  • Private Service I Journey Through Colombia's Highlights: Bogotá, The Coffee Region, Medellín & Cartagena — Domestic Flights Included reviewer 1
    · August 1st, 2024
    What a fantastic trip. The agency did a fantastic job hooking us up with excellent guides in each location. Andrea, Lina and Guillermo all made the trip special and added something unique and memorable to each location. Like with many trips, the guides made the trip, and even when we had long travel days (and, to be clear, there were a couple - this is a busy trip) they were informative, funny, and helped us get to know Colombia so much better. We traveled with two kids (14 and 10) and their 70+ grandma, and everyone had a great time. The activities were a good combination of active, cultural, and artistic. We added on a couple days at Isla Mucura, which I'd highly recommend (Cartagena was so extremely hot we needed beach time afterwards). Would highly recommend!
