Wonderful bespoke family trip to Colombia

Dec 16 - Dec 30, 2022
It took me a little while to get to writing this review, but this family trip remains vivid in all of our minds! I planned this quite last minute (my fault) but Margarita was able to put together a trip that we all loved. It felt very bespoke. Our local guides were lovely and knowledgeable. We also appreciated that some of the activities we did - jungle walks, horse-back riding, a farm and cooking class visit, a basket-weaving class, visiting Palenque, and a drum lesson - all felt like off-the-beaten path experiences. We prefer private experiences and that is what was delivered. The hotels were perfect for us, small and boutique (especially for such a last minute trip). Finally, one member of our party has celiac and needs a strictly gluten-free diet. margarita contacted every restaurant and notified them, making our dining experience truly a joy. I would definitely recommend Margarita to others (and, in fact, I have). Thank you for a lovely trip!

We loved our time here. There were not many Americans other than us (which was a positive) and we enjoyed meeting people from Colombia, Europe, and other countries. The only challenge for us was that we had one member of our group who has celiac and cannot eat gluten at all, so the dining was a bit challenging for her. Since we always bring food for her with us, it was not a big problem. The massage was lovely by the ocean.
Reading your review made my day! Even though planning was a bit last-minute (it happens!), I'm thrilled we managed to put together a trip that hit the mark for you and your family. Crafting those unique experiences is what I love doing. It's great to hear you enjoyed the off-the-beaten-path activities and that the boutique hotels were just right, especially considering the timing. Taking care of dietary needs, like ensuring gluten-free options, is part of making sure everyone... Read more
