"For the transfer from the airport to hotel i had paid separately and i am waiting the driver 20 minutes. (my flight arrived at 7pm, i was out at 7.30 and the driver came at 7.50 pm-unacceptable.)
The tour was very good as it is well planned. The guide (Sergio) is also very good. The included tours were very good but it could be more (for example city tours-not optional) and the accomodation could be better. The best was the eco lodge at tayrona area and the anacaona at st.augustin. The worse the park hotel at Santa Marta (even at very good position). Very good transportation, all on time and good conditions. Some details spoil the final result and the first impression at the airport was really very bad -waiting the driver and paid 20 euros for that (it isn;t for a reliable company)."

"Touring through France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Italy was amazing. The itinerary was very well planned as despite seeing a lot of things it was still very relaxing. Cool trip guide, nice accommodations."

About Us

Travel addicts Pip and Liliana Tyler founded one of the first ever South American adventure tour companies in 1987 and named their business Tucan Travel, after the famous South American bird with its traditional Spanish spelling. As their reputation for offering excellent adventurous public transport tours spread and demand increased, the Tylers decided to expand and joined forces with fellow tour operator Matt Gannan in 1997, and with his fleet of expedition vehicles the company started pioneering many of the first over landing routes in South America.

Tucan Travel owns a fleet of comfortable, modern Mercedes Benz custom-built vehicles which comply with European emissions standards and are well equipped to deal with the demands of the varied terrain on tour. The company is committed to offering exciting and adventurous itineraries while encouraging responsible travel practices on the road and in its offices. We offer our clients the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions of our tours and pledge to reduce our company emissions by managing our energy efficiently and offsetting business travel. Overland adventure travel is comfortable, safe and exciting for people of all ages, cultures and fitness levels. Why not share the adventure with us?

Many of the inclusions in our tours are the result of years of careful research to get the right balance of quality and adventure that is best suited to our travellers.

Tucan Travel tour leaders know our destinations very well, and are adept at getting the very best out of the destinations we visit. This means everything from back street restaurants serving delicious, cheap local food, to pointing out interesting sites to see and places to visit along the way.
