I very much enjoyed my time in Cartagena, Columbia, South America in 2022. I was told that the month of December afforded us mildness in regard to the usual warmer temperatures of other months. My Accommodations were comfortable and safe, and we had a magnificent hostess. Bernell's planning was high quality and I did not have to do anything except arrive there. I even had money exchanged before leaving the USA. One less detail for her to have to take care of upon my arrival. We, Bernell and I, made new friends in Cartagena and we are excited to be working with the dance leaders we met to host a Dancing in the Street joint project in the future. More details to come. It is my sincere hope that you all will accept her next invitation to "meet her" in a foreign or unique location, or allow her to plan a travel excursion for your family so you too can experience "travel like a local" -- I guarantee you will be delighted that you did.

Jose was a fantastic guide. He was really enthusiastic, fun and most importantly looked after us / kept us all safe. He was clear in communicating our itinerary with us, and his English was very very good.

It was an amazing trip which showed very well the diversity of Colombian landscapes, climates, nature, cities, food, culture and people. Hotels were very good and in the center of the cities. Especially the GHL in Cartagena was great to explore the numerous restaurants and bars of Getsmani in the evening. The transport to the airport and to the hotel worked well. You get your flight ticket via Email one day before. If not just drop them a short message and you will receive them within a few minutes. The drivers will contact you via whatsapp few hours before or when you arrived at the airport. I booked the tour with an English speaking guide, because I don’t speak Spanish. It was a good choice and the English of the guides was very good. The tours were good, you don’t have to stand in the lines like normal tourists and in the most touristic places you get there earlier than the big groups. So you can enjoy the places, e.g. El Peñol rock, not so crowded at the beginning. The time schedule is also relative flexibel. You have enough time to visit the attractions and there is also time to go shopping or having e.g. a very good Colombian coffee without hurry or stopping at a ATM. The included free snacks and lunch during day were always delicious and local. The advantage of a private tour is definitely that you can ask everything and you get much more information of culture, daily life, politics and so on cause you spend a lot of time with the guide. The only big con for me was the very high price if you are travelling alone and not in groups of 2+.

I just came back from Colombia and this bike/coffee tour was the highlight of my trip. The itinerary was well designed and thought out. The bike route was fantastic, consists of rail line, rolling hills, some challenging climbs, single track and a long downhill with a breathtaking view. Meals I tried along the way were local and very tasty. Coffee tasting, a coffee farm tour, and staying overnight at the farm was once in a lifetime kind of experience. The farm we visited had won a bunch of awards in prior years and the coffee we tasted was one of the best that I ever had. Flavor was complex and soothing. Then we went on a coffee farm tour where I saw different coffee production processes, countless of coffee trees, other tropical fruit trees, waterfall, and so many different types of birds. I got to spend a night at the farm which included a dinner and a breakfast prepared by the farm chef. Fantastic food. There were two cabins newly built at the farm. The room was rustic, clean and offered a fantastic panoramic view overlooking Bucaramanga city in the distance, the farm, and the mountains on the other side. In the morning I woke up to bird noise and a sunrise over the mountain. It’s a luxury hotel in the middle of the mountain. Next day we biked through pineapple fields, local villages, more coffee farms, local markets, and gorgeous Chicamocha canyon. I had to stop riding due to my physical condition shortly before a 5 mile downhill to the bottom of the canyon. That would have been so much fun. I got picked up by my sag vehicle when I needed to stop riding. The view at the bottom of the canyon was fantastic. I think what stands out the most besides food, bike rides, and coffee farm is a team running the tour. They made me feel safe and supported whole time. They catered to my needs such as distance of riding, bike routes, food and so on. They made the whole experience so much better. From I got picked up at the airport until I got dropped I pretty much didn’t have to worry about anything, and just was able to enjoy. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience a different part of Colombia away from tourists heavy areas. It offers a good balance of relaxation and physical challenge, excellent support, and an experience of a life time.

My mother and I went on the Hidden Colombia trek to the Lost City back in January/February of 2015 and were so absolutely amazed at our experience! Almost every single thing was taken care of for us by OneSeed: from our airport rides in Bogota, our B&B accommodations, our flight to Santa Marta, all meals while on the breath-taking hike to La Ciudad Perdida, and so much more! Our guides, Sally and Wilson, were beyond great, and our cook, Danilo, was fabulous! We had three perfect meals per day, plus a couple carb-loaded snacks in between to fuel our bodies throughout the day while climbing the Andes. Our experience was so perfect, that my mom and I went AGAIN in January, 2016! We just simply had a craving for more intense hiking. The second time around was just as great as the first. Hopefully we will be booking a third trip with OneSeed in the next few months, either to Machu Picchu or back to Colombia! I would recommend them to anybody!

The trip was fabulous. the guide was superb. He has excellent knowledge of the local birds and was happy and helpful throughout despite being ill. The most memorable part was staying in Tatama. An excellent place. Good food and great hospitality.
