Pablo Escobar and dis 13 - It was an unusual day, Oskar took us to the world of Columbia drags Cartels and the way they became so strong.
The tour to dis13 was also interesting and open our minds to the way people behave like in civil war.
The past and present times are involved by memories and Meaningful graffiti

Best guide in Medellin - I spent 4 full days with Oscar, nice guy, friendly, cool, punctual, easy going and we became friend. I did several tours with him including the one regarding the story of Pablo, I did not come to Medellin because of Pablo but I said, now I'm here and I want to know what happens, Oscar explain me everything, he knows a lot about this story even if he did not live during this period, he read lots of books from different point of views, family of Pablo, friends of Pablo, people from Colombia he also knows lot of people who lived during this period, so he will share what he knows from this period and he knows a lot, he even had for me a meeting with Pablo's brother, Roberto, it was a short but really nice interview. It's a great tour which has to be done if you are in Medellin. It's now part of the story of Medellin. Go fo it you won't be disappointed.

Best trip in Medellin! - Oscar picked us up at a flexible time in the afternoon at a location decided on the day, his knowledge and enthusiasm throughout the tour was second to none as he talked us through the rise and fall of the Medellin cartel and Pablo Escobar himself. We visited key sites including the house Pablo was hiding in before his death, the rooftop where he was killed, his grave, the prison he built for himself and his old family home. Other tours offer the same itinerary and are nearly 4 times the price!! I would highly recommend this tour and Oscar himself! A++++ :) :) :). Thanks!
