Jairo gave an amazing tour - Jairo gave an amazing tour, he’s really a gifted storyteller. He made every site we visited come alive with his storytelling, I would highly recommend choosing him when in Medellin for seeing any of the sites.

A great perspective on past and present Medellin - I specifically chose this tour for Pablo Escobar as they took an angle that was not glorifying but telling of the history of Medellin. I had Oscar for my guide who was a professor in Colombia and teacher in the US in the past, so he was extremely knowledgeable. He answered many questions and gave me insight to the city that you won’t find in any guidebooks. I’d highly recommend this tour to get insight into the history of Medellin and that of Colombia.

Mr. Oscar Escobar is a amazing tour guide! - Great tour! My guide was Mr. Oscar Escobar. Guys you won't find a better tour guide than Mr. Oscar. He is an elderly gentleman who lived through this history and played with Gutsavo (Pablo's cousin) on the streets of Envigado while growing up. So he knows a lot (you'll be surprised with his knowledge).

Jairo Calderón - best tour guide - Jairo was our tour guide for the Pablo Escobar tour. It was such an exceptional experience being driven around and learning the history in such depth. Jairo is incredibly knowledgeable, well-informed, and brings each site to life with enthusiasm. His English is fluent and excellent, and he communicates clearly, making the tour both enjoyable and informative. It was truly a fun and memorable experience.

Excellent, informative tour - Feliciano was an excellent guide full of information about Colombian history, the historic drug trade, the cartel wars, and Pablo Escobar and his family. We learned so much on this fascinating tour and we were excited to see La Cathedral because we understand the government plans to destroy the remaining buildings soon. Great, thorough tour!

Informative, and knowledgeable couples with great storytelling from the guide. - Amazing tour! The guide had us driven all around the city, showing us the places Pablo frequently went as well as where he was raised. He showed us the grave and the sites of several of the infamous events. It was truly an amazing tour.
