Great job by Andres. Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends. - Andres did an outstanding job describing the history behind the Medellín cartel in the 80s and 90s. It’s clear that he’s passionate about the subject and enjoys discussing it. He answered all of our questions and made us feel engaged.

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😜

City car tour - 4 adult males booked this tour and they show up in a 4 door small car. I request a larger vehicle and the company rudely responds. After one hour and $100 a van show up for us. 4 hour tour with approximately 3 hrs of car time driving from one end of town to the other.
