Colombia Travel Agents

Guides were knowledgeable and very kind. All of the tours that we arranged were informative.
Cartegena: hit the highlights- really enjoyed the street food tour. Kayaking lovely but would be good to know that you are just going from one to point and back between land and island. Fishing was informative and a pleasant ride through the mangroves.
Santa Marta- Sebastian was a very articulate and knowledgeable tour guide. I feel we got an excellent tour. It was really nice to see something outside of Cartagena. And it was cooler.
Aaron was excellent and so knowledgeable. The highlight for us was the home that attracted so many beautiful birds. And we had an excellent lunch. Coffee plantation was OK but it would be good to know that we would not see any active work at the factory nor did we see a field of coffee plants. Waterfall lovely but could skip that.

An exposure to a whole different level of life - not just in the town, but of course the fishing community itself.

Nature, Waterfalls & Coffee Farm in Minca

Colombia

I would include more stops to see the birds and butterflies. The waterfall has a lot of steps so be prepared.

Having just completed our nine day trip in Colombia I can provide some thoughts.
I have to say that I didn’t know really what to expect and what I would see in Colombia given the limited images and news about this country. Narcos and Juan Valdez commercials can only go so far. Colombia and its cities far exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed each of our guides and those who assisted along the way for days like Bike Tour and Gold Museum in Bogota, to the waterfall and organic farm lunch in Medellin.
I will note for me specifically that this was the single most impactful visit I have ever had to a museum. Seeing the gold artifacts through the eyes of an indigenous people was very moving. The Salt Cathedral also was absolutely stunning in size and scope.
We didn’t just get Instagram worthy pics, we heard perspectives, and listened to new ideas and saw glorious sites. I thank everyone involved in introducing South America and Colombia to me. You are a tough act to follow. I will recommend Kimkim to family and friends (they have already gushed about the pictures) and I suspect and look forward to engaging with you further for future adventures with Kristin.

Many thanks once again for making the start of 2026 so memorable!!! Cheers and Happy New Year to one and all.

Our local specialist Michael was an excellent resource before and during our trip. A few last minute changes needed to be made with transportation & a tour we were booked for and he was very accommodating, and quick to respond. The trip went very smoothly and all of our guides were punctual and polite. The only tour we booked that we were not happy with was the coffee experience in Cartagena, only because the tour was listed to run from 3:30-5pm with walking time, and we did not finish util closer to 7pm, which caused us to miss a dinner reservation. Aside from that we especially loved our guides Eduardo & Juan Jose and would recommend them to anyone coming to Colombia. ALL of the accommodations were excellent!

Activity Review

Flavors of Coffee in Getsemaní

Cartagena

Unfortunately, this ran almost two hours longer than expected. We would've loved the one hour version we signed up for, but by the end of this we were uncomfortable in our seats and no longer paying attention.

Quality of Experience

The overall experience was fantastic! The service, planning and recommendations were excellent and the app made booking and adjusting things so easy. Highly recommended!

Michael helped us plan a wonderful trip for our family. We spent 12 days travelling throughout Colombia. The amount of days spent in each city that were planned was perfect and our hotel accommodations were all excellent. One of our favourites was Casa Lola in Cartagena. We had an unbelievable room. All the guides and drivers were timely, knowledgeable and helped us enjoy our experiences in the country. The recommended excursions were fantastic and we enjoyed seeing as much of the country and learning as much about the history of the country and people as we could in just under two weeks.

I would definitely recommend Chaska Tours for your next adventure in Colombia.
