A unique experience - Great private tour with Alex where we visited the key locations linked to specific events in Escobar's life. The tour ended with a fascinating visit to his sisters apartment where we spent time talking about his life.

Highly recommend, better than every other Pablo Escobar tour - Alex was an exceptional tour guide and is very knowledgable. He treated us like family and we learned things about Pablo Escobar and his life that we wouldn't have learned on any other tour. We did the full tour + La Catedral and it was well worth it, thank you Alex and team for an unforgettable experience!

GOAT - John was the greatest of all tour guides (GOAT). John was welcoming and made us feel welcome and like one of his family members. He was knowledgeable of the history of Escobar and had great insights to his last days.

Focused tour, superb guide! - The tour is focused in theme, but varied in angles. By visiting multiple sites, I gained a deeper knowledge. Our guide, Alex, speaks excellent English, possesses inside knowledge and offered very helpful service.

Overpriced and Underwhelming - The communication was poor. Instead of being told, I had to call for details on the time we would get picked up. It was three of us for the tour and we were picked up by the driver in a midsize suv that we had to share with the guide. Three of us had to sit uncomfortably in the backseat. The tour itself was underwhelming…especially for the price of the tickets.

A waste of time - Disappointing. A 4 hour tour, most of it spent sitting in a car. The sights were puffed up nothings. The rooftop is essentially a drive by of a house owned by some random person that you have no access to. The neighbors don’t want you there so you are told not to get out. It took about 20 minutes to get there and we spent 5 minutes looking at it and being shown pictures off the internet of what it looked like when Escobar was killed. The cemetery and church are fine, as advertised but not terribly exciting. The cathedral was a complete sham. You have to drive a very long way up a mountain to get there and you cannot even access the site as it has been closed off by the government. All you get to do is look down on some ramshackle buildings from the parking lot of the monastery adjacent , which was also closed when we were there. This tour is a load of rubbish and false advertising. Do not waste your time or money.
