Never have I felt more welcome on than on this trip. Colombia is beautiful and the people are so warm and open. Not to mention the incredible food. Everything was organised perfectly and Colombia Travel Operator made sure that the trip went smoothly.
I have booked multiple tours through Colombia Travel Operator and the experience from beginning to end have always been amazing! For the most recent tour we had friends visiting for a short period of time. I contacted the owner of the company, Julio, to help design a customized tour for our friends. He designed a day tour that combined the Escobar, city, comuna 13,and food tours into one 6 hour day. Our friends were thoroughly impressed. Juan Carlo was our guide and he was informative and friendly. I feel like we always learn something new on the history and incredible past this city faced. I love exploring Comuna 13 and learning about all the positive changes this city has made and meeting all the wonderful people is a real highlight of the day. I highly recommend Colombia Travel Operator to handle all your tourism needs while visiting the beautiful country! You will not regret it! Read more
Colombia Travel Operator managed to organise one of the most interesting tours in our 3 week Colombia trip. We contacted them at 9 am and their helpful staff (Thank you Kelly!) arranged for Juan Carlos to join us and show us around Medellin according to our wishes. Juan Carlos speaks English fluently, and explains about his city with enthousiasm, profound knowledge and pride. We had the most wonderful day with Juan Carlos, at the end of the tour it felt like we had to say goodbye to a friend. Read more
