Colombia Sightseeing Tours and Trips

It would be good to spend less time driving but I can’t see a way around it.More time in Medellín would be nice.The hotel there was lovely but very out of the way.We arrived by 3 but did nothing that afternoon which was partly our fault.My preference if staying in that hotel would be for the guide to take us to the nearby subway station and suggest an interesting close neighborhood to go to for us to walk around and eat dinner.He did point out the station from the bus but in that concrete jungle all we were able to find was an uninteresting mall.We did a lot of interesting experiences but I would recommend that the botanical garden be included and skip the cooking class and shorten the coffee experience in the coffee region.

Really enjoyed this holiday. Lots of variety. Organisation went very well. Tour leader Andres was excellent. Only issue was an incorrect itinerary - which states a visit to Pablo Escobar's house in Medellin, which never happened and local tour guide said was a joke. Explore leader said it couldn't be done. So I'm raising a complaint about this as it's clearly a real draw for Medellin

Charlie offers a great Colombia tour. We had so much fun strolling through the streets of Santa Marta and Cartagena. The itinerary also gives you lots of time to relax and explore on your own, along with participating in exciting activities. We will be looking to book our next trip with Charlie as well!

John was a super guide who was desperate to show us all that Colombia is a jewel in the crown of South America As always, I was expecting the trip to be excellent, but I was also expecting that air of 'testiness' that comes with travelling in South America but it just wasn't there. The trip was well thought out and showed Colombia off to be welcoming and full of fun. Add to that a fantastic contrast from the cities to the mountains to the coffee plantations to the beaches...I look back and think how did we squeeze all that in?? Would I recommend this trip - 100% Would I like to visit Colombia again - 100%, what's the chance of a wildlife based tour coming anytime soon???

Thank you for this trip Charlie! My friends and I had the time of our life exploring the beautiful country of Colombia. The tour gets you to explore the main areas of the country, free of stress. Our highlight would definitely be the Totumo Volcano!

Two weeks through Colombia and Peru, and it felt like we packed in a lifetime of memories. It was busy, yes, but in the best way, every day brought something new and unexpected. Cartagena was our first stop, hot and humid, but absolutely beautiful. Great seafood & some of the most charming streets I’ve walked through in a long time. The coffee region was a real highlight for me. I’ve always enjoyed a good cup but actually seeing how it’s grown and meeting the people behind it added a whole new appreciation. Brought back a few bags and now I can’t drink anything else. Bogota was big and bustling. A bit hectic at times, but had a nice energy to it. The view from Monserrate was well worth the climb (well...cable car in our case!). Then Peru — absolutely stunning. Machu Picchu is everything they say and more. Pictures don’t do it justice. The Sacred Valley was peaceful, Cusco was full of character, and Lake Titicaca? Fascinating. I had no idea about the floating islands before this. A few early mornings here and there, but that’s part of the deal when you want to see so much. Would definitely recommend this trip to fellow travelers 50+ who are still up for an adventure but want it all organized for you. Just pack your walking shoes and an open mind, South America will take care of the rest.
