Stress Free Vacation
Colombia
|
Dec 24 - Jan 1, 2025
Columbia is just an amazing country and we are so glad we had the help in planning.
Most of our guides were FANTASTIC- so friendly, intelligent and interesting! We had one guide that was good, I have nothing bad to say but I do not think we needed a guide for the activity and truth be told, it was too touristy. I would not have selected Guatape but went with the suggestion anyway.
I did most of the other planning and KimKim did the rest (booking guides, drivers, internal airfare) but I could have really let KIMKIM select the hotels as they know the area better than I did.
We loved the hiking and the remote villages and of course the tour of the Stilt Village was awesome.
It was truly a carefree trip and while using KIMKIM is certainly more expensive than doing it on your own, it takes all of the stress and organization off your hands and to me, that is worth it to me!
Hotel Reviews
Perfect room, location with a lovely gym and healthy food! Decor was amazing and it was very clean. We appreciated having free laundry!
The hotel is beautiful and the staff were amazing but the location did not feel safe. We stayed in the hotel and did not venture out once we were in for the day. It is also very noisy from the streets around.
We checked out, it was dirty and the staff were not very nice.
Activity Reviews
We did not like this part of the trip as it was too touristy and there was not much to do. We would have preferred to do some activity there other than sit and climb the rock
We love hiking and while this was the scariest hike I ever did, we loved it. What made it challenging was there is no real trail and what is there is very slippery. Going up was fine, hard but good but I was really worried about going down.
You do not need a guide for the first part of the hike and I think that was all that was scheduled for us but we decided we wanted to do more bc we actually like to hike and be in remote areas. Once we got past the crowd it was awesome. You do not really need a guide for this trip but it is nice to have and he was lovely.
Loved it!
Our guide was awesome and this was one of the highlights of our trip- definetly worth stopping!!
While the market is quite the adventure, is is not for the faint of heart- it is truly dirty but very cool place to be! I would not have felt safe being there without all of the support staff we had.
The guide did not provide much to the trip, we learned very little. We could have just walked around the city ourselves. She was nice and tried to help get us a dinner reservation but we did not do anything that required a guide and she just did not teach us much. The other guides were full of knowledge and stories.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re so glad you had a stress-free and memorable trip to Colombia and that you enjoyed the stunning hikes, the visit to Nueva Venecia, and the remote areas you explored.
Your kind words about the guides and logistics mean a lot to us, and we’re happy that the coordination made your trip easier. We also really appreciate your constructive feedback - especially regarding Guatapé, the walking tour in Cartagena, and the... Read more
