Vamos Colombia Tour: Personalized Travel
GUESTS COMMENTS
Dave from Santa Barbara:
"Colombia is a beautiful, friendly country. The people are amazingly friendly, happy to see Americans, and I never felt unsafe anywhere I went.
Bogota is beautiful, clean, and interesting. The people who run the High Park Hotel could not have been nicer. The Botero Museum may have been the highlight.
Cartagena was the high point of the trip. The hotel was charming as could be, the staff were wonderful, the city is spectacular, and I will remember many of the meals for a long time. The food was great! Cartagena is world class!
Walter knew all the places, and was immediately available by phone or e-mail when I had questions.
Colombia is a great destination. I can recommend it without reservations. Walter is the one with the reservations!
Thanks Walter!!!
Many Thanks from me and Edgard!!!
Next time I am in SF I will try to call.”

“I am a season traveler and have been to over 80 countries around the world. My recent trip to Colombia is one of my all time favorites. Although Colombia has had bad reputation in the past, the crime rate has dropped significantly in last few years and I felt perfectly safe everywhere I went.
Thanks to Walter Rey and his company Vamos Colombia Tours I have visited Bogota very efficiently, hitting all the major sights and two museums plus I took an excursion to Zipaquira and the Salt Cathedral, all in two days. Walter is very knowledgeable about local culture and history, being Colombian himself. Plus after living in the USA for more than 20 years he knows exactly what American tourists expect and like. He is a charming and easy going person and I thoroughly enjoyed his company while I was in Bogota.
Bogota is a nice metropolis, with beautiful colonial architecture in the center and trendy modern suburbs. The Gold Museum has a spectacular collection of precolombian artifacts. The museum has been recently renovated and whoever designed the exhibit and displays was a genius. A must see! The Botero Museum is also very interesting. The hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs in Bogota are excellent and the night life is very diverse and interesting. Walter is a great source of information about all the details and he generously offers his help with any requests and demands one might have.
I also visited Cartagena de Indias, one of the most beautiful and enchanting cities I have ever seen. Walter arranged a city tour for me with an excellent local guide. Again, thanks to him, I learned a lot about local history and culture. Cartagena is the best kept secret of the Caribbean and Latin America and I highly recommend it as a destination.”

Phil from San Francisco:
“From the thriving Gay scene in Bogota to meeting local gays elsewhere in Colombia, Walter introduced me to many people.
The Caribbean Coast trip was wonderful. I really felt connected and explored a lot. I encountered no safety issues whatsoever, [any past fear has] all changed.
The highlights of this great trip were connecting with Walter's friends and family. I have traveled throughout Central & South America. I never felt more welcome anywhere than in Colombia.”
