The preliminary planning meetings were easy to arrange and the team listened to our requirements and planned a great trip. We were a bit nervous as the final itinerary was late getting to us, but everything worked out so well and was even better than described. The drivers and guides were top quality, always on time and very knowledgeable. In country support was very responsive and helpful- it couldn’t have been easier for us as a multi-site trip. If you are planning a trip to Colombia, we would recommend Rough Guides but would suggest you don’t need a guide for the Salt Cathedral or the Thermal Spa (Santa Rosa). Main sites are very busy first week of January so bear this in mind. If you like nature, we wish we had stayed overnight in Tayrona National Park so do look at that as an option. Would definitely use this team again. Thank you for a wonderful trip.”

“Our family trip to Colombia was top-notch. Our English-speaking guides were not only knowledgeable but also had excellent personalities. Our drivers were prompt & the vehicles were definitely 5-star. Every night, we received a detailed itinerary from Benjamin & received constant updates and welcome WhatsApp messages. We ALWAYS felt safe and cared for. Majo did an excellent job planning our trip, while Benjamin executed the trip once we arrived in Colombia. We are seasoned travelers. However, my husband and I will definitely use Rough Guides again to plan our next trip.”

I got exactly what I wanted, recommendations, tours, transportation arrangements etc. The local operator was very good at back and forth exchanges, asked great questions to help with recommendations that suited our travel plans and style. The local tour arranger, Nick, also checked on us multiple times via Whatsapp during the trip to ensure things were going as planned. He also had great tips for foods to try, and insider information. Couldn't have been more pleased and plan to use Rough Guides for any travel outside the USA”
