“Decepcionante!! Somos un grupo de 6 amigos. Pagamos 97,51 € por persona para este tour. Y viendo la calidad del mismo, nos pareció carísimo. El tour consiste en visitar el exterior de la fachada de la casa donde fue abatido Pablo Escobar, el cementerio donde reposa sus restos y la prisión llamada la catedral (visita del valle donde apenas quedan algunos restos). Escaso. Además, el guía dedicó más tiempo en expresar sus opiniones políticas sobre la situación actual del país y lo malo que es el presidente (que no nos interesa), que profundizar más en la vida del personaje de Pablo Escobar. Mención aparte, que no entendimos que nos requiriera…”
