Highly recommend, had a great time

First, I wanna start off by saying that I had such a great time. I decided to take a trip to Santa Marta for three days. I was able to see what I really wanted to see. For example we went to Minca & Tayrona. I did one each day. For starters I dont speak Spanish and Cesar was very helpful. He was with me all day, took me around everywhere and made sure I felt safe. I think the highlight of booking this trip is that these Tour Guide’s like Cesar knows exactly where to find the wildlife. We would be on a Random walk in Tayrona, and all of a sudden they have me look up to the right and there was either a different animal or a bird. I just thought it was really cool that he knew exactly where to look. I would highly recommend this tour with Cesar knew exactly where I should be looking and that’s how I got the amazing pictures. I also was picked up from the airport and that was very simple. They took me straight to my hotel and I felt really safe. Overall, the trip was really great. I would highly recommend this. I had such a great time. I think I also got really lucky because the weather wasamazing. I went in the middle of April, which was really awesome. And also right at the end of my trip in Santa Marta, Cesar organized a car that took me to Barranquila, which was really awesome for me. Friendly and will be back with them

Operator response

Hi Julie, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. It was a real pleasure helping you organize your experience in Santa Marta, from your arrival transfer to your days in Tayrona and Minca, and finally your transfer to Barranquilla. I’m very glad to know that you felt safe, well taken care of, and that you were able to enjoy the nature, wildlife, and beautiful places you visited. It’s especially nice to know that you had the chance to spot different animals and birds during your Tayrona experience. Those moments always make the visit even more memorable. Reviews like yours are extremely important for a small local business like mine, because they help future travelers feel confident when planning their visit. You will always be very welcome back in Santa Marta, and I hope next time you can enjoy even more of this beautiful region. Thank you again, and I wish you all the best. Best regards, César Mera
