Excellent tour! - We had a great tour 'Pablo Escobar' with Ruiz from Bicitour. He was very attentive and shared his good knowledge of Pablo's times with us and his love for Medellin. It was another lovely experience with Bicitour.
Thank you so much guys!

Amazing Experience on the Pablo Escobar Tour! - Wow, just wow! My husband and I had the most incredible time on the Pablo Escobar Tour! We booked this tour because we were curious about the history of Pablo Escobar, and let me tell you, it exceeded all our expectations.
First off, our guide Carlos was the best! He wasn't rushing us through the tour like some guides do. Instead, he took his time, making sure we understood everything and answering all our questions. Carlos was super knowledgeable and honest, which we really appreciated. Definitely ask for Carlos when booking!
We learned so much about Pablo Escobar's life and the impact he had on Colombia. But what surprised us was that we also learned about Griselda Blanco, another fascinating figure from that time.
It's clear that the Colombian government wants to move on from this dark chapter, but we believe it's important not to forget history so we don't repeat it. This tour gave us a deeper understanding of Colombia's past.
Overall, we 100% recommend this tour to anyone who's curious about Pablo Escobar or just wants to learn more about Colombian history. Trust me, you won't regret it! 11/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
