This private half-day Pablo Escobar Godfather Tour in Medellín lasts between three and five hours, depending on traffic, weather, and optional upgrades. The tour begins with a visit to the last house where Pablo Escobar lived and the house where he died on the roof. The guide explains the circumstances of his death and the different accounts surrounding it. Next, the tour stops at the house used for filming the TV series "Narcos." Visitors then see the soccer field Escobar donated and drive through the neighborhood where he grew up. The tour continues to Cementerio Jardines Montesacro, the cemetery on the outskirts of Medellín where Escobar is buried alongside family members, including his parents, cousin Gustavo Gaviria, and drug trafficker Griselda Blanco. Following this, the group visits a church in Parque de Sabaneta that Escobar and his hitmen used to bless their bullets before attacks. There is also a stop for a snack at one of Escobar’s favorite restaurants. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included but only available in the El Poblado or Laureles districts. The tour is led by a professional guide and is available in English or Spanish, with French, German, and Portuguese guides subject to availability. Two optional upgrades are offered. One adds a visit to Escobar’s sister’s penthouse and exclusive museum, where guests can view art, photos, and collectibles and participate in a sit-down question-and-answer session about Escobar and the cartel. The other upgrade includes a visit to La Catedral, Escobar’s jail located high in the Andes mountains overlooking Medellín, which served as a hybrid prison and vacation complex. Food, drinks, lunch, and gratuities are not included.
