Colombia
Real Pablo Escobar tour. 150.000 Cob/p
Very interesting.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Very interesting we love it ! and also nice old car.s It’s a guided tour only really recommended 100 %! visit about two hours/paid 120,000 for adult and less than 11 years old free
Report Check-Invisited the museum this morning, Entry ticket is too expensive, the photos are shabby and the rest is really far-fetched, a lot of staff to take care of the visitors and the shop is like the rest of the shoddy objects. I regret my 25 dollars
Report Check-InIf you are a true tourist and Medellin is the only place you are visiting in Colombia, the place is ok. 120k cop for a basic tour and 200 for the full one, when you visit outside places. Watching Narcos or other show are much more informative, although the guide had some info that I didn’t know - don’t know if it’s true or not. Free parking is the only thing I can’t complain. Everything on the shop is very expensive.
Report Check-InThis is the house owned by nephew (Enrique?) and the guides call it a museum, which is a big word for mostly low resolution enlargements of photographs. The wet bike (which Pablo had to have after seeing 'The Spy Who Loved Me') is nice.
Guides William and Jairo take you through the life of Pablo in an entertaining way. They tell anecdotes and try their very best to paint a positive picture of this drug lord by stressing that he 'gave back' to the people and explaining about his extravaganzas.
With that, they go against council policies. The municipality destroyed the 8 story marble clad house of Pablo (in Feb 2019) and they seem to want to get rid of his legacy altogether. This tour shows the opposite side.
Optionally, the tour guides will take you to the site of the destroyed house and to the family's grave (in the nephew's bullet proof Toyota Corolla).
We paid a whopping 150,000 COP per person for the full tour (without the 'house and graveyard drive', it's 90,000 COP). I was disappointed that the guide had the heart to ask for a tip.
Report Check-InEasy driving, parking available onsite for all size rigs. $90,000 pp for a guided tour of museum in English. Excellent range of souvenirs. This is actually the house Pablo's nephew lives in. There are several interesting items here but most important is the stories the guide shares. Well worth the cost. If from here you drive to the cemetery which is about 20 mins away and then up to his prison which is about 30 mins from there you have pretty seen everything you need to see - and both of those sites are free.
