Absolutely Amazing!

5.00The tour was absolutely amazing! Coming from a Caribbean island, I did struggle a bit with adjusting to the altitude, but Juan Camilo Robles was incredible. He stayed back with me when I couldn’t keep up with the rest of the group, showed so much patience and kindness, and made sure I felt supported the entire time. Because of him, I still had an amazing experience and truly enjoyed the tour. I’m so grateful and would highly recommend this experience to anyone.
Amazing.

5.00The tour was super good, Juan Camilo solved all the doubts we had and gave us a lot of valuable information about the Valley and the Quindío region. The transfer was comfortable, my mom was dizzy easily but had no problem. Maybe she couldn’t do the hike because of health issues, but she was very happy having coffee in a restaurant. The schedule was respected from start to finish, there was always communication 😊
