Great tour with lots of history and insight. Tour guide very hospitable
I did this tour in February of 2021. Our tour guide, Sil, provided one of the best, if not THEE best, tour experience that I have ever had.
Upon our arrival, Sil provided water and hand sanitizer for us. Sil first took use around Medellin and showed us sites important to the story of Pablo Escobar. We visited the site of one of his old compounds, his burial site, and the prison that Pablo built for himself. Throughout these site visits, Sil told us the history of each place as well as stories, and even videos, while riding in his van.
After lunch, we went Sil served as our translator and transportation to complete our covid test (this was not part of the tour; Sil did this out of the kindness of his heart).
We then visited the cable cars and were able to see thousands of residences and learn about the different areas that make up this beautiful city.
Last, we went to Comuna 13 and were ablet see the various shops, stands, and performers while also learning about the history of Comuna 13 and events from the past that makes it what it is today.
TL;DR - This tour was amazing and well worth the money. You will learn a lot and if you are able to request Sil as your guide, DO IT!!
