Besides my wonderful tour mates, Freddy was the reason I had such a great experience even though I fell ill the last few days. He accompanied me to the hospital even though it was very early in the morning, he was always positive and kind.

This Columbia express trip along the Caribbean coast, gave a really good insight into living in Columbia near the Caribbean beaches, and how vibrant and exciting the cities can be as well how the country sides can be very quiet and relaxing.

Great CEO and good company overcame the weak programme. All in all a different experience from previous G-Adventures holidays, but still one with lots of happy memories to take home.
