Professional, punctual, passionate about his craft and incredibly kind. I had the extreme pleasure of touring Medellin on a solo tour with Santi and learned so much about this magnificent city while having a lot of fun. His timing on subjects and his ability to answer anything is tour-perfect. Can not highly recommend him enough! -

Santi is a fantastic tour guide! We were with him for two and half days in and around Medellin and had a great time. He is so knowledgeable and passionately shares his love for Colombian customs and traditions. He also knew when we were saturated and just was quiet for a bit. Santi has friends - people and dogs - all over the city so be prepared to meet lots of locals which is really wonderful. He is also a great person and it was a privilege to get to spend those days with him.

I really enjoyed our trip to comuna 13 with santi
its was a tour unlike any other since the city is so different from anything you‘ve ever experienced.
Santi really managed to translate all the given surroundings of this special environment to the tour participants and I really loved the explanations he gave about all the different graffitis.
Ii would recommend going with him because he really introduces you to a place that used to be the world's most dangerous place.

Sailing into the sunset with Santi tonight was all at once joyful, funny, filled with song and smiles, and sincerely touching. Santi brings an enjoyment of life that invariably cheers our souls, expands our horizons, and exudes a gratitude for what is really important. The golden sun on the water complemented by dramatic clouds reaching into the Colombian sky were quite poetic; an experience not to be missed, a little moment to be remembered forever. Thank you, Santi for these unforgettable experiences.

Santi is very a joyful "alegre" guide and very knowledgeable. I like the fact that he tries to take us to different places within the city and not the usual tourist destinations. You get to feel like a local. Thanks.

If you have the chance to go on a tour with Santi, you are very, very lucky, indeed. Please do not hesitate; just go.
