The drivers (we had two) were super attentive and kind on all our trips, as well as punctual and helpful. It should be noted that after the earthquake and we were left unable to leave Filandia, they were the only ones who gave us a solution to get to Medellín. They took us by road without trying to get more than what it was really worth
Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia con nosotros, los esperamos nuevamente.
It was an excellent experience, from the departure from Ibagué to the return, the communication with the drivers was spectacular, both were very kind. During the six-day tour, Heber and Steven provided us with personalized, door-to-door service, excellent communication with the company, they were attentive and open to any changes, and besides driving, they acted as our guides since they knew the area very well and gave us many recommendations. We would definitely book their transportation service again.
Muchas gracias por confiar en nuestra empresa, nos alegra mucho haber hecho parte de esa maravillosa experiencia, los esperamos pronto, saludos.
This tour exceeded our expectations in all ways, becoming in the best day in our Colombian adventure!! David and Javier planned an amazing day and perfectly adjusted the plans according to our needs and the changing weather. Their selection of stops, the good atmosphere they created and the amount of information provided was fantastic. I can't recommend this tour and these wonderful guides more, they restored our faith in organised tours.
