    Increíble experiencia de sensaciones en los distintos lugares que hemos recorrido.Agregamos el tour de los graffiti en comuna 13, a este tour, en donde las personas que nos acompañaron no fueron solo guía (Daniela ) y conductor (Don Jaime ) solamente, fueron unos amigos de Medellín que hicieron que estos días lo pasáramos de maravilla entendiendo su cultura y todos los datos históricos en cada uno de los spots que visitamos Quiero destacar la calidez y la increíble predisposición para solucionar cualquier pedido o necesidad nuestra en estos días,tanto de Daniela, Don Jaime y Lina (Propietaria de la agencia ) Super recomendable

    We took the private Medellin City, Pueblito Paisa and Pablo Escobar Tour in early September 2018 to cover some of the highlights of Medellin as well as the story of Pablo Escobar, who had such a great influence on the recent history of the city. We were picked up on time by our young but very knowledgeable guide Pedro and our fantastic driver in a comfortable van. We went first to take a ride with the spectacular cable car in Santo Domingo up to the Spanish Library, which unfortunately is closed due to structural problems. We saw the community over which Escobar had great influence. The views from the cable car are spectacular. We took the modern Metro to Downtown and visited there different points of interest, including the Cathedral and Plaza Botero. Afterwards we went to Pueblito Paisa, had a great lunch and enjoyed the great views over the city. The rest of the tour was about Pablo Escobar, visiting the house he was shot, the cemetery with his grave and that of other family members and his house, which we had a chance to see two weeks before it’s destruction. Altogether it was an extremely satisfying tour which we can only highly recommend. Many thanks to Pedro for all his explanations and stories about the city and Escobar, we definitely learned a lot of new information. The right way to get to know this fascinating city.
