“Hands Down Best Tour with the Best Tour Guide - The tour was truly an amazing experience. Our guide was Jaime and he was so knowledgeable. I learned so much in so little time. Jaime was truly one of a kind. Someone who keeps the tour lively and always has something to say. With how detailed and informative he was I feel like I could now host a tour of my own. He gave great insight of how the people of Columbia view Pablo Escobar, both the good and the bad, he presents you with all of the information and allows you to form your own opinion. He also knows the best spots to eat/party. The empanadas he showed us in Comuna 13 were some of the best I’ve ever had and for as cheap as can be. This trip would not have been as amazing if it wasn’t for our amazing tour guide.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-02
