Colombia is a true land of contrasts which the extensive itinerary brings out well. Good accommodation. Gustavo was an excellent guide. Go before it becomes too touristy!

This is my third tour, my best tour, and my favorite tour. My girlfriend and I have always wanted to go to South America, and G Adventures made sure I could maximize my limited time off! Also- Rafa made the 10/10 experience a 100/10 experience.

This was my first G adventure. I did not know what to expect but I was very happy with the result. I loved how we got to see places that I never would have seen if I went on my own. I met a few really nice people that I am actually meeting up with New York City next month. I love how it was action packed with a little downtime as well. Rosa was great. She explained things and was very nice and sweet to deal with. I’d highly recommend the adventures.
