Excellent tour! - We had a great tour 'Pablo Escobar' with Ruiz from Bicitour. He was very attentive and shared his good knowledge of Pablo's times with us and his love for Medellin. It was another lovely experience with Bicitour. Thank you so much guys! Saludos cordiales Torsten & Carsten from Germany

Amazing Experience on the Pablo Escobar Tour! - Wow, just wow! My husband and I had the most incredible time on the Pablo Escobar Tour! We booked this tour because we were curious about the history of Pablo Escobar, and let me tell you, it exceeded all our expectations. First off, our guide Carlos was the best! He wasn't rushing us through the tour like some guides do. Instead, he took his time, making sure we understood everything and answering all our questions. Carlos was super knowledgeable and honest, which we really appreciated. Definitely ask for Carlos when booking! We learned so much about Pablo Escobar's life and the impact he had on Colombia. But what surprised us was that we also learned about Griselda Blanco, another fascinating figure from that time. It's clear that the Colombian government wants to move on from this dark chapter, but we believe it's important not to forget history so we don't repeat it. This tour gave us a deeper understanding of Colombia's past. Overall, we 100% recommend this tour to anyone who's curious about Pablo Escobar or just wants to learn more about Colombian history. Trust me, you won't regret it! 11/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very interesting and eye opening tour of Medellin’s dark history - Our tour guide Julian was excellent. He’s only been learning English for a year and that was impressive in itself! Very good level of English. Julian is in his 40’s and as a young man lived through these dangerous times in Medellin. It was fascinating and sad at the same time to hear these stories through someone who’s family was affected by these events. An excellent private tour, no rush and happy to answer all your questions. I would highly recommend this tour as it’s done in a very laid back and personal way. Thank you Julian!

Private Tour w/Mateo - Couldn’t have asked for a better tour. I booked a little late so I wasn’t able to get one of the cheaper tours but I was pleasantly surprised when I was picked up by Mateo and it was a private tour, just him and I. He did such a great job explaining everything to me and answered the million questions that I had. I’m kind of glad I didn’t go with the cheaper tour because this one made it all worth it.
