The holiday tour I booked was fantastic! It exceeded all expectations, with incredible sights, smooth logistics, and a memorable experience that I’ll cherish. Everything was well-organized, and I couldn’t have asked for a better trip!
It not only covered the places that we always wanted to see as well as some that we had never heard of. We didn’t even know that the Iguazu Falls existed but we found them to be one of the most amazing places to visit.
A great and very enjoyable trip with a very good guide / tour leader
(Daniel). Such varied culture, food and scenery too. I felt like I learned
and saw a lot. My one recommendation would be to make sure you read the trip
notes carefully before you go / book. You cover a lot of ground (long
distances) at times in order to and pack everything in. So there are some
long travel days and plenty of early starts. Loved it.
It has been a FANTASTIC trip. First of all because we have enjoyed a lot of the country, the food, the kindness of the people, extraordinary with us. And second, because of the great quality of the work you have done. We could not be better taken care of! The hotels were fabulous, and everything has been easy. The scheduled trips always on time at the airport and the hotel, and showing themselves charming with us. In addition to the guides, great professionals, with whom we have enjoyed a lot (All of them have been fantastic, but I would like to emphasize to Mauricio, the guide who picked us up in Arequipa and accompanied us through the Colca Valley.
Galapagos entirely lived up to expectations and more. Giant tortoises, blue footed boobies, iguanas, sea lions, turtles, amazingly colourful bird life, all breathtaking. Main land Ecuador was an unexpected delight though. Stunning scenery, smiling people, good quality hotels and food within a varied and interesting itinerary. Fabian, our guide was spot on, very knowledgeable and caring. A great trip.
The Contrasts of Colombia holiday with Explore certainly lives up to its name.
From the moment you arrive in Bogotá to the end point in Cartagena you will experience the very best that Colombia offers - and it doesn’t hold back! The colours, people, art, sights, sounds, smells, music and food are vibrant! This is a tour like no other I have been on. Truly memorable for the right reasons.
Led by Andreas, an outstanding tour director and our wonderful group we had an amazing trip from start to finish. Andreas kept us on track, sorted any issues quickly and efficiently and with complete ease. He was truly remarkable, an expert in his field. His love of the country is as infectious as his smile and sense of humour. We all learned so much about ourselves, Colombia and each other. And at the end of the day, that’s what we look for in these types of trips, right? Something that stretches our senses and minds.
Highlights for me were Bogotá, where you get rooted in the country’s history and its rich, historical past and many challenges from which it is thankfully rebuilding; to the beauty of the Andes, drinking ‘the best coffee’ at the Hacienda de Roble; completing a pilgrimage to Mount Monserrat; stunned into silence at the engineering and the beauty of the salt cathedral; danced the salsa in Villa de Leyva; went on rickshaw rides, discovered wine, cocktails and cable cars; Played the explosive game of Tejo, hung onto oir *****’s jeep in Salento, where we climbed the foothills of the Cocora valley witnessing the flight of the magnificent Condor; to discovering the real Medellín (and how to pronounce it!) and much much more including a swim in the warm waters of the Caribbean at Cartagena.
From cities, to mountains I only dreamed about to the coast. All remarkable in its own unique way. Beautiful Colombia!
Andreas was joined by local guides and drivers who were experts in their local area so could give you their own take and continue to build on your knowledge. If you wanted something or anything everyone went the extra mile to sort!
The accommodation was great, really authentic and comfortable and clean. Food is very authentic so don’t expect burger and fries or fried chicken in breadcrumbs! This is the food of Colombia! Personally I like that but if you don’t like coffee you might like to bring your own tea bags. Don’t trust the water and use the guidance that is given in the notes. Weather was good for us so February was a great time to travel. Hot on the coast but a steady temperature inland. Very pleasant! When it rains, an umbrella or poncho is best.
Some of the travel days are long and food service can be slower than the UK (as it’s freshly cooked) so you need to be flexible especially when travelling with a large group e.g using the toilets, being on time, ordering ahead etc. but our group was amazing and we all looked after each other, swapped seats etc. everyone was very kind and friendly. Mucking in is best as you spend a lot of time together.
So if you are considering this holiday, I would say “I would do it all again in a heartbeat”. Colombia is beautiful and trying to rebuild its reputation with innovative makers, artists, musicians and tourism.
There is much to see and admire and I’m proud to be an ambassador and glad to have been. I have come back a better person and with some great friendships and memories. 10/10!! Just remember to ask for Andreas, the best leader!
