Colombia Tours and Vacations

tourist visa to Columbia and spent time fine-tuning the trip with us.and getting our airplane tickets from the US to Colombia and back to Miami.They were attentive to our needs. They made a conscious effort to show us Colombia. The guides were knowledgeable in all aspects that were promoted in the tour. The road trips were well planned, as well as the flights. Overall, they did a great job to show us Colombia, in all aspects.I will go back and this time to spend time on the caribbean area. 

a wonderful experience in Colombia for us. Our travel specialist worked with us to make sure that our trip included the activities we wanted to experience and the places we wanted to see. They narrow down for us the selection of hotels to stay in a good location with easy access to the places to we wanted to visit.  Also they recommended great restaurants in each location. Through their company we went to Medellin, a coffee farm outside Medellin and Cartagena. Everyone of their staff was absolutely lovely to be with and very knowledgeable about the history of Colombia, the impact of the guerrilla and the drug war on contemporary Colombia, the transformation of Medellin, coffee farming, the amazing variety fruits and birds unique to the region, etc.  Their guides and drivers were terrific and mostly bilingual. The travel company and their staff were able to provide experiences that maybe special for tourists to have access to.  We went to the barrios in mountains of Medellin where people were affected by poverty and drugs and showed us how in the last few years, it has been transformed into a dynamic and artistic community.  The people who live and work in this area guided us and showed us how they are working to build and educate their community.In Cartagena we stayed in a beautiful hotel in the old city, visited the major attractions and went to the islands to snorkel and enjoy the caribbean waters.Our travel specialist and the travel company did a wonderful job arranging for all the local airline tickets, transportation, hotel and restaurant reservations and guides.  Without their guidance we couldn't have been able to explore the country as extensively as we did.  

Medellin and Cartagena and our guide last month.

Our tour planner listened by phone weeks before our adventure to what my husband liked (and disliked) when traveling and what I liked (and disliked).  We shared with him ideas from Colombian friends for places to stay and restaurants to experience etc. and our tour planner incorporated much of that into our adventure after many e-mails.  We felt confident that when we would arrive all would be safe and in place and it was!

The best part was the private tours he arranged that were not your typical tourist group tours.  Instead we got to know the owners of a flower farm and coffee farm and the youth at Commune 1 in Medellin and had an incredible meal in a private home w an amazing host.   How inspiring it was to learn what Colombia has been through and where it is today and get to know people who proudly call Colombia home. We truly felt as if this was not only a vacation but a geography and history  lesson in a most relaxed fashion.

From the moment we were picked up at the airport by our tour planner's colleagues,the conversation and info flowed and Zicasso delivered a professional, knowledgeable guide who made our stay spectacular.  It was our first Zicasso adventure and certainly will not be our last.  Thanks again for listening and delivering a wonderful trip. 

our trip planner and his team.  His group of professionals were friendly, kind and were able to answer so many questions!.  Every hotel was wonderful and different and the remote places we stayed were outstanding.  The trip was weaved together so well, based on just what we indicated our desires were.   So many interesting sights and wonderful people and the FOOD!!!    Incredible food in Colombia and our trip planner was great about getting us to the best places.   The service was just incredible--probably the best we as a group has ever had--we have traveled in a group of 4 for years and there were so many things taken care of that we didnt expect--it was WOW!!

exceeded our expectations.  We traveled with two young infants and the company accommodated all of our needs and made traveling and touring several cities as easy as possible. We ended up forgetting items in a hotel and the company arranged for them to be sent to us.  We recommend them highly! 

and were extremely impressed with this travel agency. Every member of the team, from the agency owners through the local guides and drivers, was extremely knowledgeable, eager to please, professional, passionate about Colombia, personable and a pleasure to be with. The itinerary was exactly what we were looking for given the short time we had, and the experiences were outstanding.

For the most part our trip was flawless.  There was one hiccup in respect of the itinerary and a couple of minor issues with accommodation. However, the manner in which these issues were dealt with was exemplary. I would wholeheartedly recommend this travel agency for anyone who wants a truly unique insight into the country and its people. 

Our guides were all personable and knowledgeable about the sights we were seeing. Everything was taken care of for us and all we needed to do was enjoy the experience. Our contact was very responsive to us and was careful to plan the trip based on our interests and our personal preferences. 

We felt as if we had gotten a little  below the surface and as if we had friends in Colombia. 

Ana was a fantastic guide; extremely knowledgeable, patient and fun. The flower farm was a dream, Puerto Triunfo was like Colombian sleep away camp and the coffee farm was legitimately the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. The trip was really well planned out and they were very accommodating for being over the holidays. We loved al the family style dinners. We intend to use the company again in the future to venture into Bogota and the Amazon. 

our trip together.  We were very happy with everything and feel like we got a great taste of Colombia.

trip.  Many activities were included that we would have never found ourselves.  

and very professional. Would undoubtedly have them do our next trip to Colombia.
