Besides my wonderful tour mates, Freddy was the reason I had such a great experience even though I fell ill the last few days. He accompanied me to the hospital even though it was very early in the morning, he was always positive and kind.

Great experience. A slightly smaller group size of 12 would have been perfect.

This Columbia express trip along the Caribbean coast, gave a really good insight into living in Columbia near the Caribbean beaches, and how vibrant and exciting the cities can be as well how the country sides can be very quiet and relaxing.
