    I would highly recommend this tour. It covers a lot of Colombia with a wide level of experience and knowledge shared with the group. JP made the whole trip really enjoyable and easy to navigate the plans. All the day tour guides were brilliant and all of our questions were answered. I've come to love Colombia and I would recommend traveling to this country with everyone I share travel stories with!

    The trip was amazing and we experienced things we wouldn't have done alone such as the visit to the hostel in Minca to watch the sunset. Highly recommend G Adventures and JP as the CEO!

    Zum 2. Mal wurden meine Erwartungen von gadventure nicht erfüllt. Die Ausschreibung der Tour entsprach nicht der Durchführung. Dass der Tayrona Park geschlossen war, war für mich vor der Buchung nicht ersichtlich. Nach meiner Beschwerde bei g adventure war es dann plötzlich auf der 1. Seite der Tour angegeben. Das zweite Highlight der Tour ein Tag bei den Gotshezky indigenous wurd in meinem internery bestätigt. Dieser Teil, das Erleben der Braeuche und Zeremonien und Essen, bewegte mich die Tour nicht abzusagen. Dieser Teil wird jedoch schon seit der Pandemie gar nicht mehr angeboten. Wie kann dies sein? Das ist, wenn man ehrlich ist Betrug. Die Reise bestand somit aus Hostal Unterbringung mit Frühstück, Wert 200 US Dollar, einem halbtägigen Stadtrundgang in Cartagena. Der sehr gut war und einem walk mit lunch. Saemtliche sonstigen Aktivitäten mussten extra bezahlt werden. Auch an den Tagen an denen die Aktivitäten ausgefallen sind. Da frage ich mich für was mein Geld verwendet wurde. Gut 600 US Dollar für Organisation und Guide? Diesen soll man nach g adventure guideline ja auch noch sehr gut Tipp geben. Das war kein Problem, der Guide war gut, wenn auch hilflos, als wir Teilnehmer ihm unsere Interneries gezeigt haben. Die Gruppe war auch sehr nett. So waren es keine verlorenen Tage. G adventure muss jedoch schauen, seinen guten Ruf nicht zu verlieren.

    Had a wonderful trip. Highlights were Tayrona, waterfalls around Minca, tubing on the Don Diego (a last minute change in itinerary) and great company. Most of the accommodation was fine (don't expect luxury), but think Hotel Minca needs upgrading (grounds and view lovely, but my room smelt of damp and was the most basic food of the trip). Another downside was how much extra we had to pay for activities and group meals. There is a lot not included considering the price. But enjoyed being on the tour for the ease of transportation, great socialising and all the help and advice our winderful CEO Miguel was able to give.

    This tour does NOT represent good value for money. The accommodation was of a hostel level for which we paid dearly. It is amazing how quickly your expectations can drop to zero. Fortunately we had a good group who were great fun and we all have some super memories. Perhaps one too many freezing waterfalls and many promised options did not materialise. We specifically booked a tour of a higher calibre as we did not want to stay in hostels but sadly that is what happened. We had booked our own accommodation both before and after the tour So are more than aware of the actual cost of hotels and feel that fur £300 plus per day fur a couple we should have had better value fur money.

    I didnt enjoy the tour as i usually do with G-Ad. Im glad i didnt do the longer format (from bogota). I didnt get on well with tour leader (i have interest in Escobar) and learning history behind what happened. He berated me on the bus because i had genuine interest. Whatever my reason for coming to colombia should be no concern to TL.
