          A great way to explore Medellin
          Joshua was a great tour guide. We learned a lot about Medellin and Comuna 13. My son loved asking Joshua lots of questions too and he’s a very interesting guy. We got a great lunch recommendation to end our morning tour. I highly recommend this tour.

          Great Experience
          My friend and I went on a private tour with Camilo. He was very knowledgeable in history regarding Pablo Escobar and stopped us to about 3-4 monumental sites while providing info along the way. The coffee tour was my favorite and I learned so much! Every part of the process was reviewed by Ana when we got there. The ride to different destinations was smooth and Camilo was very accommodating. His camera quality is also very good!

          Amazing Tour with Camilo in Medellín! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
          My trip to Medellín, Colombia, was unforgettable, thanks to Camilo, an exceptional guide who made my experience truly special. He took me through the colorful streets of Comuna 13 and on a breathtaking cable car ride into the heart of the city, sharing Medellín’s history and culture in an engaging and insightful way. Comuna 13 was a highlight of the tour. This vibrant neighborhood, alive with colorful street art and music, embodies resilience and creativity. Camilo’s deep knowledge and storytelling brought the area to life. He explained Medellín’s transformation from a troubled past to a thriving, innovative city, leaving me with a deeper appreciation for its people and culture. The cable car ride offered stunning panoramic views of Medellín’s urban landscape and surrounding green mountains. Camilo explained how this transportation system has positively impacted the local community, making the experience both scenic and meaningful. Beyond the tour, Camilo was also my driver to the airport. His professionalism, kindness, and excellent service made everything seamless. If you’re visiting Medellín, I highly recommend Camilo. His passion for his city and his dedication to his clients will make your trip unforgettable. Thank you, Camilo!

          Must do in Medellin
          Had a 4 hour trip with Camilo, who was a real local and so knowledgeable - he really made us feel comfortable throughout. This was the first time we took the option of a private guided tour and it was so worth it as we had such a personal experience and could adapt as we went. The tour includd Comuna 13, which I belive is not usual for most operators and that was a very eye-opening and at times disturbing experience, but it is so good to see a community rise up from such hardship and make the most of what they have. I really encourage you to go there and help out with everything they are doing now. It felt 100% safe and there are some fantastic boutiques and street vendors selling all sorts of funky items. A must visit. Highly recomend this tour if you are in Medellin, ask for Camilo if you can get him.

          A lovely glimpse of Medellín
          It was a great experience to go around the city. It covered some parts of the city with historical and socioeconomic significance to understand people and their lives in Medellín. Joshua was a nice and energetic driver cum guide and of course a good company. I enjoyed the trip fully.

          Marvelous Medellín
          If you take this City tour, you will not be disappointed especially if you have Joshua (City Tour Guide Extraordinaire) introduce you to the sites and sounds of Medellín. As my time here was limited, I got to see a lot of the city and be introduced to Colombian and Medellín history and culture, all while using different modes of transportation. It was great to be learning on the move and experience so much of the metropolitan area. From booking to paying to communicating, it was a very easy process (Thank you Camantours!) and a through and thoughtful tour. Hats off to Joshua for answering all my questions and giving me a flavor of this interesting city.

          Joshua was an amazing tour guide and he was kind and took things slow as we had a 5 year old with us on our private tour. Comuna 13 is a very interesting spot to visit. Thanks again!

          Beautiful city with a super-fun guide!
          Camilo showed us a great time today! He was very patient and generous with his time. He speaks perfect English. Camilo has a lot of pride in his city, knows lots of cool friends, and not only has much wisdom about the history of Medellin and Colombia, but is also well educated about world events, and is an excellent conversationalist. I highly recommend Camantours Medellin! Muchos Gracious, Camilo. Mark Savannah, Georgia, United States

        Camilo gave us an excellent tour of Pablo's city - from the cemetery to Pablo's private prison, to the house where he was killed. This was also a good way to see the city and its views at the same time by driving between destinations ... the views of Medellín from the private prison up in the mountains are incredible!

        We had our guide John who drove us to 4 important sites in Pablo Escobar's life - 1. the roof that he died on, 2. cemetery where him and his family are buried, 3. the prison that he build himself, 4. the home he lived in which was demolished and made into memorial park for people who were killed by Pablo Escobar. It was a great way of seeing the whole of Medellin and getting to know the history behind the guy and the city. It also allowed us to see Medellin after Escobar how it has changed and became the most innovative and touristic city. John was very kind, knowledgable and passionate about the city which was very impressive. We were a group of 3 in total which made it very personal and private!

        Camilo is an expert on this segment of Colombian history. The tour is informative, and eye opening. Camilo will take you through the entire backstory while visiting the places in the story. It’s immersive and you can get a sense of the terror inflicted on the population during Escobar’s time at the head of the Medellin cartel. It’s a brutal history, but as they say, you have to remember to not repeat. Camilo is aces and highly recommend him. Una persona de buen gusto.

        Camilo is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Medellin and Pablo Escobar. From start-to-finish he gave me extremely interesting facts and information about Escobar and the Medellin cartels. He took me to various sights relating to Pablo Escobar like the house where he was shot in 1993 and La Catedral. Also, as a guide he was highly efficient and always willing and able to answer questions. Furthermore, he took good photos of me and promptly sent them on to me via WhatsApp. I therefore recommend this tour and Camilo as a guide without reservation.

        My tour guide was Camilo, and I highly recommend asking for him.

        Camilo showed up early to pick me up, drove me to each destination, and shared information that completely blew my mind. I was very impressed with Camilo's knowledge about all things Medellin and Pablo Escobar. He is professional and speaks clear English. We took breaks when needed and moved at a comfortable pace.

        This tour was a first hand Netflix Documentary - but only 10 times better. This tour was by far the best tour I’ve been on. Our Tour Guide - Camelo, was awesome. Camelo was extremely knowledgeable and took us to all of the sites associated with Pablo Escobar and provided very intriguing and surprising information about city of Medellin and Pablo Escobar.

        I HIGHLY recommend this tour with Camelo. You will not be disappointed.

        Exceptional guide and very informative. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Medellin! Camillo is really outstanding and is an asset as you go through different parts of the city. I can’t say enough kind words about his attentiveness, punctuality and knowledge of the tours he leads, whether the Escobar tour, Guatape, City, etc. we’ve done quite a few and always leave happy, smiling and well informed

        Just finished this tour this weekend (Aug 5th, 2022). My team did the tour with Camilo. MARVELOUS EXPERIENCE !! 5 stars 🌟 all the way! This tour with Camilo was very educational. My team learned intricate details about Medellín and it’s history that cannot be found in books or documentaries. The experience was priceless. We even had first hand accounts of events. We were able to gain tremendous insight and left with gems 💎 . If you come to Medellín, I highly recommend seeking out this tour and requesting Camilo as your tour guide, you wont be disappointed and you will certainly thank me later.
