Reviews of our Cartagena Tours for December
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Cartagena during December.
Henry Wilson | Traveled in December
This was my first time in South America, and honestly, this tour was everything I hoped it would be and more. I was a bit nervous doing it solo but the small group setup made it super easy to meet people. The itinerary was well-balanced between structured tours and free time. Cartagena was absolutely beautiful like stepping into a painting. The Coffee Triangle was a surprising.. got to try some of the freshest coffee I’ve ever had. Bogota cooler, more urban. The views from Monserrate were incredible. Then we flew to Peru, and Machu Picchu... I still don’t have words. It was emotional. The guides were amazing and knew so much history. Lake Titicaca was peaceful and surreal. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who loves a mix of nature, history, and culture. Take altitude sickness seriously, though — drink the coca tea!
Melanie | Traveled in December
"This was our first trip to South America and my relatives were apprehensive. So I decided to call on this tour operator and I have absolutely no regrets. Emmeline, with her professionalism and kindness, was the pillar of the realization of my travel project, thanks to all her recommendations (activities or places). Her agency was incredibly responsive and attentive (always reachable and on the lookout for flight delays or other things). The guides were passionate and very kind as well as really knowledgeable, making every step of my trip unforgettable. Thanks again to Emmeline and the entire team for transforming my project into an unforgettable travel experience in the best possible conditions."
