Very good it was the best tour we had this week very Nice Guy and we had a lot of fun very exciting we learn a lot of the history
Nice ride and nice experience, iconic places of Pablo Escobar, we were lucky enough to be only two for the Spanish language, so 'we were given a guide just for us, and' like having made an individual excursion
I loved the tour, a lot of interesting information is a unique story and with a lot of morals, I recommend them my guide Mateo was very friendly

Esteban did a great job! He was very friendly and gave a great experience. I would highly recommend booking your tours with him!
Such an amazing tour and 100% recommended. My girlfriend and I had a private tour with Esteban (at a better price than the groups), and learnt so much. The structure was great, as you drive between key locations, he tells you the history of Pablo Escobar from childhood, the start of his criminal career, all the way to his death. We were welcome to ask questions as we went so there was no confusion. At the end we had time to chat about the fallout after his death and about life in Medellín today. Thank you Esteban for being so attentive and showing us such a great time. (BOOK THIS TOUR!)
