What people love about Colombia Tours for Seniors
- 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
Overall, the tour was good and enjoyable, but there are several points I’d like to highlight. There was too much free time in places where there was little or nothing to do, or stops so short that it was impossible to organize any meaningful activity. For example, arriving around midday and leaving the next morning at 11 a.m. in locations like Minca or Taganga did not make much sense, as there was not enough time to plan excursions or fully enjoy the destinations. A better approach might have been to stay longer in Santa Marta and offer optional excursions from there for those interested in visiting nearby places such as Taganga or Minca, which are very close. Another issue was the number of local guides in addition to our CEO. This resulted in significant extra expenses due to tipping expectations. The amount of free time throughout the trip also felt excessive. Hotel locations could also be improved, as some were not ideally situated. That said, I want to emphasize that Miguel was an excellent guide. He clearly enjoys his job, and it was a real pleasure traveling with him. The group dynamic was also very good, and we got along very well. Thank you for taking this feedback into consideration.
