About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- BrettH19670 contributionsA great disappointmentWe were very excited to go to a Colombian football game, paid over AUD$200 through Trip Advisor and received email confirmations. Sadly the tour operator did not arrive to pick us up. We contacted the tour operator who replied to say that there was no soccer game scheduled. No one advised us of this. While we have been advised that we will receive a refund, why did Trip Advisor accept a booking from us in the first place or not make any attempt to contact us if the game was scheduled and later cancelled?Written July 7, 2024
- Emanuele V0 contributionsThe Best Tour about Pablo Escobar history and MORE.Totally honest, probably the best tour of my life. I would recommend it to everyone because I am sure it will be unique (no spoiler). If you want to know all the story about Pablo Escobar and so a fundamental part of the story of Colombia, you have to do this and I am sure you will not to find something better than this specific tour with Diego (An amazing guide with an amazing story).Written June 10, 2024
- jonathanbO4886ZD0 contributionsAmazing Day Learning about The History of the era in time of Pablo EscobarThis was my favorite day I had in Medellin! Diego was an incredible guide taking me to various sites around Medellin with historical importance of a dark period of time in Colombia's history. His personal story and openness to share had me captivated the whole time. It was exactly the type of experience I had wanted to learn about what happened. If you think you know the whole story because of watching TV shows about Pablo Escobar, you don't! You need to come to Colombia and take this tour and learn the whole story and you will walk away with a friend in Diego and have had the most memorable day in Colombia!Written June 8, 2024
- Schoutendirk0 contributionsExceptional guide with deep knowledge and local connectionsDiego is an exceptional guide.. I had never done a tour in my life. But with him was one of the most special days in Medellin. He is a true local who has deep ties with the population and shows the real side of Pablo Escobar and the Medellin cartel... If you want to hear the whole story you have to call Diego. Not only is his expertise mega, but above all he is also a very cool guy. You got the perfect person with him.Written June 6, 2024
- orlandovelez3120 contributionsLot of CultureDiego recommended this one to us. It was really worth it. The views were amazing, breath taking. It was all fun, the climbing. He then takes you to the city where you learn a lot about the culture and history of the city that is Guatapé. He also has this one restaurant he recommended that has the best beans I’ve had in a long timeWritten June 3, 2024
- Z6697GUchristianh0 contributionsBest Company and Tour guide in MedellínAn amazing tour of history, nature, and community. This tour gives awesome insight of the city of Medellín and the history behind Pablo Escobar. Our tour guide Diego was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and consistent throughout the tour. When I come back, he will be the first person I call for another awesome tour. I seriously recommend this tour for anybody who has interest in history and the beautiful city of Medellín.Written June 2, 2024
- orlandovelez3120 contributionsThere’s always two side of the storyMan there’s no one better than Diego! He takes you into the story and the history. There’s always two sides to the story, and there’s so much that people get wrongWritten June 2, 2024
- AnjaF5830 contributionsVery special tour in MedellinWe did the combined Pablo Escobar and comune 13 tour. We didn’t really know much on the subject and never watched any of the shows that have been published. Diego told a lot of (personal) stories about the history and it was super interesting! He is a great and very interesting guy who has been through things that most of us can’t even imagine. It certainly is an experience that gets you thinking and will stay with you for some time.Written May 23, 2024
- Sunshine448181586190 contributionsA REAL Pablo tour in MedellinIf you are looking for a REAL Pablo tour.. then this is the one. You get the full story, start to finish, from all perspectives and it’s up to you to decide what you think at the end. Diego’s (our tour guide) life story is just as fascinating in itself and we can’t recommend him enough. There is no glorification of Pablo on this tour, just truths.Written April 2, 2024
- vernonc3040 contributionsFun TimesSAT tours took us to ATVing and we got to unload a little on the ATVs! Having done it before in other places I need some speed and these ATVs weren’t your typical small ones either. Fun Time! Definitely coming back!Written March 12, 2024
- vernonc3040 contributionsLook No Further - SAT Tours Is HereMoved to Medellin for few months before I actually decided to go on this tour because I wanted to get it from THE BEST! I wanted to hear the non-Netflix stories about Colombia during that time and get a real sense of what it was like. Diego went above and beyond for us with his breadth of knowledge of the history! Hands down highly recommend!Written March 12, 2024
- 462huntera0 contributionsUnparalleled ExperienceIf you get Diego as your guide, consider yourself lottery lucky. At first I was scared to go to Columbia, as I have heard how dangerous it can be here, however thanks to Diego I had no worries. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the history of Medellin, but he is also street smart. He had an unique way of always being with the group, helping with whatever we needed, but also giving us enough space for it to feel as if we were on our own. On the 2nd day I dropped my phone in the Hot tub and it was completely broken. I still had a week left here and was in panic mode. The minute I told Diego he reach it to his connects and in less than 2 hours I had a backup phone that he let me borrow for the remainder of my trip. Seriously would not have had even close to as good of a time if it wasn’t for Diego.Written March 2, 2024
- elisG4813RT0 contributionsHad the time of my life!I had the time of my life with my friends in Medellín. Along with the time of my life, we had the pleasure of having the best tour guide in the world in Diego. Not only did he show us around all of Medellín, but he took care of us inside and outside of the city. I learnt so much from his story and the experience of Colombia, and in thankful for him for that. I HIGHLY recommend Diego if you ever come to Colombia!Written February 29, 2024
- ethan23240 contributionsBest Trip Ever!Me and my friends had an amazing time and a 5 star experience in Medellin all thanks to Diego! This was the 2nd time coming back to Medellin and we made sure using SAT tours was the #1 priority! They go above and beyond to making sure we are all having a great time and having fun together! From hiking the mountain and jet skiing in Guadape to visiting comuna trece to going ATVing we couldn’t have asked for a better time than this. Thank you so much SAT tours and to Diego!! You guys are numero uno always 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Written February 29, 2024
- 553chasea0 contributionsBest in the businessHad a great time with Diego. Not only was he knowledgeable and a local, but also lived a crazy life with many stories to tell. He knows people everywhere you go and can get anything you need. My brother broke his I phone and Diego got him a new one the next day for cheap. Lastly Columbia is known to be a sketchy place but my favorite part of the tour with him is he made you feel safe everywhere you went so you did not have to worry about anything in the back of your mind. Would 1000% book him next time I’m in Columbia. There’s no better optionWritten February 29, 2024

Diego was an excellent tour guide. The fact that he was so knowledgeable about the artist and meanings behind each exhibit was amazing. The people in the community knew and loved him which gave us an even better experience, because we got to see them in a closer light. He speaks both Spanish and English so we were able to communicate openly with the locals. It was an amazing experience and we would recommend everyone to use him.

I never thought I’d have such an amazing experience in this place. Our local tour guide, who’s a former employee in the place where I work, took us to the place and explained in detail the whole history. Meanwhile there were some people taken to the same places, we were taken to some hidden paths, private pubs and art galleries and that was incredible. The passion he put into the story was what made this experience something unique.

We spent 3 weeks in Medellin and this tour was my favorite thing we did. Diego picked us up and drove us to the neighborhood. On the way he started to share the history and trama that this comuna has been through. His attention to detail about the graffiti, the people that live there and their stories as well as the artists is profound. He knows EVERYONE as you walk around and you can tell he loves the connections that he has with them.
You should not miss this part of Medellin, it is a neighborhood that his literally risen from the ashes and is now vibrant and full of life and hope. And the infrastructure is incredible, outdoor escalators!
And also the PABLO tour with Diego is a MUST. He is a master at storytelling, and has first hand knowledge about the events in Pablo's life.

This was one of the most authentic and humbling experiences I have ever been a part of. Not only were we able to experience the culture and history of Comuna 13 but Diego even gave us the opportunity to give back to the community by providing food and groceries to families in need. I highly recommend going mid afternoon and watch the community come alive at night. Oh and the food was PHENOMENAL. Easily my favorite part of the trip.

My sister and I took the Comuna 13 tour with Diego. He was a great tour guide, super knowledgeable about the community and city overall. He was accommodating and patient with us. It was also very comforting to see how the residents of Comuna 13 responded to him. I'm so glad we decided to take this tour with SAT tours. He was also a good resource for connections in other cities in Colombia.

I just finished the comuna 13 tour and I must say “highly recommended” as my title. Not only is Diego and amazing tour guide but he really puts the city of Medellin into perspective. It is my first time visiting Medellin and I already have fallen in love with this city. The art, the colours, the people, the history and most importantly the breathtaking views. Diego is your must have tour guide and he also takes amazing pictures. He tells an amazing story, very well worth it. The day was just amazing, I cannot wait until tomorrow for my next tour!

Hands down the best tour along with the best guide. If you're looking for a fun safe and reliable tour SAT tours is the best. They honestly treat you like family and when I say that it's because you feel safe and catered to.

I loved this tour!!Comuna 13 was beautiful. Diego, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable of the history of the community. He greeted community members and children as we walked through and saw the beautiful art work. The tour felt so personal, and we even had a lunch at this home turned restaurant. The food was delicious, the drinks were just as good, and the experience was more than I could’ve asked for.

This trip was made because of Diego and SAT Tours. After the horse riding tour, this is the only tour company I wanted to use. Everything I needed and wanted was available on this tour. My number one concern was safety and Diego provided me with that. Not one moment went by where I didn't feel safe. This is the one and only tour company I'd suggest to all my future stock traders to travel on. Thank you Diego for all your help.
