    Tyler

    Asked on August 6th, 2026

    I am looking at this tour and wondering if some of the schedule or activities will be cancelled or different because of the Christmas and New Years holidays.

    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written August 2026

      Our itineraries are very flexible, So if one day we are unable to do a specific activity, they will move things around so you don't miss out! Travelling over the Christmas & New Years period is an exciting time to go! We would aim to make the most of all celebrations happening.

  • J

    Joshua

    Asked on December 14th, 2025

    I'm looking to book the Explore Colombia National Geographic Journeys trip. Is the flight from Cartagena back to Bogotá on Day 9 included in the trip price/itinerary? What's about airport pickup and drop-off in Bogota? I'd prefer a private room, but the extra $1,000 is steep. Any flexibility there?

    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2025

      All the internal flights in the itinerary are included in the tour price. An arrival transfer is also included however a departure transfer to the airport at the end of the tour would need to be added additionally. Unfortunately the price of having your own room is non-negotiable.

    What is single supplement? Would like to have phone number.

    Single supplement
    Travel Support
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written November 2025

      A single supplement is an additional charge that solo travelers may need to pay if they wish to have a private room during their tour, instead of sharing with another traveler.

  • D

    Dean

    Asked on September 24th, 2025

    What is the level of difficulty for this trip? Mostly including hikes. Also, do singles get to stay in room solo? And what is the solo fee?

    Single supplement
    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written September 2025

      The Journeys: Explore Colombia tour has a physical rating of 3 and this is on a scale of 1 to 5. This means it is about average and tours with this rating my include light hiking, biking, rafting, or kayaking in addition to walking. This tour is mainly rated a 3 for the walking and light hiking included in the itinerary. Most of our tours are based on twin share rooming. As a solo traveller you would be sharing with another solo traveller of the same gender on the tour free of charge. If you would prefer to add a single supplement, we can do so for an additional $1039 USD. May differ depending on dates!
