This tour was a great mix to show the diversity of Colombia, from coffee plantations in rural areas to bustling cities full of life. Our CEO, Carlos, and our group of 12 strangers that became friends, really made our trip what it was.

Overall great way to travel and see so many places and activities in a short period of time. The tour was very busy but enjoyable. I enjoyed mostly everything on the tour even though there were a few days with little to no break in between activities!
