Can you upgrade the lodging to at least 4-star hotels and add a day in Medellín for the Flower Festival?

At the moment, I'm checking availability for hotels and all services for your August trip, especially in Medellín during the Flower Festival season. I'm also reviewing the best options to include the specific dates you would like to experience the festival and the atmosphere of the city during this special time of the year. Tomorrow, I will send you the updated proposal with all the details according to your preferred accommodation style and travel dates. August is one of the busiest months in Colombia, particularly in Medellín because of the Flower Festival and also in Cartagena, where hotels and services tend to sell out very quickly. For this reason, once I send you the updated program, it will be very important to confirm the services as soon as possible in order to secure availability and the best options for your trip.

Will it be a private tour for the two of us or as part of a group with others?

This tour is private, exclusively for the two of you, with no other travelers joining. This allows us to offer a more comfortable, flexible experience fully tailored to your interests. The date you mentioned, Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026, is available. Also, if you wish, we can customize the trip adjust the pace, activities, accommodation style, or add special experiences based on what you're looking for.

I am extremely interested in this tour, but it is outside my budget. Is there a cheaper option to share a room with another traveller rather than having a private room?

At the moment, it is not possible to share a room with another traveller for this departure. However, I would be very happy to help you reduce the total cost by adjusting the itinerary. We can remove or change some activities, or use more budget-friendly options, while keeping the main highlights of the trip.

We work with some of the best standard category (3*) hotels, carefully selected to ensure comfort and great service during your stay. If you would like, we can also arrange an upgrade to a higher category hotel.

This was a great tour! We visited Bogotá, Medellín, Santa Marta, Tayrona National Park, and Cartagena. My highlights were the tour of District 13 in Medellín, the hike in Tayrona, and the cooking class in Cartagena. I would recommend adding in extra days if you have the time because traveling between cities uses up a lot of your day. Diego was a great help with planning and adjusting our itinerary as needed. He also got back to us quickly if we needed anything while we were on the trip. The location of our hotels was great and we really liked the guides we had in each city. We never felt unsafe. Remember you need your passport and proof of yellow fever vaccination to enter Tayrona! The country is beautiful and I wish we could have seen more of it!Show more

Hello Sarah! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this review, it truly means a lot. I’m very happy to know that your journey through Colombia was meaningful and that experiences such as visiting Comuna 13, hiking in Tayrona, and taking the cooking class in Cartagena stood out. These moments capture so much of the culture and diversity of the country, and it’s wonderful to hear that they connected with you. I also appreciate your kind words about the planning and the support during the trip. It’s great to hear that you felt safe and well accompanied by the guides and that the hotel locations worked well throughout your stay. Colombia has so much to offer and I’m grateful we could share a part of it with you. Thank you again for sharing your experience! Wishing you all the best, Diego from Responsible Travel in South America

Hello Bradley, It’s wonderful to hear from you! I truly enjoyed assisting you with your recent journey to Colombia, and I hope it left you with unforgettable memories. Hopefully, this experience has sparked an even greater curiosity to explore more of South America. Just a quick note—along with Colombia, I also specialize in trips to Ecuador and Peru. If you’re considering discovering these incredible destinations, I’d be delighted to help! Regarding your stay at the BH Bicentenario Hotel, I appreciate your feedback and regret that it didn’t meet expectations. Your experience is extremely important to us, and we’re already taking steps to ensure future stays are seamless. On a brighter note, I’m so pleased that you had the opportunity to immerse yourself in Colombia’s rich culture—it was a pleasure assisting you throughout. I look forward to staying in touch and helping plan an even more remarkable journey for you! Best regards, Steven and Responsible Travel Team

An Unforgettable Adventure: Responsible Travel’s 10-Day Galápagos Tour If you’re looking for an immersive, ethical, and awe-inspiring way to experience the Galápagos Islands, Responsible Travel’s 10-day tour is an absolute dream come true. Even before we arrived our contact Jeferson Paucar, from Responsible Travel, was so helpful. Quickly answering questions and assisting with arrangements. Then from the moment we arrived, every aspect of the trip was carefully curated to showcase the islands’ breathtaking biodiversity while prioritizing responsible tourism and conservation. The itinerary struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. Snorkeling with sea lions, marine iguanas, and sharks felt like stepping into a nature documentary, while guided hikes with experts brought us up close to giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and lava lizards. Every guide was passionate and deeply knowledgeable, sharing insights about the fragile ecosystem and the importance of sustainable travel. Accommodations were comfortable, eco-friendly, and locally owned, reinforcing the company’s commitment to supporting island communities. The small group size made the experience feel intimate, fostering camaraderie among fellow travelers while minimizing our environmental impact. Perhaps the most rewarding part of the trip was knowing that our journey directly contributed to local conservation efforts. Responsible Travel partners with local organizations to ensure that tourism benefits the environment and the people who call the Galápagos home. By the end of the 10 days, I left not just with incredible memories and stunning photos but also a deep appreciation for this extraordinary archipelago and the importance of protecting it. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that’s as enriching as it is responsible, this tour is the way to go. I can’t recommend it highly enough!Show more

We look forward to welcoming you back in the future and providing you with more incredible experiences. Best wishes! Jeferson and the Ecuador Galapagos Travels Team.
