What people love about Colombia Tours for Seniors
- Journeys: Explore Colombia National Geographic Journeys
This tour was a wonderful experience. I particularly enjoyed the coffee farm and the Cocora Valley tour. Medellin was fascinating. There was a good mix of structured and unstructured time. Our guide, Franklin, was resourceful, knowledgeable, and charming. The group itself had a broad mix ages and nationalities. I would go again in a heartbeat.
- Colombia Express
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...
- Classic Colombia
I absolutely loved the tour on all dimensions. Our tour guide Jairo was amazing and just made Colombia feel like home. He was very agile in responding to new dynamics despite the COVID-19 situation and made sure that we all had an impeccable experience. Colombia is also a beautiful country that is full of gems to see and experience, beautiful people and a cheerful spirit that overwhelms you wherever you go. The country's attention to hygiene is exemplary and made me feel safe traveling during COVID-19 times. It has been a great experience overall and I will highly recommend this tour to my friends.
