“My husband and I arrived to Bogota for a wedding late in the afternoon. By chance, this company had an opening for the next day for a full day tour of Bogota. What I enjoyed the most was how personalized everything. Very professional and detailed. Communication was perfect, and I love how much they love their city.”
Ride through Cartagena in a private classic car with a driver and, if you select the correct option, a bilingual historian guide. The roughly 75-minute route covers the walled city, Clock Tower, Las Bóvedas, Getsemaní, San Felipe Castle, and several plazas. Expect photo stops, tight lanes, warm air, and plenty of attention from passersby.
“Highly recommended! We had an amazing time exploring Cartagena in this charming car, which truly transported us back to ancient times while we discovered the city's most remarkable historical sites. The car itself is both beautiful and comfortable. Our driver was incredibly friendly and punctual as well :) Thank you very much!”
Spend about nine hours traveling from Cartagena to Playa Blanca on Barú Island, with air-conditioned transport, a welcome drink, snacks, lunch credit, a sun chair, lockers, and club access. Mambo Beach Club adds music and bathrooms, but this is a public beach with vendors, boat traffic, and possible extra charges for shade, premium meals, and Balinese beds.
“Verdadeira arapuca! Não caiam nessa. O local é minúsculo, sem infraestrutura, apenas alguns sofás e espreguiçadeiras. Sujo, sem energia e sem água potável. Não vale a pena!!”
Travel from Cartagena in private transport to Volcán del Totumo, where you can float in warm mineral mud, receive a local massage, rinse in a lagoon, and enjoy a cold drink. English-speaking guides such as Omar and Andrés explain each step. Early departures offer the quietest visit.
“You have to walk up quite a bit of stairs to get up to the volcano. You also do get naked after in the ocean so they can clean your shoes and swimsuits throughly. I had so much fun and I would do this tour again.”

We started the day off by going to the Rosario Islands, were we did some snorkling at different locations. Zenon and Ilan new all the good spots and we saw great fish, reefs and even a sunk plane.

English translator support is available, with guides such as Pedro, Runa, Gato, and Carlos involved in different activities.
“This was a fantastic trip in every way possible. Starting with the clear, timely communication with Karla, one of the owners, to our arrival in Leticia then in Puerto Narino, everything every step of the way was handled professionally. The guides and English translator were top notch, so were the accommodations and the meals. We felt we had a very good exposure to the area’s natural history in the jungle and on the water. There’s a fair amount of walking on slippery trails so a person needs to be in decent shape.”
Spend six hours on a private speedboat from San Andrés, with a captain and assistant, snorkeling gear, a cooler, sound system, and water mat. Visit Old Point mangroves, Aquarium Key, Rocky Key, El Palito, and White Watta Beach.

Then continue to a hotel in Arroyo de Piedra for a typical lunch, pool time, beach access, and a quiet afternoon before returning around 3:00 pm.
“Le bain de boue était amusant et original, on a bien rigolé. En revanche, on était vraiment entassés avec d’autres personnes, donc pas très intime. Après ça, on se baigne dans le lac à côté pour se rincer de la boue. Mais attention : il y a toujours quelqu’un qui vous propose de vous laver, de prendre une photo, ou de faire autre chose — et tout est payant. À la fin, plusieurs personnes vous entourent presque de force pour réclamer de l’argent. C’est un peu agressif et ça peut gâcher le moment. Bref, à faire pour l’expérience, mais prenez de la monnaie sur vous !”
Spend about six hours at Playa Tranquila on Barú after a climate-controlled bus ride and short speedboat transfer. Your $54 includes northern Cartagena pickup, lunch, a welcome cocktail, chairs and beds, beach access, and an English or Spanish guide. Guide Eleonora has been noted for hands-on help, but pickup delays and persistent vendors can affect the day.
“The beach was beautiful. What could be improved is communication. The tour guide said he’d meet us at the pick up point between 730 and 8a and when I reached out to him after he was late, the response was “I’m coming” He came alright, LATE then was rushing me.”
Take a private luxury boat across Guatapé’s reservoir for one hour, with room for up to six people.
