Fun! Our your was just the two of us, but I don’t think any of his get that big…this is a plus when navigating the small streets of old town. Just over 2 hours, well worth the cost.”

“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).

Mención aparte, que no entendimos que nos requiriera…”
