When my friends suggested an organised tour of Columbia although I accepted, I had many reservations ,mainly the issue of security and my lack of knowledge of the Spanish language. My friends toured Cuba with Exodus, but as I had visited there in 2013 I met them in Bogota two days prior to the commencement of the official tour . My protracted flights Melbourne, Sydney, Auckland and an overnight stop over in Santiago and then the final leg to Bogota were well organised and I was met at Santiago and then Bogota by efficient and friendly Akron representatives. Our accommodation at Hotel Augusta was comfortable and the staff were helpful in assisting us to organise a tour of the Botanical Gardens and then the Emerald Trading Centre prior to our Exodus tour. Taxis are an extremely inexpensive means of traversing this large and busy metropolis. The presence of law enforcement personnel near the hotel and surrounding local was impressive and alleviated many of my preconceived issues The tour was interesting and informative and well organised which provided me with a fabulous photo opportunity. The scenery in the Cocora Valley was stunning and the delightful city of Cartagena was interesting. Our accommodation near Palomino situated in the rainforest and Caribbean Coast was fabulous and the staff obliging and quite delightful Our tour guide Juan Carlos Henao was extremely pleasant and his assistance to us was exemplary and his knowledge of Columbia most impressive and informative. We also visited the world class Gold Museum and inspirational National Museum located near our accommodation. I would not hesitate in recommending Columbia and Exodus Tours to my friends but I would suggest to take a course of Diamox tablets to allieviate the effects of the altitude as the altitude of Bogota is 2640 metres above sea level and may affect some individuals Hopefully I would like to make a return visit in 2018 and participate in another tour JOSEPHINE Goss visited in August 2017 Show more

The itinerary was good, visiting many parts of the country and transportation was timely both the airplane flights and the bus rides. Miguel, our guide, was excellent, very knowledgeable about the country and places we visited. Our one complaint was the communication with TourRadar. A storm was moving in and was set to affect our flight to get out of the USA. We had to move our departure up one day. We needed to add one more night’s stay at our hotel to our trip. Since this had all been planned through TourRadar we contacted them to help us make this adjustment. We messaged them on Friday, January 30, 2026 and didn’t hear back until we had been in Santiago for 3 days. Luckily the hotel we were booked to stay in prior to our tour starting had a room available for the extra night. We were expecting to have a faster reply and assistance than that!Show more
