Was really looking forward to this experience for days only to get to the meeting point and the provider advised us that the tour operator, Fancy Tours, did not provide them our booking information. The operator wanted to take us but they were not answering phones or messages so could not confirm, despite having a Viator e-ticket. They also didn't even have the courtesy to respond to my direct messaging. Disappointing and very frustrating experience as we wasted the day because it was too late to organize another tour as the bus literally drove off. I would have thought a service company would step-up and make it right vs stop communicating and just have Viator issue a refund, disappointing. We were very grateful for Viator issuing a prompt refund to at least lessen the stress on the payment side of it.

Wasn't the experience I was expecting. Rained majority of the time. On the boat ride back, the gentleman was "jumping" the wave carelessly and I fell to the ground and injured my hip. He was going so fast the host had to tell him to slow down and not to do that again.
Excellent experience. Great communication I would do it again
vibrant atmosphere, excellent music, attentive staff, good place to go
It was an honor to share our stories with you.
Good atmosphere for family and friends I spent super 100% recommended the place
We love that you had a blast on the water.
Beach party, was excellent service.
Glad you were part of it.
Had a blast! Lots of food and music and a good time! I totally recommend! Lots of vendors out selling stuff but Jesus was so hospitable
Hi Jasmin! We’re so happy to hear you had such a blast on the boat! It’s great that you enjoyed the food and the music. We will definitely pass your compliments along to Jesus; he always goes above and beyond to make our guests feel welcome. Thanks for the recommendation!"
Great experience, good music great vibes. Book with them !!!
AMAZING is what we aim for! Thank you so much for the shout-out and for recommending us to others. We’re glad you enjoyed the music and the vibes. Can't wait to have you back on board
We had the best time especially with Jesus and his crew. 10/10 will definitely book with him again.
Thank you for the 10/10 and the love! 🩷 We are so happy you had a perfect experience with us. See you next time!
If I could have put a big zero I would have put it!!! It's a tourist catch in an organized gang, it spoils a little bit the image of Colombia that I've seen so far. There is no point in stopping there and still doing it with tour operator. Very very disappointed!!!
Thank you for sharing your feedback. However, after reviewing our records, we have no history of a booking under your name, and it appears there has been a misunderstanding regarding which company you traveled with. The "Cholon" experience is a public destination visited by many different tour operators. Your comments describe a general dissatisfaction with the location and "tourist traps" in the area, rather than a specific issue with our staff, our boats, or our service. As a local operator, we pride ourselves on transparency and high-quality service to ensure our guests do not feel like "cash cows." Since you did not actually book with fancytourss, we kindly ask that you remove this review or move it to the correct operator's page, as it does not reflect the experience we provide. Best regards, The fancytourss Team
