10/10 experience! From start to finish everything was amazing with this tour group. Nahun was incredible—so helpful, patient, and really made sure our tours was planned exactly how we wanted it. Super accommodating the whole time. Our tour guide David who accompanied us on the boat trip was great as well. He stayed with us the entire time, even when we got off the boat at the beach club and Cholon Island, making sure everything went smoothly. Nahun also gave us a lot of great recommendations and even set us up with a tour to Palenque for a great price. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for choosing us! It was a pleasure meeting you guys
Not the first time we use Victor for a tour planning, and never disappoints!! We were a big group, and he was able to accommodate us with the boat and the venue for lunch!! Kudos to Elvis, for his patience and spirit in handling this whole crazy group!!
We appreciate your loyalty to VIP BOATS for your vacation needs in Cartagena. Hope to see you guys very soon!!
I would 100% recommend this company to work with you and your group when you go to Cartagena. There’s nothing like feeling welcomed in a country that you are not from and that’s exactly what they provided for us! From our driver , to our tour guide Elvis, to the big boss Nahum, we were so lucky to be taken care of with such professionalism, kindness, fun, and whole lot of laughter. These guys are extremely understanding, easy going and will make sure you have a great vacation !!
Thanks so much! You guys were such a pleasure to have!
Absolutely amazing!! Literally no complaints Elvis and Nahum were amazing. I want them to be my guides everytime I come back!
Thanks for trusting us with your vacation plans in Cartagena! It was such a fun time! Your grand entrance on the bday boat was amazing!
Y’all when I say I am a WORRY WARD and I don’t trust easily? I mean it, VIPBOATS was nothing short of trusting, and pure FUN! From picking us up from the airport and making sure we were taken to a good money converting place to dropping us back for our departure flights, this company was a 10/10 find, we did the boat tour, Palenque tour and ATV tour and I’d do all three over the exact same! Elvis our guide was AMAZING! Such a cool person to hangout with, they decorated my birthday boat so beautiful. This experience was amazing. I plan on going back just to use Nahum and his experts again! Book with them! They are trust worthy, fun and professional! I truly appreciate everyone who serviced us! And extra huge shout out to Nahum for dealing with me before I even reached Colombia ensuring me that everything will be okay and that I can trust him. Amazing people! Book VIPBOATS or feel my raftttttttt lol 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Kiema!! Yes you were so concerned about Colombia as a whole and I am so glad you decided to come and it was a birthday to remember!! Thanks for trusting us with your special day.
I’ve been using this tour company for about four years, and it’s always a sure thing. I’ve done several tours with them, including Barú, a sunset cruise, the 5 Islands tour in Barú, and others, and I’ve never had a single issue. They are reliable, professional, and consistent. This is always my go-to tour company.
Thanks so much for being a loyal traveller and a loyal VIP customer. Hope to have you and your family in Cartagena soon!
We had two separate day trips to amazing beaches and clubs at Rosario Islands. The whole day was organized and taken care of bij Nahum’s team. From the pickup at the hotel to the boat trip, advice on where to go based on our preferences and everything with a smile!
Thanks for trusting us with your excursions in Cartagena. It was lovely having you! Have a safe flight back home!
From start to finish, my journey through Colombia was an absolute dream. The thoughtful decorations at my Airbnb for my birthday were a delightful surprise, and the private boat experience was nothing short of spectacular. A special shoutout to Elvis, our phenomenal guide, who truly went above and beyond. Colombia has captured my heart, and I'm already counting down the days until I can return!
