A fantastic tour to experience a good slice of Columbia! Especially good if this is your first time in Colombia, with a great mix of city and beach, with lots of included activities that you would want to do. Rafael was one of the best CEOs we have had on our many G Adventures tours.

I was very pleased with everything that happened from the time we boarded Yolita until our final disembarkation. Our trip leader was great, but equally important, the entire crew/staff was great. Everyone was competent at their jobs; they were friendly; and they seemed to be genuinely concerned about our safety, comfort and contentment.
