Great tour and I highly recommend! Sebastian the tour guide was very knowledgeable and was fantastic!
Ana best tourguide. Thank yiou
Such an amazing experience! The first part of the tour was led by Ana and Giovani. Ana was very patient and knowledgeable. Explained everything to the details with all the required historical backgrounds. Multiple spots and stops. She also used visuals for giving more details. Very highly recommended. 11/10. The second part was the museum. A bit costly compared to what you receive but still worth it and recommended. What Ana explained in the first part you can visually see in the second part. Very genuine experience.
Amazing Ana and giovani are amazing. Was able to speak both English and Spanish fluently and perfectly. Very nice and pleasant experience
The tour with Juan David is worth it! Very interesting and very welcoming. I recommend it 100%
The courtesy of picking up at the hotel is very nice, from moment 1 they are pleasant, they offer you a drink and the Tour begins with an excellent narrative from when Pablo is born until what he and a terrified country become, I thank Ana for her charisma, joy, and kindness, I highly recommend it.
We had a great time with Ceasar and driver Ramon! who really took the time to explain the history in a fun way and what life is like now. Ceasars story telling was 10/10, from history and timelines. Highly recommend this trip, very organised and the guides made it even better. We went through different sites and he explained each site in a detailed way! Thank you again and hope to do more tours with this company
It was an amzing and unique experience. Our tour guide David told the story in an immersive and intriguing way. It was chronologically told as we visited the places which made it easier to process. We got pictures along the way further deepening our understanding and knowledge. You get complimentary water. Our driver, Giovanni was very nice.
It was en excellent tour. David is a great story teller! I enjoyed every minute!
Juan was a great tour guide and very very knowledgeable. I learned a lot on this tour not only about Pablo Escobar, but about Medellin. Would definitely recommend this tour.
