What our clients say

Most Memorable Moment?: Impossible to pick one place/moment. A very varied and interesting few weeks. Cartagena was definitely a highlight.
SJA, Malvern Mar 2018
Highlight: The beauty of Cartagena's streets. The historic district of La Candelaria in Bogota. And finally standing in the main square of Villa de Leyva.
TF, Wakefield Jun 2017
Highlight?: Difficult! As a general tourist, probably the Salt Cathedral, bur personally the return to Pereira after 42 years!
JPM, London Jun 2016
Highlight?: The local knowledge of the guides and their willingness to adapt to our needs. We were taken to places that were not part of the schedule. E.g. Local restaurants
SD, Esher Mar 2017
Highlights?: Coffee region and Tayrona, lovely people everywhere
JM, St Albans Sep 2018
