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 football 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 favourite 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!
