Daniel the GOAT - Daniel the greatest of all time. Compared to other tours we’ve had around the city (not by this company), Daniel’s passion and deep knowledge of the subject shone through. He was incredibly accommodating, enthusiastic and most importantly friendly. we felt like we could ask any question - none too silly. we came away having understood everything he explained. thankyou for a great day!

Very recommended! - We went with them on a day trip in Medina and also on a day trip in Guatape. Both trips were professional, with very courteous and service-minded guides, and the price was very attractive relative to what was offered. Highly recommended!

Entertaining and very interesting tour on a black page in Colombian history - Daniel is an amazing tour guide. He obviously loves his job and had extensive knowledge about PE and the gang violence history of Colombia which he enthusiastically shares with you. Would definitely recommend this tour if you want to learn about Pablo Escobar and skip the overhyped touristy stuff.

Excellent tour - would recommend - (We booked with Get your guide where this tour is also known as The Real Pablo Escobar tour). Daniel was a very informative guide who knew a lot about the Narco’s history and the victims of the drug wars. The tour was very well ran and we had a driver with us so our valuables could be kept in the van if needed. The tour took us to the key spots and our highlight was definitely La Catedral - we’re happy we chose this tour.

Misleading - mis communication - misguide - Hi everyone, Viator is not the relatable platform to booked the tourist attraction . Unfortunately I booked the 3 package from them and it was my first time experience . As matter of fact , I decided to make the payment before the due date , so I’ve chose. the option Paynow , and all of sudden my booking was cancelled, afterwards I called on the customer service and as per the customer service representative might be there was problem in your card, I replied her it’s not possible bcuz that time I’ve sufficient amount in my account and even I’ve didn’t receive the notification from my bank , so how possible you cancelled my booking and at the time of booking I spent 3 to 4 hours on the same attraction ( Hobbitons & Waitini cave ) , but she tried a lot but didn’t found the fault and in the end she gave me the option to booked the another deal which’s 500$ expensive and available at the same date . I want to add something , due to bad experience I don’t won’t that I lost my other bookings bcuz I’m traveling to the New Zealand from Dubai UAE, and it’s 12 days trip with family, so I requested her that kindly pay from your side through the same card which I was entered at the time of initial booking , and fortunately we made the payment on the other 2 Attraction . I was shocked that what’s going on and in the reality there’s no problem from my card detail and how the cancelled my booking of ( Hobbitons & Waitomo cave). I had almost one hour call conversation with her and it’s expensive call from Dubai to Viator. Anyhow after spending one hour she gave me the option of same attraction but price is 1,538 dollars instead of 1,008. I expressed my hated feelings but she couldn’t happen anything and in the last I paid 1,538$ instead of 1,008$. In the short , in the future I’ll never booked anything from them bcuz it’s waste of money and time and I’m so disappointed bcuz I requested a lot and I’ve to pay extra without any reason . Attached the previous booking and new booking Nayyar Noman khan +971 55 355 8351
