Excellent experience for all ages - Excellent tour full of emotion and lots of partying. The tour is perfect for your first days in Medellín; a lot of culture, a lot of information and a lot of partying; Escobar's house and the view from the Peñol stone are impressive. Be sure to try all the typical drinks and foods of the region. If you go with children, the llamas will be a great highlight for everyone.
Finally, Ale's guide was excellent, he treated us with a lot of respect and professionalism. Huge shoutout for the entire Chivas Tour staff.
