Our family very much enjoyed our trip to Colombia, which included Cartagena, Las Islas del Rosario, and Barranquilla, and working with Cristina and KimKim made it seamless. If there was any concern, they were available quickly to help. I enjoyed the personal contact with Cristina throughout the planning to develop a trip that met our unique requests. It took a big load off the time it would have otherwise taken us to plan such a trip. We will have our memories for a long time. Gracias a todos!

Hotel Review
Hotel San Pedro de Majagua
Isla Grande

Unfortunately, the hotel did not have running water when we arrived and it was only fixed in the early evening. This left a bad first impression. It is a lovely hotel and the management staff provided some comped appetizers, but it was an unfortunate incident.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Staff
The staff were very kind and attentive.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Initially it was not clean because of the water issue. The water never seems to come on full force across the island due to the way the water system works on the island.

We enjoyed very much the consistency in tour guide and driver - Gustavo and Julio were terrific!

As before the driver is 5 stars, though the van was a bit outdated. Julio made it work though!

Guides, Drivers and Staff
Gustavo and Julio took wonderful care of us. Muchas Gracias!
Transport
The driver was excellent! The van itself could use an upgrade, for example, not all the seatbelts worked.

This was a tailored tour and we appreciate very much it being able to happen - Gracias!

Quality of Experience
We had a nice mix of personal visits, and sightseeing.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
I think we tried to do much much in one day. We were rushed at the end and we left Barranquilla in rush hour and the traffic was bad.
Transport
The van was nicer than the one in Cartagena - more modern and all seatbelts worked. However, the driver was rushed at the end and I could tell he was upset as he was late to his next job.
