Pablo Escobar trip Medellín

“Really enjoyed the Pablo Escobar tour. Caesar was an excellent host — friendly, knowledgeable and engaging throughout. He explained the history and background clearly, with lots of interesting stories and context that made the experience much more meaningful. He was also happy to answer questions and never made the tour feel rushed. A fascinating experience and I’d definitely recommend Caesar to anyone interested in learning more about Medellín and the Escobar era.”

Informative tour with a great guide

Very informative tour. Daniel was a great guide & as there were only 3 of us, he was easy to hear & ask questions, which can sometimes be a problem in large groups. The tour did end quite quickly (after 1 hr 1/2, not 3 hrs as advertised) maybe because there were only 3 of us & we opted out of the museum. Joveni (our driver) also was a great driver.

Okay tour

If you watched Narcos or any other documentary on Pablo Escobar, you can pass on this tour. If you opt to take the museum tour, which you can also take a pass, please be aware that you're responsible for your own transportation back to the park or your hotel. This isn't clear in the booking details.
