Interesting! - So interesting. Not a glossed over tour, very factual & taught us a lot on a sensitive topic. When I was booking a Escobar tour, I had doubts on some but this was very good. Recommend.

Private tour at its finest! - Awesome private tour! Our tour guide, Esteban, makes it fun and dynamic. He treats you like family! Take this tour if you want to learn the non-Hollywood version of the Escobar era!

Carlos is a legend! - We had a fantastic private half day Pablo tour with Carlos which we would highly recommend. Having been a police officer during Pablo’s rein, Carlos was able to give us some amazing insights into what life was like during those times. No topic was off limits with Carlos so we felt we really got an in depth insight into life in Colombia during those times. After having had a very disappointing ‘free’ group tour of comuna 13 through a different company the previous day this private tour with Carlos was so well worth it.
