Terrific day with guide and driver David to see the sights of Pablo Escobar, including La Cathedrale and the Memorial Park. Guatape with the private boat ride along the waters with views of the celebrity mansions including Escobar and the climb to El Penol Rock was memorable. Well worth the day trip.

This was probably one of the best tours I have ever been on. Our guide, Juan, was very knowledgable and respectful. We were picked up on time, got to see all the sites, and we never felt rushed. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin.

Very nice tour, and our tour guide Andres was really informative, he answered all of our questions and very fun to spend the day around. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellin.

We learned much more from this tour then from watching the series. I'm glad we decided to take the tour.
