Great tour!

The tour was very interesting and informative. Our guide was very knowledgeable, attentive, and organized. Learning about this aspect of Colombian history was more meaningful because we visited relevant places and neighborhoods, putting it all into context. This tour combined with a few museums is a must do for anyone who is interested in Colombian history.

We had an incredible time learning through Jorge, our tour guide. His depth of knowledge and personal experiences helped us understand and feel what it was like to live through such a memorable time. He answered all of our questions and explained how all of these events created what we see today. Gustavo was an amazing driver throughout the journey. You won't find an experience like this on the internet or through any TV show.

Daniela was an excellent tour guide and made the experience so much more! We enjoyed so much we booked the next day tour to downtown, section 13, graffiti and more the following day with her. Such a perfect experience to have someone helping you get around and learning about a new city. She took the time to let us enjoy ourselves and didn’t rush us from one place to another. I highly recommend Daniela!

Jorge, our guide, was fantastic. We spent the day learning not only about Pablo Escobar and events and locations relative to his life, but also talking about many things that contributed to the distinctive experience of the Colombian people generally and the people of Medellin and Antiochia in particular. It was a fascinating and enjoyable day. Highly recommended.
