Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Woww. I literally booked this reservation right before getting onto a flight from CA to 🇨🇴. Didnt realize it was a private tour but appreciated it was! Our guide David was super informative and knows his history. The only thing I didn't like was the traffic. Lol. But it was peak time on a Thursday. I'm sure there was no way to avoid it.
I started the Netflix show Narcos but never finished it.
After the tour I started watching it in our hotel room 🤣
Highy recommend this tour. I hope

Hey brother, thank you kindly for your exciting review! I'm stoked that we made your experience a memorable and unforgettable one.
Thanks for traveling 10 hours just to do our Pablo tour!
We appreciate you for letting others know that we are super informative and that this is a private tour, not a crowded public bus tour with loud people coughing and sneezing all over the place...lol.
We are all about impeccable service and love our clients to death, like family.
Thanks so much for choosing the
#1 Pablo Escobar tour in Medellin with Medellin Travels!
All the best,
Alex from Medellin Travels

David Garzón helped me get set up for this paragliding tour and Ana is the tour guide who was so gracious and sweet for the whole paragliding experience! Ana made great conversation and had lots of helpful recommendations for authentic local experiences. I had an amazing time paragliding for the first time ever and it was a truly magical and unforgettable adventure. The tour company sets you up with a Go Pro so you can document your experience, and it was so exhilarating to fly high with the birds.
I believe Diego was the paragliding instructor, I felt safe with him as he has flown over 10,000 times. My only suggestion is to take Dramamine beforehand if you are prone to motion sickness (I will do this next time).

I had such an exhilarating time on this solo ATV tour! David Garzón was my tour guide, he was excellent at making the experience fun and seamless. I had plenty of time to race around the countryside on an ATV. If you are an adrenaline junkie and love thrilling experiences I would highly recommend this tour. I really want to go again!

David Garzón was our tour guide for this experience and he did an incredible job of explaining Pablo Escobar’s history. The Catedral was so fascinating and the view from the mountain was stunning. All the other sights we saw were equally impressive and awe inspiring. We were so stoked we got to meet Pablo’s surviving sister and one of his bodyguards! We even got photos with them and got to ask them questions. They both happened to be present at Pablo’s burial site.
David is very knowledgeable of Escobar’s history and the history of the cartel in Colombia. We really enjoyed all of his explanations and found him to be very thoughtful and insightful. We loved the tour so much in fact that we also did the ATV tour! Thank you David!

That was awesome! We learned so much about the real history with our guide, David. We really could not recommend this tour enough. It was great to have frank conversations about the Escobar cartel, visit La Caterdal, his grave, the place he met his demise, all of it. We were able to see a lot of Medellin and the stories that went with the barrios. Excellent tour.

I took 2 tours with Medellin travels. My first tour was Guatape with El Penol - a fun day - great views and an opportunity to experience a lively and colorful Colombian gem outside Medellin. There are many opportunities to take great photos, shop and eat delicious street foods and in cafes.
My second tour was the Pablo Escobar tour which included La Catedral. An interesting tour that visits many sites around Medellin that are part of the Pablo Escobar story and legend. La Catedral is worth a visit for the views alone, but the 'prison' is part of the Pablo story you have to see to believe.
Medellin Travels was easy to book with and communicate with. Everything was taken care of, including comfortable transportation, guide and and stops along the way for comfort, food and shopping.

This tour was exactly what we were looking for. Our tour guide Gustavo was amazing. He came to pick us up on time, the communication was great and he was professional. It rained at some point but he got multiple umbrellas ready and gave it to us, he also parked in convenient places.
He is very knowledgeable and explained things in a way that was interesting and engaging. This tour worth the money you pay for, for us it was important to have easy transportation and have flexible time to stroll around without stressing about time and following an agenda. If I ever come back to Medellin, I would use this company again and for sure ask for Gustavo to be our guide.

On time, friendly guides. The ease of travel between locations was good. However, I felt like the guide didn't offer a lot of information and when we asked follow up questions, the answers we received didn't always seem to add up (either they contradicted previous information or contradicted provided photos).

We took 4 tours (Guatape, private city tour, Communa 13, organic coffee farm) with this amazing tour guide over four days. Over that time, we felt deeply embraced by Ana's concern for the safety of each of us and her personal commitment to our learning about the history of Medellin and Colombia. As a journalist, the amazing Ana told the story of Medellin’s difficult history with nuance and honesty. Our group ranged in age from two years old to eighty, Ana brought her warmth and attentiveness to each of us. Her English is impeccable. When glitches occurred (the cable cars stopped functioning for a time) she found alternate solutions with calm and creativity, and even attended to our need for food. I could write a book, but will end by saying you will not find a better tour guide anywhere! The drivers were also friendly and responsive.

Can you accommodate 6 people for a tour of Medellin? If so, how long is the tour and how much will it cost?

Good afternoon,
The standard city tour has a duration of 4 hours. The normal cost is 75 usd per person. I can give you a discount of 55 usd per person. If you choose a tour option, such as incorporating the graffiti barrio with the escalators etc. we would add an additional 15 usd to each person. Let me know when you are thinking of coming down, as we get booked fast.
Have an awesome day!
Alex
