  • 7 Days Rainbow Waters & City Lights -  Colombia’s Wonders reviewer 1
    · August 27th, 2024
    It’s not even worth one star , most unsafe tour middle of jungle whith the most horrible raisist people who only treat you well if you Spanish speaker , First of all there is no clean water for you just muddy river water for your shower . Secound no power no wife no reception at all only from 4 o’clock to 5 . My roof was licking so bad due to rain but unfortunately they had no empty room to change my room and end up to make me to leave the tour at secound day and the didn’t return my 1200 $ money . They charge me for transportation but they didn’t provide me any type of transportation, they left me by the road middle of jungle where I could be raped or killed or ingerd by animal . Pleas do not book Nicky lodge at all . There is many lodge that can make your travel amazing . Also this lodge had promotion for ecuadorian people for 100$ and full of people who singing and clabb and play guitar all time whith loud music and destroyed the nature by their song. Pleas give favour your self and avoid this company.

    DO NOT BOOK WITH TOUR RADAR. Book when you are in Ecuador / Quito. We paid double what other people on the same tour paid for EXACTLY THE SAME EXPERIENCE. For 4D/3N it should cost you $270-$350 (excluding bus transfer) dependent on whether you go in dorm room or matrimonial room. We were stupid enough to book through here and it cost us a lot of money. Don’t make the same mistake as us.

    This trip was really unique. I stayed at the Nicky Lodge. You started every day early in the morning with hikes, canoe trips and really learned a lot about the animals and plants. The accommodations were really clean, the food excellent and you could, since no contact with the outside world, really switch off. The organization and the contact with Gabi in advance, was really very nice and professional. I really lacked nothing. Thank you very much for this trip!
