What people love about Food & Culinary Tours in South America
- Contrasts of Colombia
The Contrasts of Colombia went very well. The itinerary was well-organized, except for the lodgings in Armenia. While confortable, they were far from everything. Many hours wasted coming from and going back to Bosques del Saman Lodge. Also, clients would greatly appreciate to stay at least half a day longer in Popayan. On our last day there, we came back to town just as the museums were closing. And early the next morning, we were off to the coffee region.
- The best of Quito and surroundings
We had an amazing time exploring Quito and the surrounding area. Our tour package included a walking tour of historic Quito, a day in the cloud forest around Mindo, a day in the Cotopaxi National Park, a visit to the teleferico and Mitad del Mundi, and Papallacta for the hot springs. Our guide Omar Carrera accompanied us on all these excursions and was an excellent guide and driver. We had many laughs with him, traded stories, and learned a great deal about the history and current state of the Ecuador region. While in Quito, we also decided to book an extra trip to Otavelo and Cotacachi for some shopping. Rolly drove and accompanied us there and was a delight to spend time with. Such beautiful countryside and things to see! Tour arrangements were made through Claudia the travel planner and everything was well organized and communicated with a personal and thoughtful touch. We couldn’t be happier with this experience! Thanks Claudia, Rolly and Omar for an unforgettable time in Quito ?
- Cafe Colombia
Columbia is just incredible and so varied. From big cities, to hiking mountains, to colonial seaside towns we saw it all. And our leader was amazing!
