    This was my first experience both in Colombia and also with travels. The pace was great. The county is beautiful and there was a great mix of relaxation, fun and adventure! I believe that Carolina our tour guide was so calm, inclusive and cultivated an incredible experience for the whole group. She developed a great team of local guides supporting history and cultural information and made sure we all felt comfortable and connected. I hope she hosts other tours so I can attend but recommend this tour to anyone!

    Had the best time on this tour! Our group was so lovely, we all got along so well and made some amazing memories. You tick off a lot of places in Colombia while also having some well needed chill days. Would definitely recommend!

    Columbia is such a hidden gem! I would never have thought this country to be so beautiful from the people to the culture. This trip is a must do of travelling South America. If you have the pleasure of having kro as your tour guide you will have an amazing time. All local tour guides have been the best I don’t believe I could have had anymore of a better time.

    Colombia has been even better than we imagined and we’ve learned so much about the culture and history. The tour has a really great mix of busy days versus chill days to recharge, and not too many big travel days. Our guide Karo was INCREDIBLE! So helpful, kind, and positive. The food was amazing, the people were amazing, the weather was amazing. Couldn’t recommend more.

    Had an amazing trip! My tour leader, Carolina, was super fun, friendly and made me feel safe and looked after at all times. This tour opened my eyes to the real Colombia and changed my predetermined view on it. I felt very safe and really recommend this tour if you want to explore Colombia and get to know its history.

    I recently completed a 12-day tour in Colombia, and it was my first time doing group travel. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience—largely thanks to our tour guide, Carolina. She was the sweetest, most genuine, and effortlessly cool person. More than just a guide, she felt like a friend. She kept us organized and on track without ever making it feel rigid or overly structured. Instead, she made each day feel like we were just a group of friends exploring the beauty of Colombia together. Carolina set the bar incredibly high for future travels, and I’m so grateful for the memories she helped create. 💛💙❤️

    Columbia 🫶 I've travelled most of the world and this tour was hands down my favourite! So much we seen in a short amount of time. Never once felt rushed. Carolina our tour guide was more than just this! She was our friend. Everything went so smoothly, never once felt unsafe, bored or worried. Lots of love for Columbia, and Carolina. If your blessed to have her as a guide then what an experience ✨️💗

    Tyler

    Asked on May 11th, 2025

    Can you provide an official invitation letter to help me apply for a visa? Is it possible to process the visa first, and then I will pay the full amount after the visa is approved? I want to confirm the visa approval before making any payment.

    Visa
    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten May 2025

      We can provide a cover letter for your visa application but this can only be done once your booking is confirmed as we need a active booking ref. The full payment is due at this stage to get your booking confirmed.

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      If my visa is denied, what happens to the money i paid for this trip? Will it be redunded?

    • TruTravelsOperatorWritten May 2025

      We do not accept any responsibility for visa applications and the processing times surrounding that. If your visa application is declined, we cannot issue refunds for the trip as visa applications are not a service we offer, and therefore is not our responsibility. The deposit is non-refunable, and the full monies are lost if the trip is cancelled with less than 60 days to go from the trip starting. We can consider a date change as an option, but we can go through that as an option as and when necessary. You will need to contact us to let us know if you are wishing to change the date of your trip, and we will need to then look into the relevant fees etc from there.
