Brilliant tour with an awesome guide - Was initially quite nervous to visit Medellin, with all it's history, but Manny's tour around Medellin and explaining it's history and Pablo life was inspiring, leaving me wanting more. Manny's passion for Medellin was infectious and just visiting this city I can see why. I would definitely recommend to do this tour with Manny and I can't wait to go back.

Amazing Tour, Awesome Tour Guide! - This tour is amazing, very detailed and informative tour on the history of Pablo Escobar. Our tour guide Wilson enriched the experience even greater with his commentary, patience and enthusiasm! Wilson offered several times to take pictures and videos for us and I am glad he did as he captured some awesome footage. He also ensured we didn't miss out on trying several delicious snacks and was very generous. The tour takes you all around Medellin and is also a great way to see the city. The hotel pick-up and drop off in the guide's car was very convenient and made for an enjoyable day, highly recommended!
