A Great Experience! - I had a great experience of the “All Day Tour of Pablo Escobar” with a very knowledgeable and well experienced tour guide/driver named Steven of Medellin City Services. In addition, Steven was punctual, professional, and took the necessary preemptive measurements of keeping us safe amid the COVID pandemic. Furthermore, I thought I was up to par with some of the good/bad deeds of Pablo Escobar, boy was I misinformed. Steven was able to provide me with lots of informative facts, pictures, and insights I wasn’t aware of regarding Pablo. His knowledge of artifacts regarding Pablo made the tour more intriguing than I expected. There wasn’t a question he wasn’t able to answer regarding Pablo’s upbringing until his death. If you’re intrigue with the history of Pablo Escobar; in addition to seeing the beautiful landscapes, terrains, and various neighborhoods located on the outskirts of Medellin, I highly recommend taking the Medellin City Services tour, you won’t be disappointed!

Excellent trip, very informative and well worth it - Just back from the trip with Julio, our tour guide for the day. The trip was excellent, very informative, interesting and good value. The different Escobar sites were interesting to see and Julio gave a detailed and informative account everywhere we went. Providing the story behind each place and answering any questions we had. Transportation was great with hotel pick up and drop off and lunch in a local restaurant allowed us to enjoy some of the local dishes. Overall an excellent experience and o be I would highly recommend

Medellin Tour - Just completed the tour with Julio as our guide. The tour was excellent really informative. Our guide Julio spoke English better than most people I know. He had researched the subject and gave us the facts letting us make our own minds up. If you are in Medellin I would definitely recommend this tour and this company
