This tour was such an amazing and memorable tour! Jorge was our tour guide and i 100% recommend him as the tour guide! Hes fluent in both english and spanish. We did the pablo escobar tour and the City of colombia tour with him and we absolutely loved every minute! It was a full day tour for both tours to be completed. He personally knew so many details that it would've been difficult to know had it been a different tour guide. Definitely book this tour and all for Jorge!!

Daniel, the guide, is knowledgeable. He hosted a tour of Communa 13 using a historic and ethnographic lens to illustrate socioeconomic evolutions. It was a deep education of a district I would have otherwise never had the opportunity to become acquainted

We do not intend to idolize Escobar or any member of the cartel, much less disrespect the Colombian people. Our purpose is to tell the truth, far from myths and fanaticism. focusing on the struggle and awareness of our brothers to show a new and improved Medellin. Our greatest desire is that you know a part of the history marked by the pain and suffering of the Colombian people, the perspectives, places and stories during this dark time for Colombia.

Terrific!!! Kevin was a great tour guide, very friendly and attentive to all the little details. My mom is vegan so he asked (while we were climbing El Peñol) for vegan options. My mom loved the restaurant. The coffee farm tour was organized well and was very informative. At no point did we feel like we were rushed and were able to fit everything well. From the climb, to the walking tour of Guatapé, to the coffee farm and the boat tour everything was really good. Highly recommend Kevin and his company, Inside Colombia!
