Eye-Opening and Informative: A Must-Do Pablo Escobar Tour in Medellin - I recently had the opportunity to take the Private Half-Day Pablo Escobar Godfather Tour in Medellin and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the life and legacy of Pablo Escobar and took us to all the key locations associated with the infamous drug lord. From visiting Escobar's former mansion, to seeing the site of his final shootout with authorities, our guide provided us with a wealth of information and insights that truly brought the history to life. Not only did we learn about Escobar's rise to power and eventual downfall, but our guide also shared personal anecdotes and stories that added a personal touch to the tour. The tour was well-organized and allowed us to see a different side of Medellin that is often overshadowed by Escobar's notoriety. Our guide was not only passionate about the subject matter, but also went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable and informative experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning more about Pablo Escobar and the impact he had on Colombia. It was a fascinating and eye-opening journey, made all the more enjoyable by our fantastic guide.

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😜

Finish the tour at The Memorial - The Memorial for the people Escobar killed was very moving. It put the icing on the cake as to what a horrible person he really was.

Pablo Escobar in context - Our guide Gustavo was excellent. As a native from Medellin he was able to add context to this very difficult time in the cities history. As much As so.e may want to forget it is good to learn about what happen and why it happen and how it impacte everyday people. It is also important how the city has moved from it hopefully stronger.
