Although this was supposed to be the highlight at the beginning of our tour, we felt that the description of the activity and what was actually delivered did not match at all. The quality of the venue, the food and overall experience was less than acceptable. The food was more cafeteria quality (than top chef), and no wine/alcoholic beverages were offered. We would have preferred to skip it and do something on our own.

The tour coordination was not well planned as we were picked up from the airport by a driver who could not speak english at all and even though we explained that we were hungry, he communicated that there would be food on the farm. We asked it we could stop along the way to pick some snacks up and he did not. We were told that they would be selling typical Colombian snacks (home-made empanadas) and refreshments at the farm, but they were not. We did not eat anything the whole day, and the tour was so so. The facilities were being repaired, it was quite minimalistic, the hats and ponchos were re-used without cleaning....just overall lacked quality and substance. Another more established farm should be considered for future.

Mayelline, our Bogota Tour Guide was awesome! She was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and informative for us. We highly recommend her.

Sofia our tour guide in Cartagena was good, but we found her to less informed/knowledgeable than the other tour guides we experienced on this trip. She provided basic information but we found that she did not freely share information unless asked. Additionally, given how hot it was that day, we asked her to provide some breaks during the 3 hour tour, and instead of taking us to air conditioned locations, we simply stopped at various places along the street in the stifling heat so we really could not cool off. The home she took us to for the "ice cream" stop was quite dirty and the washrooms not acceptable. Overall we did not find this tour worthwhile.

Wow...what an amazing experience. Our tour guide was soooo knowledgeable about all kinds of things and was patient and thorough. He provided us with information on the flora, fauna, history...really enjoyable and informative. I would definitely recommend him.

Great hotel but not a great location. Be aware of the very loud noise on weekends as music is played until 4am.

Clean, modern, great location!

Beautiful, a lot of amenities, very clean. Wish there were more umbrellas available. Did not like how water activities were only available from 11am-1pm and only 1 per person.

Did not match description given to us, very short and missed several aspects

Ziplining was pretty short experience. Would recommend to try to time it closer to lunch so there isn't much waiting around. Rafting experience was really nice but little long. Not worth the 3 hour drive

Joi led us on a fun-filled, challenging and rewarding trek through the beautiful Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains to a beautiful and fascinating ruin of an indigenous village. The lunch prepared by the family living on the mountain was delicious. The refreshing and cool swim in the river was rejuvenating and exhilarating.

The staff at Coralina Island was very accommodating and helpful. The water was spectacular. They have a boat and a kayak available to use for no additional cost. It was the perfect way to end an active and busy holiday.

It was a pleasure to spend time with our guide Thomas and immerse ourselves in the energy of Medellín.

My whole family loved trying the street food of Cartagena as well as all of the tropical fruits and juices that we are not familiar with in North America. Our guide Nancy’s love for her country, food, and culture was infectious and rubbed off on us.

Visiting Bazurto market was one of the highlights of my time in Colombia. I am pretty sure we were the only tourists there. I felt like I was experiencing the true Cartagena. The sight of all the colorful fruits and vegetables; the sounds of a community coming together, playing music and doing business; the smell of the food, the heat from the oil and coals, all added up to an unforgettable sensory treat. Our cooking instructor, Gloria, led us through the creation of a truly memorable and delectable meal.

Peaceful and beautiful tour led by a local. Very authentic and another opportunity to see the real Cartagena. A great tour for bird lovers and watchers. A demonstration of how the locals catfish and an opportunity to do it yourself.

It was an awesome experience. We met our guide in a mall where many go for the "pre game". That was a great meeting place because we saw many people who were going to attend and the traditional clothing they were wearing to the carnival. Once we arrived at the carnival we were at a lively location. Super appreciative that we were located where it was covered overhead so to block the sun/heat to a certain degree.

Our guide Katherine was super friendly and had great explanations of the different places we visited. Very engaging and informative. She picked out some great places to eat.

We all had a wonderful time during this experience. My children enjoyed it so much, the salsa instructors were extremely nice and made this activity fun for all of us.

We all enjoyed riding the horses, especially my children. This was my daughter's favorite activity of the trip.

We had an amazing time in the Boquilla Mangrove tour. It was educational, relaxing and beautiful experience.

The musicians and dancers were amazing. The attention and service provided was great. The tamboleros provided us with lessons on how to play the different types of tambores which I thought was great. They also were very welcoming and encouraged us to participate in both traditional dances and playing the tambores.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen!

It was wonderful, however I think we expected to be eating with the family. Still a really neat experience to enter the locals home. Our hosts were fantastic, energetic, welcoming. The food was incredible as well. For timing purposes, and how tired we were that day.. this is the only thing we would have skipped. …but if you have time, it’s worth it!!

This was our favorite day, but I genuinely LOVE markets. This is a real locals market, very authentic. Shopping with purpose, and supporting the locals was the additional bonus!! Cooking was an assisted treat for my teenagers

Not easy, but not too difficult. Beautiful, peaceful. We loved how passionate our guide was!

It had an old charm. Staff were very friendly and kind. Location was wonderful.

Easy walking distance to everything

Let people know that they can swim when they arrive at the island

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

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

A beautiful location with private beach. We had Casa 1, which had one of the best views we've ever experienced in a hotel!

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.
