  • Amazing Colombia Trip

    VickiR576,

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    We just completed 8 days with Gran Colombia visiting Pereira (the coffee region), Bogotá, and Cartagena. Everything was wonderful including the tour guides, hotels, and transportation. I was really impressed with restaurants that we were taken to for authentic dishes, and with the communication from the drivers and tour guides prior to being picked up. It was perfect, and I can’t pick anything that needed improvement. Thank you for an amazing vacation.

  • Salt Cathedral and Cocora Valley live in my memories forever.

    Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá is top on my list, followed by Cocora Valley (coffee region from Pereira). Columbia is so beautiful and Columbians are very friendly. Our tour guide in Bogota (David Abril) and in Pereira (David Alvarez) are definitely the best for these tours. Both are deeply knowledgeable of Columbia history and culture, eager to show you the best of Columbia as well as kind, considerate and honest. I'd recommend this tour to my family and best friends, and ask for these two guides in Bogota and Pereira without hesitation.
