Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13, Carrera 110, Medellin Colombia
Next at La Catedral, Pablo´s private prison, lush hillside to enjoy panoramic city views and to visualize how he decided to work with the Colombian government at one point.
The tour leaves La Catedral as you are informed about Escobar´s escape and the upcoming pursuit that lasted 18 months until he finally got caught. At Los Olivos community, visit the block and the houses where Pablo got shot. Was it suicide or what has exactly happened? Make your own conclusions after hearing your guide´s information.
Next, tour stops at the cemetery where Pablo rests along with his family members. Take this opportunity to learn how Pablo got started by the black widow (Griselda Blanco), whose grave is located just steps from his.
Finally, the tour takes you to one of the humblest communities where you´ll realize how Medellin went from the most violent to the most innovative city in the world. At comuna 13 you will understand how Medellin has been so resilient by admiring the colorful street art and outstanding infrastructure such as the largest outdoor escalator in America.
At the end, minivan goes back to the initial starting point.

The tour was a lot of driving from location to location and less walking around than we anticipated, but Daniel was absolutely amazing! He is extremely knowledgeable and excited to share all of his anecdotal stories. Daniels clear passion for the subject and hearing it from a local made a day full of information fun and easy to understand.

First with the positive, the tour was well organised. I accidentally booked the wrong date so I called the number and spoke to a nice guy who without any fuss changed the date for me. On getting to the meeting point the tour guide messaged me in case I couldn’t find it.
However, the reason I booked this tour specifically is because I wanted to see La Cathedral, and when I asked the tour guide he told me we’re not going there because it’s closed. I really felt this should have been communicated before we booked the tour because on the “what to expect” description it is included.
Other than that the tour just included Escobar’s grave and Comuna 13. There’s other Communa 13 tours which are much better, more thorough and led by people who grew up there. I was quite disappointed.

This is a great company to hire if you would like to learn about the history of Medellin and Columbia in general. My guide Daniel was incredible and very easy to have conversations with. I felt safe, entertained, and I wish the tour was longer. Great job guys!!

This is a really cool, visually & historically interesting tour; after 2 days of physically grueling tours, this one was more easygoing but no less captivating. We made several stops to the advertised points of interest & our guide was very informative.

Luis was a fantastic guide! He shared information with us the entire way, constantly checked in to make sure we were doing okay, and made sure we saw everything we wanted to. We visited La Catedral, Escobar’s grave, and Comuna 13. At each stop Luis made sure we got the pictures we wanted and we never felt rushed. He also speaks excellent English and translated for us when needed. Highly recommend!!!
