- 932sidneye0 contributionsA very interesting and informative tour by JaimeThe tour was really enjoyable and informative. The views were amazing, we took so much pictures and videos during the tour. Our guide Jaime did a very good job, we rated him very highly for his job. Thank you.Written October 22, 2024

- ThanhN12560 contributionsThanh & Jonas - SwitzerlandWe did the Private Pablo Escobar Tour with Cable Car Ride and it was just fantastic, perfect in terms of time and content! Our Tour guide Carlos was very nice and knowledgeable! We would recommend everyone who is in Medellin to go for it!Written October 19, 2024
- seronek0 contributionsPablo Escobar and Communa 13This tour was amazing Jaime was good and informative 👏 I will recommend him to anyone I know coming to medelin I appreciated how he also looked out for us review 💯 big up Jaime !!!!!!!Written October 18, 2024
- Camper149007333170 contributionsINCREDIBLE - MUST DO IN MEDELLINJaime is the BEST tour guide!!!!! He thoroughly and patiently explained the entire history of Pablo Escobar (family life, cocaine business, bombings, extradition) while showing us the relevant places in Medellin! We felt incredibly safe with his help and knowledge. Jaime took us to the gravesites of Pablo Escobar, Griselda, and others. We visited the memorial for victims of the bombings. We went to a small museum with a collection of photos and newspapers from that era. We even saw the iconic rooftop where Pablo was killed. Jaime has spent years researching and understanding these events to accurately portray Colombia’s history. We also enjoyed the BEST EMPANADAS of our lives! I’m still dreaming of these!!!!! These were handmade, fresh and hot, bursting with flavor (garlic sauce, homemade hot sauces, fresh guacamole) made by a woman in Comuna 13! We enjoyed obleo completo dessert (wafer with sweet toppings) and explored the intricate maze of Comuna 13 neighborhood. The cable car ride offered amazing views of the entire city and densely populated housing below. Jaime is the best - a true friend in Medellin for lifeWritten October 10, 2024
- Sightsee7976540 contributionsPerfect TourGreat day exploring Medellin and learning about Escobar. Jamie out guide made the day perfect from start to finish. Safe and gave us some great extra tips for the city.Written October 3, 2024

- N9081BOkarlac0 contributionsGreat way to learn about Medellin's history.Very informative tour with an amazing guide. Andres was very knowledgeable and welcoming. He had some great food recommendations. Would recomend 10 out of 10.Written September 10, 2024
- Z3764TYjessicav0 contributionsGreat Tour with CarlosWe had a great day touring Guatape and the coffee farm led by Carlos! He was very knowledgeable and made sure everything went smoothly. We felt safe throughout the trip and had a very good experience. We would recommend it for anyone visiting the area!Written September 6, 2024
- josephdT1689JT0 contributionsHands Down Best Tour with the Best Tour GuideThe tour was truly an amazing experience. Our guide was Jaime and he was so knowledgeable. I learned so much in so little time. Jaime was truly one of a kind. Someone who keeps the tour lively and always has something to say. With how detailed and informative he was I feel like I could now host a tour of my own. He gave great insight of how the people of Columbia view Pablo Escobar, both the good and the bad, he presents you with all of the information and allows you to form your own opinion. He also knows the best spots to eat/party. The empanadas he showed us in Comuna 13 were some of the best I’ve ever had and for as cheap as can be. This trip would not have been as amazing if it wasn’t for our amazing tour guide.Written September 2, 2024
- NatCastle180 contributionsHighly recommend!! Best tourExcellent tour option for it’s category and well worth the price! The company was generally helpful and I was able to get recommendations for food even prior to arriving to Colombia. For the actual tour, we had Jaime as our tour guide and he was absolutely AMAZING at keeping us involved. My wife went on the tour but wasn’t as interested in the story as I was prior, but Jaime was so good even she was into it midway through the tour. He was very helpful with other questions we had as well. For a long tour it really goes by quick yet covers a lot. Highly recommended and would go on it again with friends who I’m already recommending.Written August 29, 2024

I have been to Colombia twice now and I met Carlos on my first trip. He was an amazing tour guide. We did the comuna 13 tour, Pablo Escobar tour, ATV, paragliding, Guatape, and also a soccer game!! He also gave us dinner recommendations that were all perfect. Highly recommend anyone and everyone to use his services. Very professional and friendly. Great experience!
