"Phenomenal! Karen was awesome. We made a potato soup with an avocado rose set on cheese in the middle of the soup. Then we made a sword fish in a cream sauce and finished with a chocolate fondue dish with a variety of passion fruit and other local fruits. It was the best cooking class I have ever taken. Thanks Karen!"

What travelers are saying

"My husband and I have just returned from our 3-week honeymoon in Colombia organised by Bruce and Paula and the wider team at BnB Columbia. It was truly the best holiday/ travel of our lives. We loved it so much that we consider moving there once we learn more Spanish! We had a magical experience thanks to BnB Columbia, who have organised a terrific itinerary for us and provided full support from start to finish. Paula was our main point of contact/ organiser and she was a TOP STAR!!! She was the most  kind, helpful, professional and flexible person , from the start of our initial discussions until the very end. She has always been very switched on/ hands-on, listened to us and to our ideas, gave us open and direct advice (regarding flights, accommodation, restaurants, activities- literally everything).  She even saved me when I got food poisoning from a sandwich and got medicine delivered to me super quickly. She is definitely someone you can trust and I would highly recommend her (and the whole agency) to organise your trip. We are incredibly happy to have gone to Colombia through BnB agency. They organised a proper personalised itinerary for us to match our interests. Without BnB Colombia, we wouldn't have been able to do some of the fun/ different type of activities which they were able to organise using their large network of tour guides. They can really offer any activity from A to Z.  Their tour guides were also top-notch. Especially Alejandro in Medellin. The best tour guide we have ever experienced. Some of the activities we did included a salsa class, a boat party with Colombian dance performance, as well as an indigenous village visit. All of these activities were top quality delivered with top service. We also thought that BnB Colombia offered a very good value for your money compared to some UK agencies which (in my personal view) were a bit of rip off for what they offered. If you are thinking of going through an agency, dont go with a UK agency, definitely go with BnB Colombia. BnB Colombia also made us feel I like a family. We felt like they really cared about us and that we had the best time ever. They were so engaged with us, so supportive. We felt safe at all times, no safety issues at all. They organised the transport everywhere which was always on time (this made me feel bad actually as we were always running late which was embarrassing). The drivers were super patient with us. Paula always texted us the night before about the plan for next day. We didn't have to worry about ANYTHING. Honestly, the only shortcoming of this agency is that I am not sure they cover other countries, otherwise we would 100% book with them again! Michaela & Jonathan"

What travelers are saying

"It's hard to describe how lucky we are to have been able to work with Stephanie in planning our honeymoon to Japan. From the very beginning, Stephanie was friendly, flexible, and an absolute wealth of knowledge. We had several meetings with her leading up to our trip to come up with the perfect itinerary. Throughout this, Stephanie was mindful of our budget, without sacrificing anything. During our trip, Audley was available at all hours to help with anything and everything which was such a relief to know we had that resource available to us. I truly cannot imagine having planned this trip without all of Stephanie's guidance and knowledge- and cannot imagine taking another big trip like this without the help of Audley. Thank you again!"

What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

"Our trip to Iceland was absolutely stunning and Charlie the Traveler curated an amazing and adventurous trip for us that kept in mind all of the attractions that were on our list and many other gems this beautiful country has to offer. We hit a few roadblocks with our tours due to weather conditions and volcanic activity in the area, but Charlie The Traveler and his team were on it at every moment and were able to provide us with alternative tours that did not take away from the overall experience. His team is led by individuals that truly cares about your experience. If you need a perfect trip planned then Charlie the Traveler is the way to go.

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Colombia Tour Selection Trips

  • While Colombia is no longer someplace to avoid beyond the cruise ports, there are still areas to be wary of. Heed safety warnings and travel with a group.
  • Take a tour of a coffee plantation to get an inside look at where one of Colombia’s most valuable commodities comes from
  • There is much to do outside the major cities and tourist hubs - a guided tour will ensure you see the countryside, local villages, and coastal towns while staying safe.
  • If you are taking a tour of the Amazon, there is no better place than Colombia, where there are thousands of acres of untouched rainforest. Colombia’s Amazon is much less developed than forest in other countries, however, so if you are expecting to stay at a 5-star jungle lodge, Colombia may not be the right destination for you.

Additional details

Common Colombia Tour Toutes

The longer guided tour routes of Colombia often depend on which city travelers arrive in. Similarly, travelers’ length of stays in Colombia heavily impact how much of the country may be seen during a tour. This is because travel times are significant between cities, especially if travelers along Colombia tour routes are looking to visit the Caribbean coast, the Andes, and/or Los Llanos.

While it is possible to arrive in one Colombian city and leave from another, this usually complicates flights and can lead to travel delays. There are internal flights between cities that may be booked, but this requires advance planning. Travelers in Colombia who are not interested in frequent travel may consider limiting themselves to one area of the country or visit fewer stops than are offered on common Colombia tour routes.

If travelers to Colombia are beginning their stay in Bogotá, they can choose to either head north to San Gil or west to Armenia or another part of the Coffee Region. The first option provides an opportunity to engage in adventure-tourism, such as rappelling, paragliding, or climbing.

On the other hand, Armenia provides travelers to Colombia with the opportunity to see coffee plantations and witness first-hand their cultivation techniques with the option to purchase sustainably-grown coffee beans. Cali is another major city nearby that travelers often stop at, given the relaxed nature of it which serves as a break during travel.

After choosing to stop in or skip Salento, travelers come to the limits of Medellin. Once a stigmatized city of crime, it is now a haven for art and music which travelers are encouraged to engage with. From there, Cartagena is the next typical stop, as travelers are finally given the opportunity to visit the Pacific Ocean.

The options to visit nearby islands or scuba dive along the world’s third largest coral reef are available for travelers here at this point along their Colombia tour route. This attitude of relaxation is continued with a visit to Tayrona National Park, at the feet of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains and along the Caribbean coast.

Before finally bringing their tour route of Colombia to an end, travelers can decide to stop at the town of Santa Marta. While small, the city is a well-known starting point for the 4-6 day journey into the surrounding mountains to “La ciudad perdida” (The Lost City). At the end of a long trip along a busy tour route, it may be difficult to find the motivation to complete such a trek, but the end result of witnessing the historic ruins is well worth it.

Who Will Enjoy Traveling in Colombia?

Since Colombia is well-known for both its urban centers and diverse landscapes, it appeals to travelers of all ages. For those looking to enjoy luxury travel experiences in Colombia, each major city offers its own variety of highly-rated hotels.

With a rise in infrastructure and tourism, Colombia has made serious efforts to cater to those looking to stay in comfort within their cities. To facilitate this process, specific hotels can be booked through Colombia tour companies, as many include pick-up and drop-offs from airports and activities.

For those seeking adventure and those who want to relax, Colombia is only as busy as those who visit wish it to be. Depending on how active travelers to Colombia are, there are different ways to explore the country.

In the major cities especially, travelers in Colombia will likely see umbrellas or signs that read “Free Walking Tours,” which are provided by locals who expect a tip at the end of their trip. There are also relaxed ways to spend the day on guided tours of Colombian museums.

Centering around art, history, and even gold, the museums are open to the public (some have the entrance fee included with guided tours) every day except for national holidays and Mondays. For those with families, there is a children’s museum in Bogotá that features hundreds of exhibits and an actual (non-functional) Boeing 720 airplane that can be examined.

Unfortunately, travelers in Colombia looking to experience winery tours will have a difficult time, as there are only a handful of merited ones. However, this does not mean that there are not multiple culinary tours in Colombia. For the “foodie” in any traveler, the city of Bogotá is widely regarded as the culinary (and national) capital of Colombia.

The Paloquemao food market, located centrally in the city, is a huge collection of food stalls filled with local and traditional recipes for travelers to taste. Chocolate tasting classes are also available by tour in most major cities, as Colombia is a producer of the bean and an avid fan of it in traditional drinks.

For thrill-seeking travelers looking to push their limits, paragliding in Mesa de Ruitoque is available, usually year-round given the area’s temperate conditions. This activity can be done in a group tour, but the actual flight itself must be solo. At 17,000 feet, the snowy peaks of El Cocuy are available for exploration.

Considered to be a haven for rock climbers for both its views and remoteness, the mountain range has miles of unexplored territory that travelers in Colombia can traverse with guided tours. On the other hand, travelers yearning for warm, sandy beaches on the Pacific Ocean can visit Malpelo Island.

Not only is the island beautiful (and hard to get to), but the surrounding water is home to hundreds of hammerhead sharks that swim in schools together. Adventurous travelers may scuba dive with them, making for great photos and unforgettable memories.

Is Colombia safe?

On account of a stigma that has permeated from news articles and popular TV portrayals of Colombia’s past, the country has made many strides to ensure that it is safe for international travelers.

As of 2016, Colombia has been at peace from internal turmoil and is quickly becoming the site of a blossoming art and music scene. The progress it has made in providing a safe environment for travelers is reflected in Pope Francis’ journey to Bogotá, Colombia in 2017. In order to further solidify this reinvention of their image, the country has focused on developing a tourism sector that is especially for families traveling in Colombia.

As of 2014, the estate of the famed (now deceased) drug-lord, Pablo Escobar, was reconstructed into a safari theme park. Complete with a water park and zoo, Hacienda Napoles is available for families in Colombia to visit for around $15 per person. On another note, while bottled water is still available, travelers on a budget will be glad to know that the tap water is safe to drink in Colombia’s major cities.

From a point of travel, Uber is prolific throughout Colombia, which is a safe alternative to walking or bussing between locations. Similarly, Airbnb’s have also become an option for lodging for travelers in Colombia who want to ensure they have a safe place to stay. With the successful development of ecological and commercial tourism in Colombia, there is something for all travelers to enjoy besides personal safety.

Much like any other country, there are certain sections of rural roads or villages to be avoided, most of which are not ones travelers are likely to be in. Especially in cities, it is important to be vigilant at night. While many places to lodge may host a night-life of their own, travelers in Colombia may opt to head further into cities.

It is recommended to explore the popular areas of Colombia that are well-known as ones for travelers, as this limits unforeseen circumstances. As a rule of thumb, watching all drinks and not leaving items unattended prevents druggings and thefts. Colombia tour guides are often great resources for verifying which parts of cities are to be avoided and which are the most fun for travelers to explore.
