Chasing the ghosts of Pablo - It was a great experience, taking in all the highlights of Pablo in the city of Medellin. The highlight by far was meeting Pablo’s sister Gloria at her home. An absolutely humbling and incredible experience. But most of all, our guide Carlos was excellent and super knowledgeable and kind. Without him the experience would not have been the same. Highly recommended!

A truly fascinating bucket list tour of Escobar! - David Garzón was our tour guide for this experience and he did an incredible job of explaining Pablo Escobar’s history. The Catedral was so fascinating and the view from the mountain was stunning. All the other sights we saw were equally impressive and awe inspiring. We were so stoked we got to meet Pablo’s surviving sister and one of his bodyguards! We even got photos with them and got to ask them questions. They both happened to be present at Pablo’s burial site. David is very knowledgeable of Escobar’s history and the history of the cartel in Colombia. We really enjoyed all of his explanations and found him to be very thoughtful and insightful. We loved the tour so much in fact that we also did the ATV tour! Thank you David!

Amazing, informative, real deal tour - That was awesome! We learned so much about the real history with our guide, David. We really could not recommend this tour enough. It was great to have frank conversations about the Escobar cartel, visit La Caterdal, his grave, the place he met his demise, all of it. We were able to see a lot of Medellin and the stories that went with the barrios. Excellent tour.

Amazing experience - 10/10 - Our guide Carlos was a legend, he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and even showed us great places to eat and drink and answered questions about Medellin. It is 100% worth upgrading to meet Gloria, she was amazing and even gave my wife her earrings which floored us with her generosity. Carlos deserves a payrise, he makes the tour!! Thanks Carlos!! Hope to see you again.

Highlight of the Trip! - This was one of the coolest experiences we have ever had. Our guide, Carlos, was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun. We thought we were going to be part of a group but it was just my husband and I. It was done in a very tasteful way, not glorifying Pablo but just acknowledging his impact on Colombia and learning the fascinating details about his story (when truth is stranger than fiction). Meeting his sister and hearing her version of events is something we will never, ever forget. DO THIS TOUR!

We got to see so many historical sites and Veronica did an amazing job of sharing many interesting historical facts about the various sites we visited. Joanna, our driver was also great. Highlight of the tour was visiting La Catedral up in the mountains. Highly recommended . Thank you very much Veronica for an amazing experience. Excited to come back and do more tours with you.

Lack of knowledge from the guide - On time, friendly guides. The ease of travel between locations was good. However, I felt like the guide didn't offer a lot of information and when we asked follow up questions, the answers we received didn't always seem to add up (either they contradicted previous information or contradicted provided photos).
