Trip was well organized from the day first to last day. All drivers and tour guides arrived on time and were very professional and polite. I travelled alone and felt extremely safe. Country is stunningly beautiful. I enjoyed exploring nature and saw a lot of wildlife. I would recommend this tour anyone who enjoys nature and looking for some peace and quiet time. Thank you for this great adventure.Show more

This was a great tour through Columbia with countless highlights! We enjoyed the last 11 days very much, from receiving a lovely welcome bag, lots of good activities, tours, guides and beautiful accommodations! What could be improved is the flexibility for airport transfers in case one arrives a few days early or leaves later. The only negative experience in Columbia was with Avianca and their very disappointing service; Avianca's so-called modern cabin is the worst and most claustrophobic configuration possible - it's a shame for Columbian Tourism and as frequent flyers we can say with confidence that Avianca has the worst cabin standards in South America, even budget airlines offer a better service.Show more
