We spent 2 weeks in Medellin and the coffee growing region of Colombia. Michael helped us create the itinerary based on our interests. With his excellent planning were were able to visit a variety of places and have many different kinds of experiences and learned a lot about Colombia, it's people and history. We especially liked our private tours with Paula in Jardin and with Carlos in Salento.

Hotel Review
Hacienda Venecia
Manizales

We stayed here two nights. It was in the middle of a coffee plantation and was a beautiful and serene setting. Our room had a terrace where we could sit and watch dozens of different types of birds. The hotel offered a meal plan for guests so we were able to take all our meals on site. Food was delicious and well prepared . There was a lovely pool and a coffee bar. Staff were friendly and efficient.
