of arts and culture have such an impact in keep a community in harmony. I really appreciated how passionate my guide was to teach me about his experiences growing up here.

          Great tour and guide!
          This tour was very fun and informative. Our guide John was extremely friendly and energetic. He told the story of Pablo that was nicely intertwined with the places we were visiting. We were never rushed throughout the entire time and it was a great experience!

          Amazing tour guide
          Out guide John was amazing, he taught us so much about the history of Comuna 13 and what it was like growing up in the city. He was so passionate about this city and made this experience unforgettable for us. He was very accommodating to my grandmother who couldn't walk very well. He was kind and so knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this tour enough, the story of Communal 13 is tragic yet shows the resilience of this city and it's people. John showed us this, and was so great we booked a second tour with him. Cannot recommend this tour and guide more! John and this tour was one fight highlights if our trip to Medellin.

          Highly Recommend Great way to see Medellin
          It was a great half day tour. Saw exactly what I wanted to see and a lot more too (rode metro train for eg). David was a knowledgable, professional and friendly host. Gustavo a proficient and safe driver in both peak hour traffic and the narrow windy roads of Commune 13. Prompt and efficient too w lot of interesting info regarding Medellin. I got a real good start to see and understanding the city in this tour. Thanks guys
