“My husband and I arrived to Bogota for a wedding late in the afternoon. By chance, this company had an opening for the next day for a full day tour of Bogota. What I enjoyed the most was how personalized everything. Very professional and detailed. Communication was perfect, and I love how much they love their city.”
Ride Cartagena in a classic car with a bilingual historian, exploring the walled city, Getsemaní, fortress views, and colorful streets.
“Highly recommended! We had an amazing time exploring Cartagena in this charming car, which truly transported us back to ancient times while we discovered the city's most remarkable historical sites. The car itself is both beautiful and comfortable. Our driver was incredibly friendly and punctual as well :) Thank you very much!”
Review of Mambo Beach Club at Playa Blanca Barú, with transport, lunch, chairs, music, costs, beach conditions, and practical tips.
“This is the only bar on the beach that offers sunbeds without a parasol, and only these are included in the price. To be in the shade you have to pay 80k (or 50%) extra. The 30k meal voucher only buys you fried rice. If you want fish that's another 30k. Music is played very loud even in the morning so this is not the place for relaxation. You'll get a better deal elsewhere.”
Review of Cartagena’s private Totumo Mud Volcano tour, with early access, private transport, mud massage, lagoon rinse, drinks, and practical tips.
“This was a very unique experience. We enjoyed it but I think it is important to understand what you are getting into. We opted to go very early (6am) at the recommendation of the tour organizer. This was great advice since we really did have a private experience. I honestly think it would have been significantly less enjoyable if we had to deal with crowds or a large group in the mud at once. The climb to the top was quite manageable and their were locals their to help us with everything from getting in the volcano to bathing in the river afterwards. They even massage you while in the…”
Ride a chauffeur-driven Rewaco trike from Cartagena to old mining country and Portman Bay on a scenic, photo-filled private tour.
“This is such a good tour and experience, the trikes are good fun. We felt safe with our driver Michelle, and enjoyed the stops we made to explain a little about the area we were visiting. It was good to get out of the city and see the mountains, the old mining area and beautiful Portman Bay”
Review of Cartagena’s 5 Islands VIP Escape, with snorkeling, Rosario views, Cholón, private lunch, Barú beach time, and practical cautions.
“El tour no tenia nada de Premium, era un tour habitual donde habían demasiadas personas y nadie tenia su espacio personal. La comida era muy poquito, y no se podía disfrutar de la playa cómodamente, porque solo se podía utilizar el espacio que tenia el restaurante. El bus de retorno estaba viejo y sucio.”
Make the most of a Bogotá layover with private airport transport, Monserrate views, La Candelaria, museums, coffee, and local food.
“Excellent private trip. Highly Recommended. Our guide Luis Felipe is a highly edicated guide with profound knowledge of Columbian culture, history and folklore which expanded from ancient centuries to contemporary times. Luis suggested private routes allows you to make changes to meet personal interests and variety of layover period of times. Accurate and timely pick up from the airport and friendly unforgettable experience.”
Compare this private Rosario Islands boat tour from Cartagena, with snorkeling, flexible stops, lunch options, onboard comforts, and practical tips.
“We had a fantastic trip. Zenon and Ilan were a very friendly crew. The boat was in a very good condition and it featured nice things such as a toiletroom and a ladder to get out of the boat. We started the day off by going to the Rosario Islands, were we did some snorkling at different locations. Zenon and Ilan new all the good spots and we saw great fish, reefs and even a sunk plane. Besides the snorkling they told us some nice historic facts about the area. Afterwards they recommended us a good place to have lunch. After Lunch we went for the Island of Baru. Zenon…”

“Best way to go out and enjoy the night life in the City. Tomás made sure all of us were having the night of our life’s.”
Spend five days in Colombia’s Amazon with private jungle walks, river dolphins, Indigenous communities, Peru, and Puerto Nariño.
“Stepping into the Amazonas region is like stepping into a whole new world where everything revolves around the River. This tour went well beyond our expectations. Puerto Narina is a beautiful town far from Leticia, friendly, clean, and unique as it strongly embraces ecotourism. No motorized vehicles except a few tractors. It is located in an area where there is much to see by boat or on foot such as the many indigenous communities, the Loretoyacu River, and the 3 lakes associated with it. The birding and wildlife viewing is excellent! The 5 day trip is the best as you do and see so much. However, be in good shape…”
Cruise San Andrés in a private speedboat, snorkeling at Aquarium Key, visiting mangroves, shipwrecks, sandbars, and floating bars.
“Mario met us himself and took us to the boat with the 2 guides who were amazing. They accomodate us extremely well and the areas they took us were stunning and so much fun. The boat itself is exactly liek the photos. We had the most amazing day. The guides know everything about the area and will be with you helping you all day but also give you plenty of time alone too. Perfect day……thank you!”
Review of Makani Luxury Beach Club on Tierra Bomba, with boat transfers, pool access, timing, upgrades, costs, and practical tips.
“Beautiful beach club with great food and drinks! This definitely provides your moneys worth!”
Review of Cartagena’s Totumo mud volcano tour with medicinal mud bath, swamp rinse, hotel lunch, pool time, beach access, and practical tips.
“Le bain de boue était amusant et original, on a bien rigolé. En revanche, on était vraiment entassés avec d’autres personnes, donc pas très intime. Après ça, on se baigne dans le lac à côté pour se rincer de la boue. Mais attention : il y a toujours quelqu’un qui vous propose de vous laver, de prendre une photo, ou de faire autre chose — et tout est payant. À la fin, plusieurs personnes vous entourent presque de force pour réclamer de l’argent. C’est un peu agressif et ça peut gâcher le moment. Bref, à faire pour l’expérience, mais prenez de la monnaie sur vous !”
Pick a coastline, a valley or a coffee slope.
