Great day with Daniel - Daniel is a great guide. He contacted us prior to the tour to confirm and arrived on time. He speaks great English and showed us all the sites in the tour with lots of information. He gave the perspective of the locals from different points of view. He gave us recommendations. Most importantly he is a fabulous person and we both thoroughly enjoyed our day with him.

Very interesting tour - Our guide, Mateo, was very knowledgeable and told us many things we did not know. He was very objective and brought the history to life. There were some sad moments as the history is very sad. Mateo was a good driver and looked after us very well, he gave us tips for other things to do and offered to answer any questions we had, even after the tour

Worth visiting as it is part of Medellins history - We did this tour with Eddie. He picked us up at the Hostel and during the car rides to the different spots he talked about the painful and bloody history. It was extremely interesting and also very reflective. I can highly recommend doing the tour because Eddie made it very special, we ask tons of questions and learned about the transformation of the now beautiful city Medellin.

Informativ Tour - We didn’t came to Medellin because of that story but got a recommendation for this tour. So we went with Eddie (our guide) to all the important places you need to know. He gave a very respectful and transparent view on that part of the history of Columbia. We think it is important to know what happened in the past and he gave us, with respect to the victims, an great overview as a eyewitnesses. Thank you very much Eddie!

Highly recommended to everyone !! - Thanks a lot for your help, to organise the tour, and thanks again to Andres for this amazing guide and his time spending with us. Highly recommended this tour to all who want to know true behind the lies and gossips and know the real and true history of Escobar. It was definitely worthed to do, better then any other tour related to him.We got many new informations about Medellin, how much this amazing city changed and developed in the past years, and became safe for tourists and economy friendly. I will definitely come back to Colombia ( not Columbia) and visit Medellin since this city is offering much more then most of the people think, and deserves to be full of new tourists to see, and experience how kind the people here are. Thank you, and see you soon :)

Excellent - Excellent tour with Cesar, some amazing facts and sites. Felt like the time flew by. As Cesar said it’s important to not try and forget about what happened, people need to talk.
