It is the combination we are asked for most, and it makes sense: in one day you understand Medellín's hardest era and what the city did afterwards. This is how to plan it so neither tour feels rushed.
Updated 2026-09-29
The Pablo Escobar History Tour visits the places of the cartel era with context and respect for the victims: the neighbourhood Escobar built, the site of the Mónaco building turned into a memorial, Montesacro cemetery and the house where the manhunt ended. Comuna 13 Tour tells the other half: how the hardest-hit neighbourhood transformed itself with art, escalators and its own people. Together, in one day, you get the whole story.
The order we recommend is history in the morning and Comuna 13 in the afternoon: the day ends on the bright side of the city. If the mural photos matter more to you, it can be reversed, because the best light in Comuna 13 is before 11 a.m. You choose; we adjust the pickup times.
Before you go, it is worth reading Comuna 13: what to know before you go and what the Escobar tour really shows.
Each tour has its published price per vehicle, up to 4 people: history USD $110 and Comuna 13 USD $110. If you do both on the same day with the same car, message us for the combined price. The cemetery entry is optional; meals and tips for the artists are on you.
