We had a great time with Gran Colombia!! A few highlights in my opinion:
- We were able to customize the Bogota-Medellin-Cartagena tour based on our schedule and preference which is a big plus.
- Everyone from the customer agent at the company to all the tour guides are SUPER friendly & helpful. Communication is 10 out of 10
- The tours themselves were great… we got to see places & learn things that we probably would not have found out ourselves
Definitely recommend working with them if you’re in Colombia!!!

Contraté desde Uruguay el tour de 10 días de Gran Colombia Tours que decía de una “experiencia mágica” y así fue!!
Luego de haberlo disfrutado a pleno, puedo valorar la organización y el cuidado en la atención personalizada a los viajeros, con una precisión en cada detalle. Pudimos captar también, la complejidad de la tarea de la agencia y sus múltiples integrantes y colaboradores, para ofrecernos una experiencia mágica, como dice el tour.
Los alojamientos fueron de la calidad esperada y necesaria, igual que los transportes. Los tramos aéreos fueron viajes de calidad, puntuales y bien atendidos. Los guías merecen un elogio especial por su capacitación y trato esmerado. Lo mismo diríamos para los choferes de transfer y de ellos destácanos la puntualidad, pero el trato amable y servicial también fue una constante.
De las experiencias elegidas para el tour, nos impresionaron y cautivaron. Nos enriquecieron y las disfrutamos mucho! Nos avisaron que había que caminar, y subir pendientes y escaleras. Y a veces nos detuvimos por un descanso, pero siempre fuimos cuidados y contemplados.
Claro, tienen un gran país! Pero el tour lo enmarcó para nosotros!
Así que desde Montserrate, La candelaria, las plazas y los museos, hasta los chubascos darios de Bogotá; así como las visitas a la catedral de sal en Zipaquirá y el origen de la leyenda de El Dorado en La Laguna de Guatavita; el eje cafetero, las termas de Santa Rosa de Cabal, y la ciudad de Pereira en sí misma; los paseos por Medellín con sus barrios pintorescos y su transporte público tan adecuado al entorno; la Piedra del Peñol y la magia del pueblo Guatapé; y finalmente la inolvidable Cartagena de Indias, su historia y sus bellas playas e islas, su mística y su exotismo, todo nos resultó muy disfrutable!
Muchas gracias!
