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!

Casa Tayrona Los Naranjos

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.

Dear Keeley,
thank you very much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. I truly appreciate it — and I’m very happy to hear that you had another wonderful experience in Colombia overall. It was a real pleasure supporting you before and during the trip, and I’m glad everything ran smoothly. I’m especially happy to hear your kind words about your guides. Thank you as well for your constructive feedback regarding the coffee experience. I’m sorry that the tour ran longer than scheduled and caused you to miss your dinner reservation. That’s understandably frustrating, and it’s not the experience we aim to deliver. I will share this feedback directly with the location so they can better manage timing expectations and improve the flow of the experience going forward.

Thank you again for your trust, your kind recommendation, and your valuable feedback. I would be absolutely happy to assist you again anytime you decide to return to Colombia.

Warm regards,
Michael & The Chaska Tours Team
