Out trip to Colombia was fantastic thanks to Michael and his team. The trip he planned was perfect for our family of 5 (3 kids under 9). The kids were engaged with the activities. Our days were filled with activity but not too booked. Our guides were especially awesome. In Bogota, Maria Jose and Nicholas introduced us to local cuisine and fruits we had never seen before. Deanna was so gracious to meet us at the airport and show us the city and the Salt Cathedral (very cool!). In Cartagena, Gustavo was a fantastic tour guide for our three days and really showed the city and took care of us. All the guides offered their personal contact information while we were there and made sure we were taken care of. We would highly recommend Michael and his team as well as any of our tour guides!

Hotel Reviews
Grand Hyatt Bogotá
Bogotá

Beautiful hotel in a quiet part of the city. Easy to get to airport and to busier parts of downtown. Club staff and amenities were great. Pool and spa areas are amazing. Recommend without reservation.

Hotel Isla del Encanto
Cartagena

Beautiful property. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Swim up bar and large pool area for the kids. They provided ear plugs for music that played at night from neighboring village but we didn't find this to be a bother.

Ermita, Cartagena, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
El Cabrero, Cartagena

This hotel is outside of the walled city but still close enough to walk into the walled city without issue. Inside the hotel is beautiful and well kept up. The breakfast was delicious and an impressive spread. Staff was very friendly.
