I really enjoyed the trip to Colombia. I visited Medellin and Cartagena and had a good time. After visiting Colombia did not want to leave and hope to go back in the future. The guides were great and very helpful and informative I really had a good time visiting Colombia. I had the guides speak to me in Spanish so that it can help me improve my Spanish. Michael and the team were very helpful with their explanations on everything and Colombia is a great place with great people to the point where like how I said before I'm definitely going to visit again.
