    The Ultimate Godfather Tour Experience

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an incredible experience on the Godfather Tour with Alex as my guide. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made the tour both informative and engaging from start to finish. This is an absolute must-do when visiting Colombia. Alex took me to all of the significant sites connected to Pablo Escobar while presenting the history in a balanced and factual way. I learned so much more than I expected. I was really looking forward to meeting Gloria, but I booked my tour at the last minute and, unfortunately, she was out of the country during my visit. That just gives me another reason to return! On my next trip to Colombia, I'll definitely be booking another tour with her. I highly recommend this company 100%. If you're looking for the real history and facts rather than myths or sensationalized stories, this is the tour to take. Thank you, Alex, for such a memorable experience!

    Response from the operator: Thank you Roxanne so much for this incredible 5 star review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting a seasoned traveler and Travel Legend from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago. Your Caribbean warmth truly shines through in your message, and the entire team at Medellintravels.com is deeply grateful for your kind words. We are thrilled to hear that Alex provided such a memorable, professional, and fact based experience. At Medellintravels.com, we pride ourselves on delivering the authentic history of Medellín, moving away from myths to focus on real events, so knowing you learned even more than expected means everything to us. As you mentioned, since it was a last minute booking and Gloria Escobar had an unexpected emergency that required her to be out of the country, we wanted to ensure your Private Pablo Escobar Godfather Tour was still an exceptional, top tier experience. Alex was fantastic, and he actually shares a special connection with Trinidad and Tobago as well, which made guiding you even more meaningful for him! Gloria is already looking forward to meeting you on your next trip to Colombia. Consider this your official invitation to return to Medellín we will be more than ready to welcome you back for another exclusive experience with Medellintravels.com. Warmest regards, Lina Mora Manager Medellín Travels

    Sensational Tour, a real Once Off

    I can’t say enough about how Professional & Knowledgeable my Guide for the Tour was. It is most certainly a huge highlight of my Holiday. I combined visiting Le Cathedral with meeting Pablo’s Sister Gloria (who is so welcoming and nice). The knowledge she imparted was sensational. I can highly recommend this Tour, and a Huge, Huge Thank You to Lina.

    Response from the operator: Hello Stephen, Thank you so much for this sensational review of The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing! Reading that the tour was a "huge highlight of your holiday" is the greatest compliment we could receive. We're thrilled you found Lina your guide to be so professional and knowledgeable. We take great pride in offering a completely unique experience. The combination of visiting key sites like La Catedral upgrade and the opportunity for you to experience meeting Pablo Escobar's sister, Gloria Escobar, is truly a one-of-a-lifetime unique experience and what we consider to be the real tour of this complex history. Gloria is indeed incredibly welcoming, and the knowledge she imparts is invaluable, offering a direct, personal, and authentic perspective you simply won't find anywhere else. Thank you again for choosing us, Stephen. It was a pleasure to share this profound history with you! Warmly, The team from Medellintravels.com @medellin.travels

    I had an incredible...

    I had an incredible experience on both tours I took, and I can’t recommend them enough! The first was the Pablo Escobar tour, which was absolutely fascinating. What made it truly special was the chance to meet Pablo’s sister, Gloria. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and even gave us a glimpse into their personal family album, something you don’t get to see every day. It was a rare and personal insight that added so much depth to the tour. The second tour was to El Peñol and the colorful town of Guatapé – and it was just as amazing. The views from the top of El Peñol rock were breathtaking, and walking through the vibrant streets of Guatapé was like stepping into a postcard. What really made both experiences stand out was Alex. He was extremely knowledgeable, full of interesting information, and clearly passionate about what he does. He made the first tour so engaging that I didn’t hesitate to book a second one with him – and I’m so glad I did. Overall, both tours were well-organized, informative, and memorable. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting the area!

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Raveena, for the incredible review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience on both of your tours with Medellin Travels. It means a lot to us that you found the Pablo Escobar tour to be so special. The opportunity to meet Gloria, see the personal family album, and gain a rare, authentic insight is something we are very proud to offer. We are equally delighted that you enjoyed the breathtaking views of El Peñol and the vibrant beauty of Guatapé. Alex is truly an exceptional guide, and his passion and knowledge are what make our tours unforgettable. We will be sure to pass on your kind words to him; it's the highest compliment to know he inspired you to book a second tour with us. Thank you again for your high recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! You can always find our tours at medellintravels.com. — Lina from Medellin Travels

    A must while its still available

    Very happy I engaged in this tour. Excellent, knowledgeable guide Carlos reveled a plethora of insider information and truths. Saw areas not on the typical tourist module, met and talked with lovely Gloria, saw new photos that gave a soft side of Pablo, and handled the actual original writings/will/notes of Pablo and family members. In addition, I clarified some rumored stories as false or true with Carlos and Gloria. When first arriving in Colombia with little knowledge of this history, I now have a wealth of information and understanding.

    Response from the operator: Dear Sharon! Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and fantastic review of your unique experience with Medellin Travels doing our tour "The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing"! We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the tour. It means the world to us that you found our guide, Carlos, to be so excellent and knowledgeable, revealing a "plethora of insider information and truths." We pride ourselves on offering an authentic and insightful experience that goes beyond the typical tourist modules, and your comments truly validate our efforts. We're especially delighted that you had the opportunity to meet and talk with the lovely Gloria, Pablo Escobar Sister and that seeing new photos helped you discover a "soft side of Pablo." Being able to handle the actual original writings, will, and notes of Pablo and family members is indeed a unique and impactful part of the tour, and we're so glad you appreciated it. It's also wonderful to know that Carlos and Gloria were able to clarify rumored stories for you, providing you with a wealth of information and understanding that you sought when first arriving in Colombia. Your review is a testament to the dedication we have to providing a truly memorable and educational experience. We hope to welcome you back to Medellín again someday! Warm regards, Lina from The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum tour medellintravels.com

    Incredible Opportunity

    Such an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in the Escobar family. Gloria was very welcoming and open to any and all question you may have about her, her family, or the cartel. I am very grateful to Medellin travels and Alex the guide/driver/translator for providing this opportunity.

    Response from the operator: Dearest Claire, thank you wholeheartedly for your warm and gracious review! Kudos for conveying to potential guests that this experience with Medellin Travels to the Escobar family penthouse was a once in a lifetime experience! It was absolutely delightful having you. We here at Medellin Travels love and appreciate such jubilant and candid guests like you! Also, thanks for your very in depth inquiries to Pablo's sister and confident, Gloria.

Last, thank you immensely for your explicitness in regards to your gratefulness to me and Medellin Travels, the sentiment is reciprocated. We genuinely love our guests. On behalf of all of us here at Medellin Travels, many blessings, we hope to have you back here in the near future. Warm regards, Alex from Medellin Travels Medellintravels.com @medellin.travels

    The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.

    How much does The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing cost?

    +

    Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.

    Is The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Medellín?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Medellín?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Medellín?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in The Official Pablo Escobar Meet the Family Museum private penthouse viewing?

    +

    Included: Transportation to the secluded Penthouse from your Hotel; Professional Insider guide; Guests can take pictures with Pablo Escobar's sister!; and Escobar family live in person to answer inquiries!.

    +
