  • D

    Dan

    Asked on October 31st, 2025

    We are interested in joining the Caribbean Colombia Express tour on February 11. Can you give me an idea of how many bookings you have on this tour to date and what the average age would be? We are seniors and prefer to be in a group with similar folks. Can you tell me if there is a possibility of getting help or advice returning from Santa Marta to Cartagena at the end of the tour? We want to visit Islas Rosario after the tour ends on February 18.

    • G AdventuresOperator•Written October 2025

      Currently there are 2 people over 55 booked on this trip. Past travellers who have completed a survey will get 5% off the full priced G Adventures trip. If the trip is already on sale, then the 5% does not apply as we only allow one discount per booking. To get from Santa Marta to Cartegena would be via local bus. It around a 5 hour journey and you would need to book this independently.

    Daniel

    Asked on April 1st, 2024

    I see the tour is advertised for $1,612--but when I open the link, it gives me the original price. What happened?

    Price / Availability
    • G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2024

      The sale that you are referring to finished on the 31st March, so you have needed to have made your booking by then to get the sale price.
