Overview

The Pablo Escobar Godfather tour is the most sought out private tour here in Medellin. This tour takes you to sites situated in four counties to experience the last house he lived at, the house where he died on the roof, the yellow house where the show "Narcos" was filmed, the famous soccer field he built for the kids and the community, the cemetery where he is buried in the outskirts of Medellin, a visit to the Church Sanctuary where the Virgin Mary appeared and where Pablo Escobar and his hit men would go to mass to have their bullets blessed for "perfect hits", and one of his favorite restaurants where you can have a snack or relish lunch! For an additional fee, there is a Tour Upgrade Option to  “LA CATEDRAL”, Pablo´s Jail-vacation home, nestled high in the Andes mountains overlooking the city. Be one of the few people to visit what was once the most famous narco-compound in the World! Tour guides in other languages such as French and German are subjected to availability.

Focused tour, superb guide!

Published on Mar, 2025

The tour is focused in theme, but varied in angles. By visiting multiple sites, I gained a deeper knowledge. Our guide, Alex, speaks excellent English, possesses inside knowledge and offered very helpful service.

John was my tour guide and he was fantastic - he is a local who loves sharing his knowledge of Pablo Escobar and Medellin. His English was great and his enthusiasm was evident. I look forward to taking another tour with John!

Amazing experience

Published on Jan, 2025

An amazing trip, helped along by a wonderful guide Carlos. Carlos made this trip, he’s warm friendly approachable. No question too much effort. His English is impeccable. He gave us so much information on the history of the time. We loved every minute

A Great Tour!
