Colombia Travel Guide

It was a great experience! From the initial contact until the last minute, when our tour guide left us at the airport, it was a wonderful team.

Colombia's beauty took us by surprise! But the team of professionals that took care of us the whole time surpassed our expectations due to their kindness, knowledge, and attention to detail. Their punctuality was impressive every single day. The hotels and restaurants they recommended were impeccable!

This was our first family vacation with Zicasso. My teenagers were very happy and this was the second time for my husband and me. And for sure, there will be a third time with Zicasso!

Zicasso's travel agency is absolutely phenomenal! They carefully chose unique and private experiences that were off the grid. We were welcomed into the homes of locals who owned cocoa, coffee, and flower farms. An unforgettable trip, 180 degrees from more commercially available tour options. Thank you!

Our trip to Colombia was our third travel experience arranged via Zicasso. As was the case with our previous two trips, this one was managed nearly flawlessly from start to finish with the kind of attentive customer care we have become accustomed to with Zicasso and their partners.

The agent from our travel company went above and beyond in assisting us with all our planning, providing insights and recommendations only someone who has experienced Colombia fully can provide. She was very patient in helping us make adjustments to arrive at the perfect itinerary and then remaining in constant contact to ensure every minor detail was handled perfectly throughout our journey.

Our drivers and tour guides made sure we were greeted and escorted through each destination, from Medellín to Bogotá to Cartagena and our final destination on Isla Barú. While many friends expressed concern over our safety in Colombia, I can say we did not feel unsafe for a moment. The Colombia of today is no longer one riddled with crime and drugs, but rich in culture and charm.

We greatly enjoyed the thriving art scene of Comuna 13 and the nightlife of Medellín. Our hotel made us feel like we were in the middle of the rainforest, while just steps away from the bustle and excitement of the Poblado district. Our visit to a wonderful coffee plantation provided a full education on every step of the coffee-making process, from the berries on the tree all the way to a delicious cup, delivering a new appreciation for black coffee. I may only drink Colombian from now on.

Bogotá proved to be a modern city with an incredible food scene. Our agent arranged an amazing gastronomical tour for us one evening that catered to our dietary needs. We attended an amazing wedding on top of an old portside fort in Cartagena and enjoyed the charm of the old walled city before relaxing on a pristine beach off the coast, then heading home to tell everyone to hurry down to see all Colombia has to offer.

I can only say, Zicasso is the only way to plan your travel, whether alone or with a small group. For those considering Colombia, our in-country travel company carries my strongest endorsement.

Our 10-day family trip to Colombia was perfect in every respect. Our travel agent and her company did an exceptional job right from day one of planning. She listened to every request of ours regarding accommodations, food choices, and the type of activities we were interested in. She made excellent suggestions and planned everything in detail. 

We had many unique experiences during the trip that made us fall in love with Colombia. The tours and activities were all paced just the way we liked and the guides were most helpful, even making changes as we went along if necessary. We enjoyed every single day and destination because everything was well taken care of, even when we were there. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. 

Thanks to Zicasso and our travel company for the extremely professional and personal service in planning this beautiful trip.
