What people love about Bogota to Cartagena Tours
- Contrasts of Colombia
Another exceptional holiday in a country that was fascinating to see before tourism spoils it too much. Very well organised, a very good tour leader and we did not have a single complaint.
- Journeys: Explore Colombia National Geographic Journeys
This tour was a wonderful experience. I particularly enjoyed the coffee farm and the Cocora Valley tour. Medellin was fascinating. There was a good mix of structured and unstructured time. Our guide, Franklin, was resourceful, knowledgeable, and charming. The group itself had a broad mix ages and nationalities. I would go again in a heartbeat.
- Colombia Express
A good introductory tour of Colombia. Standout experiences were the walking tour around central Medellin and the optional visit to Comuna 13 in Medellin with a guide to explain the history of Medellin's troubles and the origin of the street art. Be sure to add additional time in Bogota as the trip spends virtually no time there and the city boasts a wonderful Gold Museum, the Botero Museum and more. Also know that Bogota is about 8,000 feet above sea level and you may not feel great until you get used to the altitude so some extra time helps there too.
