The 12-day Colombia Uncovered tour was an incredible experience that I would highly recommend. The itinerary was perfectly planned, offering a great mix of cities, jungle, and beach time. All the included activities were fantastic. I especially enjoyed the water-based adventures; the Tubing down the river was a really fun and relaxing way to see the scenery, and the Snorkelling was superb—the water was beautiful and full of life. The biggest praise, however, must go to our tour guide, Isa. She made the trip truly special. Isa has a wonderfully fun and witty personality and kept the atmosphere light and enjoyable throughout the entire 12 days. Crucially, she was also perfectly organized and professional. Everything ran like clockwork, and she always had a solution for any minor issue. Beyond that, she was always attentive and had an open ear for everyone in the group, ensuring we all felt comfortable and included. A huge thank you to Isa for making this a seamless and memorable trip! Five stars.
I couldn’t have imagined a better guide than Isa. She was part of the group, yet always took responsibility, organized everything, and made sure we felt safe and cared for at all times. We had so much fun together, and it was clear that she truly enjoyed it too. Thanks to her, I got a very positive and authentic impression of Colombia — its people, culture, and incredible energy.
I had an incredible time on the 12-day Colombia tour! The itinerary was the perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Our tour guide Isa was absolutely amazing – super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even more special. My favorite part was definitely Isla Grande – such a beautiful, peaceful island with the best vibes. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Colombia!
Another trip is coming to an end. Once again, I was able to enjoy an unforgettable time and get to know a country I'd never known before, but have now come to appreciate. TruTravels is also extremely fortunate to be able to regularly assemble such a great group. Isa always kept an eye on things and was always able to provide us with tips and tricks to ensure unforgettable experiences. Everything was excellently organized, and nothing stood in the way of a fantastic time. I'm delighted to have been part of this tour.
Trip was fantastic, places are beautiful, fun and felt very safe. Such an amazing country and I highly recommend!
Really well organised trip to see a mix of different places from cities to islands to jungle. Our guides Kro and Isa were amazing! Got really involved so felt like they were part of the group, super helpful and knowledgeable, even during free time making sure everyone was safe and found what they wanted. 100% recommend the optional boat trip to see the bioluminescent plankton from the island hostel, absolutely incredible, think this should be included in the tour itinerary. Cartagena was the big highlight, beautiful city with so much culture. Accommodation was a bit mixed as generally really good but the island hostel needs more aircon in the rooms as too hot and humid. Only key build is that I think the trip needs a few more activities within the itinerary, a bit too much free time vs other tours I’ve done.
The trip to colombia was really amazing and a special time I will never forget. And hopefully it was not the last time I have visited this country and its wonderfl people.
Amazing tour that made it super easy to see the diversity that Colombia has to offer. Caro and Isa were some of the best tours leaders I’ve had - always bringing the energy and being super friendly, approachable and organised. Lots of free time also on this tour so great if you want a more chilled experience.
I had the best experience travelling through Colombia with Carolina and Isabella! The tour itinerary was great, a nice balance of activities and relaxation/free time. I felt very safe, the guides gave excellent recommendations in terms of where to go, what to eat, what to do and were always on hand to translate things for us if needed. They always made sure that everyone was having a good time. It was so great travelling with Colombian tour guides to really get an insight into the country - a beautiful country full of colour, good food and friendly people!
Colombia has been amazing! I would 100% recommend to anyone thinking about going
While Colombia has a rep for being unsafe, it has climbed the ladder of worthwhile travel destinations for a reason. Not only is it amazing to learn about and see the transformation that the country has gone through within the last 20 years, the diverse landscape is worth traveling for. From growing hubs like Medellin, to rainforest adventures in Minca (amazing jungle rave) and Carribean vibes on isla grande, I enjoyed sunset kayaking, racing through the rainforest on motor taxis and the cute old towns of guatape and Cartagena! Caro was really helpful and lovely.



Colombia Uncovered was an amazing experience! From the start in Medellín learning about the history of this beautiful country, to the Carribean Coast and the Jungle, it was a cool trip with amazing people from all over the world and our fantastic Guide Jóse! He kept us all the time up to date with the plan what is going on, and made sure everyone has the best experience possible in his home country. Thanks for the great time we all had together!
It often felt like the travel specialist cut corners on the itinerary. However, the guide was amazing and made up for it!
The tour was amazing - with lots of variety and ground covered in the 12 days. The highlights for me were the El Rio hostel and Medellin! Jose was a wonderful tour guide full of life and a sense of adventure. He's always happy to answer our questions and put in the effort to make sure everyone's needs are met - even going as for as to alter the trip from requests! Ie Adding Tayrona, moving the party bus so we can go to Cafe Havana. Lovely guy and I would very happily join other tours after this experience!
Such a fun trip! We managed to see all of the highlights in just 12 days, lovely group of people and the tour guide Jose was amazing - so friendly and accommodating. Thank you Jose!!!
