EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Milan Sibalin dr2025-02-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Tours in Colombia was excellent. From the start, the team was very responsive and flexible, adjusting the tour to our interests and schedule. Our guide spoke excellent English and was extremely knowledgeable, making the experience both informative and engaging. We started with a personalized walking tour, where we explored Cartagena’s colonial history and the street art in Getsemaní. After such a great experience, we decided to return for the street food tour, which was just as impressive. We tried a variety of local dishes that showcased the city’s cultural mix, visiting places we wouldn’t have found on our own. Both tours were well-organized, insightful, and adapted to our needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional and authentic experience in Cartagena. Eszter Rakos2025-01-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tours in Colombia did an amazing job organizing our trip. They were flexible and made sure everything worked for our schedule. The private boat tour to the Rosario Islands was a fantastic experience for our family and children. It was safe, comfortable, and we had a great time enjoying the beautiful beaches. We also loved the Cartagena city walking tour, especially the street food tour in the city center, where we got to taste amazing local flavors. The team was professional and friendly, making us feel comfortable all the time. Dávid N2025-01-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Matías, the trip organizer, was always helpful and made sure we were comfortable during the whole trip. The private boat tour to the Rosario Islands was an amazing experience with our family and children.

I highly recommend this company for anyone visiting Colombia. Nicolas Stewart2025-01-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tours in Colombia organized a fantastic series of tours for me in Cartagena, and every detail was very well planned. The walking tour in Cartagena’s city center with Elena was a great way to kick things off. She brought the city’s history to life with her stories and made the whole experience both fun and informative. The next day, I decided to add something different to the mix. Since I wanted to learn more about Colombia’s famous birdlife, I went on a bird watching day trip in the Caribbean dry forest. It was a fantastic choice! Maicol, the guide, had incredible knowledge of the birds, including their scientific names, and helped us spot some amazing species using quality binoculars. The trip was even more enjoyable with fresh organic fruits and a traditional breakfast. I also had a chance to relax on a Rosario Islands boat tour, exploring stunning turquoise waters and beautiful spots along the way. Everything was perfectly organized, so I could just sit back and enjoy. The variety and quality of these tours made my time in Cartagena truly memorable! Caryl Shane Cabahug2025-01-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a really great experience with Tours in Colombia! They organized a custom trip for me, my husband, and 20 of our friends, and everything went so smooth. Our trip started with a Cartagena walking tour in the walled historic center, led by Eddie. He gave us a great introduction to the city, sharing interesting stories about its history and culture while showing us some hidden gems. It was clear that Eddie loves what he does, and his enthusiasm made the experience feel very enjoyable and special. Later in the trip, we explored more of Cartagena with a guided walking tour through the vibrant streets of Getsemaní. The neighborhood’s colorful murals, lively atmosphere, and rich history added a completely different perspective to the city. It was an unforgettable experience that showed us another side of Cartagena’s culture and spirit. The island-hopping tour in the Rosario Islands was also well-planned. We enjoyed beautiful beaches, clear waters, and a relaxed schedule. After the boat tour, they even checked in with us to make sure we were ready for the next part of the trip. We also appreciated their restaurant recommendations, which helped us avoid tourist traps and discover some really good local spots. Everything felt safe and well-organized throughout the trip. Their flexibility and good English made communication easy, and they ensured the trip suited everyone’s needs. I’d definitely recommend them for anyone planning a trip to Colombia!

He shared so many interesting facts and stories about the history, culture, and art of Cartagena. I learned so much at every stop. The tour was really well-organized, with a nice pace that didn’t feel rushed. I also appreciated how safe and comfortable everything felt, even as we explored the lively streets of Getsemaní. Eddie made sure everyone in the group stayed together and gave helpful tips about the area. This tour is a great way to explore the highlights of Cartagena while feeling informed and secure. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city! Zsófi Bokor-Megyeri2024-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

András Bokor2024-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience on the street food tour with Tours in Colombia! Our guide, Laura, was exceptional friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Colombian culture and cuisine. She made sure everyone felt included and comfortable throughout the tour. The food stops were incredible, offering a variety of authentic Colombian dishes like arepas, empanadas, and fresh exotic fruits. Laura explained the history and traditions behind each dish, which made the experience so much richer. One of the things I appreciated most was how safe I felt everywhere we went.

Dalma Dr Várszegi2024-11-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had such a great time on the boat trip to the Rosario Islands with Tours in Colombia! Everything was well-organized, and the boat was super comfortable with amazing views of the sea. What I loved most was that the trip had something for everyone. If you’re into a fun, lively vibe, there was music and a party atmosphere on board. But if you’re more about relaxing, it was just as easy to find a quiet spot to enjoy the sun, the sound of the waves, and the beautiful scenery. One of the highlights was visiting the underwater sunken airplane of Pablo Escobar. We got to snorkel right up to it, which was such a unique and exciting experience. The clear water made it easy to see the wreck and the marine life around it. The beaches we visited were stunning, with crystal-clear water perfect for swimming. The staff were really friendly and made sure everyone felt safe and looked after the whole time. It was such a nice mix of fun and calm. If you’re visiting the area, I’d definitely recommend taking this boat tour to the Rosario Islands.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
