AMAZING VACATION AND EXPERIENCE - I contacted Maria as she came highly recommended and I see why. After initially reaching out she got back to me in reasonable timing and immediately jumped into trying to help me plan our stay in Cartagena. She was very informative about excursions/adventures and answered all my questions with honest and straightforward answers. We booked all excursions through her and once we arrived she was even BETTER!! She meet us at the airport, waited 1 1/2 + hours for us to come through immigration, which I appreciate her for. For some reason it just took forever to get through immigration. Ok, so after we got through that she was outside waiting with transportation for us to the hotel. She was very PLEASANT, & NICE. She confirmed our pickup for the next morning and days after. She always checked up on us to make sure or just inquire about the excursions she didn’t accompany us one. She made us fell safe and as if she was advocating on our behalf due to the language barrier. Please DO NOT HESITATE to book with her. You will not be disappointed. She is everything you look for in a tour guide. Our vacation was AMAZING!!! And we have to thank Maria for that. We will definitely be back to visit Colombia. THANK YOU AGAIN MARIA and TEAM!!! I pray your business continues to grow and prosper because you guys are truly AMAZING at what you do!!🖤👏🏾🇨🇴🖤

Awesome Tour! - The tour was great and my tour guide, John I believe was his name, was very knowledgeable. He showed us the ins and outs of Palenque and made sure we got a feel for their culture. We felt safe and taken care of the entire time. Thank you for everything.
