5.00Yaz was an absolutely incredible guide! She was knowledgeable, professional, but most of all, she was friendly. By the end of the day, she was like a member of the family. She had a great itinerary and organized our transportation from our hotel in Pereira as well as our meals during this amazing day. The tour she took us on of the Cocora Valley was gorgeous and is a must-see for anyone visiting this region of Colombia. The landscape is unlike any you've visited before. The town of Salento is colorful and friendly as well.
An amazing tour! Must do!

5.00The tour was amazing - Andres was an incredible tour guide and we learned so much from him! Daniel, our driver, was super friendly and a very good driver in busy traffic conditions. We really appreciated Andres reaching out to suggest an earlier start so that we didn’t get stuck in the traffic. That was a life saver and we are so grateful that we listened to him as otherwise we would have wasted a lot of time in traffic. It was a great tour of the Cocora valley and Salento, and we even squeezed in extra stop for a local lunch. 10/10 recommend!

The private tour was fun with some hiking to the most beautiful views and was full of stories, history and information about the region, city and Colombia.

5.00We found it a very interesting route, we were with a small child so we travelled less. The guide Nicolai was a great guide, explained everything very well, answered all of us questions. It made everything very enjoyable. It was an amazing experience for Nicolai’s landscape and company.
