Pablo tour with Jairo is the best I've ever had - Pay for the private Pablo tour with Jairo and you will not regret it! He will give the real story of Pablo's life and take you through his humble beginnings as you visit his family home neighborhood where he grew up and then you can go to The Cathedral where he stayed isolated from his enemies atop a mountain side self built compound and you will hear,see and feel the story from Jairo as he goes above and beyond any other tour guide needs to so you feel like you're almost back in time. He has personal connections with the people who will welcome your questions and provide you with the real stories of the life they lead and not fantasy some people make up. Jairo will not rush through any parts of the tour and go to any locations that you want to visit and provide you with the real deal facts that I had always wanted to see and hear about!

The Complexity of Pablo Escobar - The morning spent with Feliciano was very informative. Before I arrived to Medellin, I did not know a lot about Colombia and only knew of Pablo Escobar from when he was killed and I was in middle school. Feliciano provided excellent background information that was non-biased and very matter-of-fact, which was excellent. Seeing La Catedral is a bit heavy after you learn what happened there. I had a private tour, which in my opinion, made the day much better as I was able to talk more with Feliciano and ask questions of him as well as at La Catedral. Definitely recommend this tour!
