5.00We did so much on this tour. Cesar is very personable, funny, and knowledgeable. He loves his country and wants to share all the good things. We saw the fort, tasted some wonderful local beer on a very hot day. The van for the tour was well equipped with A/C and waters. We then explored the city and tasted some great fruit and food that you can't find in our country. I loved the empanadas !!! The coffee shop he took us too was so good !! The emerald shops had some wonderful pieces. I would definitely love to have Cesar and his lovely wife as tour guides again, they truly love their country and want to share it all with you!
Absolutely the BEST

5.00When I was researching our trip to Colombia, I knew I wanted an emerald but I was worried about getting scammed and not speaking the language or really even know what I was looking at. Enter the amazing Cesar and I didn’t have to worry again! Not only is his tour of the walled city fun, interesting and education (is there anything he doesn’t know?) but he knew EVERYONE! We went to the emerald store of one of his friends and we were given THE BEST treatment! I didn’t feel rushed or pressured at all but wound up with the most beautiful emerald and the perfect keepsake from our exceptional trip. Me and my adult kids had the best time with Cesar! 10/10 *********
