    Too much free time. 2nd hacienda subpar. Little guidance on how to fill free time. Meal suggestions did not seem like typical, local places. No cultural shows, music stops. Itinerary did not contain enough time frames, overview of things in between destinations.

    The tour was amazing and has been been conducted in the professional manner. The full credit to our CEO Freddy who showed his exceptional organising and communicating skills at the highest level. Columbia has surprised me so many ways and I loved it so much. The only tidy complaint is the Wifi at Cartagena hotel for 4 star hotel on the big city...

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      Correct. No international flights to and from home is not included in the trip. We can request an arrival transfer on day 1 of your trip for an additional charge from the Bogota airport to the starting hotel of your trip. Correct. All our tours are conducted in English. Our guides or CEO's are local and from the area / country you are visiting. Their first language might not always be English, but tour itself will be run in English. Sadly we do not offer assistance with booking international fligths. This is something you will have to arrange and book yourself.

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Just one clarifiction about 3): I thing flight Cartahena-Bogota is internal Colombia flight, not international. Please checkagain and let me know!

    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2025

      What should have been stated is that we do not book airfare outside of the tour. This would need to be arranged by you.

    Asked on January 21st, 2025

    I would like to have a roomate so as not to pay the single supplement. Also, I will want to check into the hotel in Bogotá a day early. Should I make that reservation separately or can the tour company do that?
