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.

David was beyond amazing! We were with him a total of about 4 days and now he is family 😊 Our adventures consisted of everything from the zipline and Atv tour to the Escobar city tour and Hacienda Napoles. The zip line was crazy and scary fun for sure. Definitely a must while you are there. He warned us that the Napoles tour would make for a long day, which it did, but during the long drive there and back, it was windows down and music up. If we weren’t screaming out the lyrics to songs, we were chitchatting nonstop and getting to know each other. I think our favorite part was the Escobar city tour. David is everything that a tour guide/driver should be. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about all things Medellin and Colombia, but he is funny, caring, thoughtful…the list goes on and on. He knows all the best places to eat and all the best viewpoints along the way. He will not steer you wrong!

I was very impressed with the tour guide Marcello who knew so much about the history and objects at the national museum. His driver Alex also was great in explaining during the tour. They both showed me also other areas including parks, churches and other museums. I strongly recommend them to others. Friendly personalities as well.

I used Medellin services and Julio was my translator and driver. It was a productive day and Julio was very professional in overseeing that all paperwork was translated and stamped correctly in the business arrangement. At the end of the day we visited comuna 13, to see how it had turned around from a getto to a thriving community.
The business transaction is still on going and l have left Julio with a letter of authority, to act on my behalf. Well done Medellin Services

Went on the Medellin Paisa Tour on 29 Oct. with George, and had the best time. First of all, he was very much punctual in picking us up despite our last minute booking. Then during the tour itself, he was very knowledgeable about the places and facts he took us to. He gave us many tips on how to navigate Medellin on our own, and took us on a little food trip as well. Highly recommend asking for George if you book a tour with this company.

The hundred dollar per person package which they claim is 3-4 hours is only about an hour on the ATVs. After an hour of riding around, we were confused as to why we were heading back to where we started and when we asked the guy who picked us up why it was so short he said the 3-4 hours was including the pickup and drop off from Medellin. We were a group where everyone had experience but we traveled extremely slow to drag out the short route. You can find way better value elsewhere.

Me and Nicky booked this tour. Our tour guide Wilson was at hotel spot on time. Very friendly and informative about the days of Pablo, visiting the prison, grave and the end of Pablo with informative bits in between. Fantastic. Thanks for a great morning in Medellin.👍

I had the opportunity to visit Medellin for the second time in August 2016.
Before I left for Colombia I organised a private tour online through Medellin City Services – The main focus, Pablo Escobar & Griselda Blanco.
I’ve read all the books and seen all the documentaries, so I knew exactly what I wanted to see and where I wanted to go.
I emailed Camilo (Service Coordinator Medellin City Services - info@medellincityservices.com) a comprehensive list of places I wanted to visit, he was more than happy to accommodate.
My guide was Carlos, a former Colombian Police officer who served during the height of Escobar years.
The great thing about this tour is that it did not come across as rehearsed or regurgitated from a book. Carlos, as a survivor of this violent period in Colombia’s history spoke about real experiences and voiced real opinions.
The main highlight for me was visiting the remains of ‘La Catedral’. There is not alot of information online, so I wasn’t sure how accessible it actually was.
As we approach the grounds you get the feeling that it is not necessarily open to visitors as a “Pablo Escobar” tourist spot.
The site is now run as a monastery, my guide Carlos seemed to have a good rapport with the security at the front gate so very few questions were asked. As he walks you through the grounds he goes through the history of the former prison, various stories associated with Escobar, his time there and ultimately his escape. The place is still pretty amazing! My advice is don’t stop taking photos :)
The entire tour took around 4 hours, in that time we visited The Monaco Building, La Catedral, Pablo Escobar & Griselda Blanco’s Grave, Cardiso - The Butcher Shop were Griselda Blanco was shot and killed in 2012, And The safe house where Pablo Escobar was killed.
Overall the private tour was well worth the $75USD, I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the subject. A great day out!

We had a really interesting tower. We visited all of the main sites of interest. we visited the house where Escabar was killed, we visited the cemetery and best of all we visited the cathedral, ‘the prison’ where he lived for a while. Our guide Johann was very interesting and gave us a view on Escabar about how the Colombians felt about him. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.

People in Medellin are amazingly gracious, the food to die for and the scenery is breathtaking. The dangerous days are behind this great city. Common sense is key though. Like any other city in the world, keep your eyes wide opened and relax. Lots to discover in the spring like city!
