Is there any solution for expensive flights? What type of tourists are booked? Age? Nationality? What hotels?

We have 3-star hotels accommodation that might help to be less expensive. We usually work with hotel chains like IBIS. This multicity circuit is perfect for all ages as we adapt to everyone's preferences and pace. Take into account that this tour is private so you won't be traveling with a group but on your own. We will handle domestic flights, arrival and departure transfers, tours, breakfasts and lunches and hotels.

Are all tours guaranteed to depart or is their a minimum number of guests before it is confirmed? Are there any tours in January guaranteed to depart?

We guarantee all departures and we do not have a minimum number of participants.

Can you confirm there will be a guaranteed starting date for both those tours on 3 December as our dates may not be flexible. Also with the Cultural tour, its not clear when there is the transfer from the central area to Cartagena. Can that be clarified. I assume a flight and it's included in the cost? Also, Is the time of the flight back to Bogota on the last day flexible?

The tour 100% can start on December 3rd, the tour includes Domestic flight tickets (also the last one back to Bogotá), 4* hotels in double standard room with breakfast, lunches (except in the free days), all fee entrances to the activities, private land transportations, private guide per destination and risk insurance. Not included dinners and lunches in the free days.

Great itinerary, well planned. We saw a lot and we loved it. Very nice 4 stars hotels which are close enough but not exactly in the downtown of each city. If you prefer the hotels to be in downtown, you can ask the agency to do so, but be wary that it will be very noisy in downtown. Private tours every day were organized and transportation drivers and guides were very friendly and helpful. Internal flight tickets were included and transfers to and from the airports were covered. All in all, we loved it! P.s. Although the tour is open for public and you might be part of a group, but most likely you will be by yourself / no one else in the group. Being part of a group can be fun but can also be daunting. Being by yourself makes the trip more customized to your needs and preferences, and much faster. I definitely recommend this tour. Worth it!Show more

  if we choose the 10 day trip, can we stay an extra day in Cartagena and get the flight back to Bogota the next day?
- Gran Colombia ToursOperator•Written June 2024
  There is no problem you can add an extra night on the last day. Please keep in mind if your arrival flight is at the evening you should add an extra night too at the beginning.

  Traveler•Written June 2024
  With the first day, what is the latest time we would need to be available to start the tour? We are probably coming from Villa de Leyva by taxi or similar on 2 December. We were going to stay in Bogota that night but perhaps we could start the tour on 2 December if we got to Bogota reasonably early.
- Gran Colombia ToursOperator•Written June 2024
  We can start if you arrive in Bogotá before noon

  Marina
  Traveler•Written June 2024
  From looking at the itinerary, it appears the transfer to Cartagena would be on day 8 of the tour (9 September if we start on 2 December). Would it be possible to tailor the tour for us so we leave the tour on that day and return (presumably fly) back to Bogota? What would be the cost per person (in either $US or $Australian - please specify).
- Gran Colombia ToursOperator•Written July 2024
  We recommend our 8-day tour of Bogotá, Medellín, and Cartagena.
