    Full description

Understand the effect this figure had on the city of Medellín.   After choosing a hotel pick-up at 09:00 or 13:30, travel in a private vehicle around Medellín. Head to various sites around the city with an expert local guide, including to the site of Escobar's old home and place of worship. Ask your guide questions on this private tour to get an insider’s view on life in Medellín.

    An in-depth, personal and exciting tour I would recommend to all!

    Line, our tour guide was absolutely amazing! This was more than just a Pablo Escobar tour, but rather an in-depth cultural lesson of the history of Colombia and Medellín. There was not a single question Lina didn’t have an answer to and then more. She was very in tune to our interests and even shared a light lunch with us at one of the spots. This was a tour I was looking forward to prior to my trip and I don’t usually book tours, but this time around I’m glad I did. It did not fail to impress and by far a highlight of my trip! Thank you and especially thank you Lina!!
