I had a wonderful time traveling with G to Colombia. The CEOs were wonderful, and G always seems to attract likeminded travellers who I thoroughly enjoy my time with. As a 30-something year old woman, I completely recommend taking a Classic tour, as there is a wonderful mix of age ranges that add so much character to the tour. The tour to Colombia included a great mix of smaller towns and larger cities, and I felt the pacing was perfect. While the accommodations could be improved, I had such a wonderful time, and would highly recommend the tour to others.

Great trip, it really was a contrast of the different parts of Colombia. My favourite part of the trip was staying in the coffee region and the day we went to the Coco Valley by an old jeep, played tejo and walked around Salento. I also enjoyed the cookery lesson and coffee tour. Overall highly recommended and a real insight in to Colombia.
Andres was a great guide, super kind and considerate. I felt really safe and well looked after by him on the tour.
