What people love about Colombia Tours for Seniors
- Colombia Express
The tour was very well organized and our guide Luis was so great. We‘ve seen so much
- Journeys: Explore Colombia National Geographic
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.
- Bogota, Medellin & Cartagena - 8 days
Overall the trip was good and most of the area were covered as described in the document. However there no messages or communication during the trip except for the daily activity times. We were expecting some WA communication from the local tour company on regular basis. There was a phone number provided in the document but did not get any response in questions via WA. There should have been a single contact person available to contact via WA throughout the trip and just relying on a printed document.
